re colossus 200 giant cryptic
19a the first friendly nation to correspond. I have T+L+Y
72A young child's ribs. I have +I+S
20A on board, have grooming sessions with barber> I have S+A+E+. I think the answer is shaves but I can't see how that fits in with "on board"
Can anyone elp?
@puzzledjohn,
19a Tally
72a Kids, rib meaning to tease, joke.
I think it is shaves. Have has an s at either side. Have is in the clue and I think the 2 s may symbolise being in something.
@puzzledjohn,
It's nice to be appreciated, thank you.
@puzzledjohn,
If you see 'on board' in the clue, the answer will start and finish with S.
Quote:Historically, prefixes for civilian vessels often identified the vessel's mode of propulsion, such as "MV" (motor vessel), "SS" (screw steamer; often cited as "steam ship"), or "PS" (paddle steamer).
Prefixes indicating a vessel's purpose, e.g. "RMS" (Royal Mail ship), or "RV" (research vessel), were also used.
@izzythepush,
Only he is puzzled and your words from his would be something...
