I've admitted defeat.

53A. Minute seems a bit like thirteen years.......T _ E _ _

47D. Their clients may have trouble seeing straight.....__ _ _ H _ A _ _ _ _ _ _ S

75A. Animal tore around to start with...._ _ T _ _

71D. Tied up Heath and Edward briefly.....M _ _ _ _ D

78A. Mature bands categorised by how old they are....A _ E _ _ _ U _ _


I have an idea of some of these but just can't work out how the answer could fit in.

Help?



Ohhhh....also....32 A.....The clue is A duo is also announced.....is the answer TWO or TOO?
I have decided on 'too'

Hi Julsky
I am still working on the cryptic so some of my answers may not be correct, I hope someone will verify.
54a tardy
47d psychiatrists
75a otter
71d moored
78a age groups
Some of these answers i am unable to explain, but you have to start somewhere. Good Luck

Thanks Tuesday.

I forgot about 37D...I haven't got that one either.

Any ideas on the Two Too one? (32A?)

Haven't got anything for 37d yet and for 32a I have two only because a duo is two. Am open to anyone elses opinion.

Hi Julksy & Tuesday

53a = teeny
32a = two
37d = emanate.

All the others submitted by you Tuesday are the same as I have.

Good luck ladies.

Hi Tuesday

For 79a I have 'ennui' - 66d 'invader' - 52d 'selfserving' 67d 'openair.

I think you went wrong with 52d. Hope this helps.

Dutchy

ps: did you get my message I went for "velarized"?

Thanks for that Dutchy I was thinking it could be selfserving while I was waiting for your reply. YES I did get the message about velarized, I don't think I'm ever going to forget that word :wink:

Dutchy......Can you teach me how you got 'two' for 32A?

I decided on 'too'

I found this one very tricky and couldn't figure out if the clue was in 'duo' or 'also'.....I have no idea what the 'announced' part of the clue means.

Hi julksy

I can't help you because I made a 'typo' in my answer to you.Embarrassed Glad you ask the question otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. "too" is correct.
