08 Dec 04 - 04:41 PM (#1351264) Subject: RE: BS: Cryptic crossword clue From: Helen I read a page of some of the best & cleverest crytpic crossword clues and answers in a trivia book about 20 years ago. I wrote them down on the back of two scrap library catalogue cards and kept them, but could only ever find the answers and not the clues after that. I remember a couple of them: Clue 1: Orphan has neither view Clue 2: What the Greek tailor said (and I just found a reply from the Greek customer) Clue 3: She, too great for words, can never have children There were more but I can't remember them at the moment.

08 Dec 04 - 08:15 PM (#1351466) Subject: RE: BS: Cryptic crossword clue From: HuwG To egg on = "toast" ? £30 (9,7,3,8) = "Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras". (In UK money, £30 is also 3 x £10 notes, "three tenners".) |

Like you however I can make no sense in trying to fit it to the rest of the clue. However I have the same problem with all the other words that fit the letters you supplied |
