Sorry Braino, I don't know which one it is either. I love cryptics but those sort of clues always stump me.

Hi braino

8d = shenanigans
18d = recital

I'm from Amersfoort in the middle of the Netherlands.

Best of luck for your admission to Hospital. Ironically I'll be joining you for open heart surgery, won't be around here for a while I think.

Cheers

Hi Dutchy thanks and lots of best wishes for your coming surgery. I'm having my gall bladder removed and a bit of work on the adhesions in my tummy after my bowel surgery 5 years ago. Can't keep a good woman down!!!
