Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: alanabit Date: 13 Nov 04 - 07:25 AM From the Guardian, my favourite was, (1,6,3,1,4!). You have to be a clever bloke to tackle Aracauria, John. I had a go this week and I couldn't understand half of it when I saw the answers. I got most of Audreus yesterday! |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 07 Feb 04 - 11:48 AM Spot on, HuwG:-) The other one is from a bit further back. Clue could also be Politician rockin' sec in lap! Cheers :D (Both from Stanley Accringtons- Can't act, yel nor sing - famed stanagrams btw) |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: HuwG Date: 07 Feb 04 - 09:05 AM DtG: Ow! He buggers the president. (6,1,4): George W. Bush |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 06 Feb 04 - 06:20 PM Ok, ok - The ones I started with were real wrong answers(!?!?) to crossword clues, if you know what I mean... :-~ But now we are on cryptic clues and agramans how about Politician should lock penis in car. (5, 9) Or... Ow! He buggers the president. (6,1,4) Cheers :D |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: John-S Date: 06 Feb 04 - 02:52 PM These aren't lateral. The first one's from Araucaria in The Guardian and is, for my money, the best crossword clue ever. Poetical scene has surprisingly chaste Lord Archer vegetating (3, 3, 8, 12) The second one's just an anagram Britney Spears (13) |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: GUEST,Sibelius Date: 06 Feb 04 - 02:04 PM Some typo, Nigel! I've spent the last two days trying to shoehorn 'NONE' or something like it into your clue, and thinking 'if only it was ...JKMN...' I'd know the bl**d*n' answer! |

Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 05 Feb 04 - 06:43 AM BanjoRay: as it is 'an oldie' I will charitably assume the answer to be 'Hist' (either an abbreviation for Historic, or an expression calling for silence). Of course, other anagrams may also be available Nigel |

|
Subject: RE: BS: lateral thinking crossword... From: HuwG Date: 02 Feb 04 - 07:44 AM ABCDEFGHIJLKM = "Atom" The flower of Florence = "Arno" Is "Overburdened Mailman" a clue ? If so, my brain is working away at concepts like, "Letters of the utmost gravity", and such like. How many letters ? By the way, £30 (9,7,3,8) = "Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras" (three tenners <g>). |
