Hi julksy

You can be proud, I'm still struggling with mine. Can only help you with a couple. I have the following for:

52d = therapeutic
76a = use

Someone may verify above. When I found the others I will post again unless someone else comes up with the answers.

Thanks Dutchy. Smile

Today when I checked my mailbox I found a letter from Lovatts.
A $50 gift voucher for the last Holiday Collection Cryptic....*yay*

I'll be looking for my name (Julie Friend), in the winners list next issue.

I appreciate all the help you have all given me.

Kudos to you all.

Hi julksy

Have worked on 69d, and have come up with 'series', and for 80a I submit 'treasures'. Trust one of the regulars will verify above.

Now do me a favour and tell me what you have for:
12a = a?o?e
35a = ?i?y?a?
36a = h???p
37d = ??w?r?s

Those are the only ones I still need to complete puzzle.

regards Dutchy

I see congratulations are in order. Good on you.

Fingers crossed it is the start of many more wins for you.
Hopefully your run of luck will be contagious.

Mind if I butt in, Dutchy

How about, for 12A "At one"

0 Replies

Hi julksy & tufdevil

'at one' I have considered and is most probably correct, presently can't link it up to the clue given though.

Perhaps someone else can?

0 Replies

I'm still wondering about 36A....Do you think it's 'hot up' or 'het up' ?

Dutchy.....I can't quite explain the clue either.....at one perhaps is linked to 'in tune'.....I even read it as one word 'atone' but it still doesn't tie in......It just 'feels' right......*shrugs*

0 Replies

Julksy I think 'het up' is the way to go for 36a. Have a look at the following explanation from a dictionary and see what you think:

het up

adjective

2. worked up emotionally by anger or excitement; "was terribly het up over the killing of the eagle"; "got really het up over the new taxes"; "he was suddenly het up about racing cars"

0 Replies

I think you're right.

Het up sounds like the correct anser.

Hi again, Dutchy

12A The clue is "in tune with a bad note"

At one = of the same mind = in tune with

A (bad) note = at one (anagram on note)

OK?
