Hi Everyone
Am doing the Stinker, going ok except for 103d Noble rot fungus
I have MOT?Y?I? although I think the answer is BOTRYTIS but
103a witty saying I have MOT MOT
Could someone let me know where I have gone wrong?
Thanks
Tigiie
I think what you want is Bon Mot. The B is the begining of botrytis which is the answer to Noble Rot fungus. (you were right!)

Hi Everyone
Have another one.
213a Reggae's forrunner SKI but
214d have IR?L, I know this should be ARIL
but it doesn't fit, comes out as IRIL.
Internet says IRIL is a misspelling of ARIL?
Thanks
Tigiie
Hi Tigiie
for 213a Reggae's forerunner should be
SKA
Kiwinan
Hi Kiwinan
Thank you, can Reggae's forerunner be SKI as
well (or have I had this wrong in a previous
crossword?)
Many thanks
Tigiie
Hi tigiie
Kiwinan is correct, SKA is the right and only word for reggea fore-runner.
See:
ska Jamaican urban dance form popular in the 1960s, influential in reggae.
