1. Grouchy transportation from abroad (5)
4. Common to number two and number ten but not eg ram (4)
8. The Diamond Foundation (4)
9. Boiled potato heart talks tooth and gum (5)
21. Stir up horse for charmer in the underworld (7)

Thanks for all your answers; that's me finished.

Glad I could help you Tryagain, would have been nice for you to have reciprocated.

How clueless to not take it upon yourself to reciprocate Tryagain. Any letters to help with those cryptic clues Cafta?
1. Cross
8. Hope
21. Orpheus

Thanks epenthesis for your answers. Unfortunately no, the puzzle is a list of cryptic clues in which the resulting answers tie together somehow. Just have the number of letters of the answers in brackets.

Cafta: Try, if you were my husband I would gladly drink it!

"How clueless to not take it upon yourself to reciprocate"


Strewth, I'm being savaged by a Swaggie!

Pps. Don't worry about Epenthesis he's not the full quid; kangaroos loose in the top paddock, if you catch my drift!

You got lots more than me, cafta. Thanks for your answers.

1. OSCAR (Overseas Car=Oscar the grouch)

8. I didn't get "hope" but "rock". Why "hope"?

And can you tell me how they are related to love, the title?

Thanks for your imput Crypticheadache. I have no idea of the tie in to the title! Was hoping for lots of help from other Lovatt's fans but not much response! Looks like I have to be patient and wait for the next Colossus issue!

Cracked it!
I cracked it! They are all one half of a partnership! I can't believe I solved it! Its quite funny!

ingeniousoldlady more like it. I am still working on your theory but it looks like that's the answer. How did you do it??!!

Q(A)
will(grace)
orpheus(lucinda)

They are both together or often associated couples

Orpheus and Lucinda?! I don't think so.

Try "Orpheus and Eurydice".

My answer for 8 is Rock which would lead to "Rock and Roll".

My answer for 4 is Bert which gives "Bert and Ernie".

I reached the answer finally. Reconsider "felix", "chips", "hyde/jekyll", "hope", "miss", "queen"...and of course, "lucinda"!

Thanks to sadoldlady.

Well done all!

MY internet research led me to VENUS...and ADONIS. A shakespear sonnet. It was the partnership I didn't have. The answer is really clever.
