Hi Farkha

Thank you for that.

So that would make 37d Threshold as EVE??

Many thanks

Tigiie

Hi Tigiie
Threshold: The place or point of beginning; the outset.
Eve: The period preceding or leading up to any event, crisis, etc
I would very likely ue eve too ( I have not received the Big as yet). Good Luck

Hi Farkha

Do you get your books posted from Lovatts?

I received my book last Monday.

122a Internet journal-writer, I have BLO??ER

Does this mean anything to you? Am currently
going through the computer Thesaurus looking.

Many thanks and best wished

Tigiie

Hi tigiie

Farkha lives in England, their journals are sometimes different to ours.

122a = blogger.

If you lookup EscapePod last posting, you'll see I answered the same question there plus gave here a few more answer for that corner of the Demon.

Hope this helps.

Hi Dutchy and Farkha

Many thanks for the Blogger, I have learnt
something new.

Am nearly finished The Demon but will go
and have a look at EscapePod's last entry
before asking anything else.

Many thanks & best wishes

Tigiie

Hi Dutchy

Have looked up EscapePod's answers, I also was not
sure of GILET.

The last three I can't get are

65d Extravagant behavior, I have HE?O?CS (??HEROICS, doesn't seem
to match the clue ??)

140a Film Buff, I have C?N?A?TE

103d Refine (software) ?E??G

Many thanks for your help and assistance ALWAYS

Tigiie

Hi Tigiie

65d = heroics
140a = cineaste
103d = debug

Hope this helps, you can buy me a rum and coke for X-mas.

Regards Dutchy

Hi Dutchy

Thank you very much for those answers as I couldn't
even find them on the internet.I would buy you a rum and coke for Christmas if I could, you are so good to us that can't find our
answers for crosswords, etc.

Think I will now do the DIY as I have lots of time,
am also working on the Mega.

As you know, I have been sick and have been in
hospital twice, this will be my fifth week recuperating.
Would love to go back to work but am hypoglysemic,
don't think they would like me collapsing to the floor
a couple of times a day (I don't want to frighten them
as it really frightens me). Trying to work out diet and
fluids to alleviate this.

Many thanks and BIG BEST WISHES
Tigiie

Thanks tigiie, trust you will be back on your feet soon, take it easy. Best wishes to you to.

Dutchy

December Bib

Hi Edith

Welcome to our little crossword site.

The Demon (my favourite)

for 4d I have EMOTIVE
and 42a I have EVERTS

I have finished The Demon so can help if you need
to know any answers.

Best wished and good luck

Tigiie

Hi Dutchy, I do not live in England- I subscribe to Lovatts there. I live in Islamabad, Pakistan, which could be about as far from you as is the UK. Cheers

Hi farkha

How are you? Have always been under the impression you lived in the UK, must have come about because of the different Lovatts puzzles we've talked about in the past. Thank you for putting me right.

Regards Dutchy.

Hi Dutchy, I'm fine and thanks for asking. Am stuck on one clue Dec. Demon
If
Internet journal-writer is Blogger B
Shock is Appal L
Handicap is Liability I
Pixie-like is Elfin N
Nervous excitement is Agitation G
What on earth is BLING? It is supposed to be Flashy accessories!
Amazing how the brain goes into neutral without engaging the clutch(automatic transmission, no doubt)

Hi Farkha

All your answers are correct including "BLING"
My definition comes from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia and is as follows:

"Bling-bling" (usually shortened to simply "bling") is a hip hop slang term which refers to expensive jewelry and other accoutrements, and also to an entire lifestyle built around excess spending and ostentation. In its essence, the term refers to the exterior manifestation of one's interior state of character, normally displayed through various forms of visual stimuli.

Hope this convinces you.

Regards Dutchy

Thanks Dutchy, I did come across bling-bling but did not persue it further because of it being a double barrelled word(bailed ouy too early and went down in flames). Sheesh. Thanks once again, my friend, for the re-education - have never come across the word before.

Re: LOVATTS DECEMBER BIG - THE DEMON

Dear Tigii
EMOTIVE is right. 42a should be EVERTS. Enjoy! Jayde
