Hi, I need help with these laat few clues:
66a binge s?l?r?e
93a musical instrument mutes s?r?i?i
147a curved chair leg ?a?r?o?e
152a peaceful refuge ?a?es (I thought haven, but I have arose for 'came up)
241d receptive (to) a?m?n?d
244d skinflint s?i?o?e
Thanks
I'm a Yank, don't have the puzzle, so these are guesses< binge: splurge, leg:cabriole skinflint is likely scrooge, if you can do something about that i
@MontereyJack,
Thanks, thats a great help. I tjought scrooge too, but the crossing clue is ancient land in italy - I have Eritrea, hence the i
Eritrea is a North African country, most recently federalized with Ethiopia, now independent. Etruria was in Italy (remember the Etruscans?)
one kind of musical instrument mute is a straight (again a pesky i)(and one more letter--may not work).
@Dutchy,
Thanks all, I'd managed to work out all but oasis - had a spelling mistake causing the confusion! Appreciate the help
