may "BIG" bigcash

Hi philcottie

I have IDEA for 90a.

Hi dutchy how can 90 ac be IDEA when I have 65 dn ACCEPTED and 74 dn SHOWCASING so that would leave P?O? for 90 ac look forward to your comments.

P.S. I see you got your copy early fora change.

Hi philcottie

I have ASCRIBED for 65d and SPECTATING for 74d.

My guess is you're referring the the UK edition of the May Big which is often different to the Aussie version.

Cheers
Dutchy

Hi dutchy I am still cogitating with your answers but cannot tie up SPECTATING with EXHIBITING .To exhibit is to show so it figures that showcasing would tie up with EXHIBITING.But I will wait for a second and third opinion on this.Incidently I was referring to May Big which we get here in western Australia.I think the only difference between OZ version and U.K. version is probably the date and number ofthe issue.Anywaqy we'll wait and see what the general concensous is.
cheers.

P.S. my only problem at present is PLOT or PLOY and I think I might at this stage go for Ploy because that is SUBTIFUGE which is a CUNNING PLAN.

If the clue is actually "Cunning plan" (always helpful to provide these details), then I'd agree that ploy is superior to plot.

Hi philcottie

Have reviewed my puzzle and I agree with you, my three answers are wrong, senior moment I guess.

For 'cunning plan' I have now gone for PLOY as lmur has already suggested. See http://poets.notredame.ac.jp/cgi-bin/wn?cmd=wn&word=ploy

Thanks for disagreeing with me!

Hi dutchy and imur for confirming my selection.And dutchy regarding your senior moment and as an 82 year old male I consider myself lucky I can stil manage to do these c/words and it is good to get a second opinion.Anyway both of you and anyone else taking part GOOD LUCK.

Hi philcottie.

Good luck to you too, let me tell you, I'm not far behind you in the senior stakes.

Hi dutchy well we can both take a pat on the shoulder for being able to do these c/words.
Cheers
Philcottie
