at the risk of looking like a dill how do we put our answers in, or do we have to print it out.

Fred, didn't have time to make it interactive. Just print out. BTW, it's a bit of a payback (just kidding) for the several hours I spent/wasted on Zahada. Made level 50 and have managed to stay away from it since.......

Guess best way to submit answers is reply against these numbers?

at times.
Anyway hows the cryptic going.

Howdy outbackerr,
re previous, any chance of confirmation for 30 & 31 across.
not overly confident with 31.
as for the rest, cool.

cheers Mick
Bugger had the right answer for 31 all the time, just couldnt equate
to the clue. was out mowing when Franks name popped into my
head. Am pretty confident with 30a, so now I will consider it done.
Thanks outbackerr, some clever work in there.

Mick, if you're referring to Frank Whittle, you would be right.:2tsup:

Should I put the answers up yet?

madmix
11th January 2009, 10:02 PM
Yep thats the Frank who came to mind, took a while to get out from
under that tonne of bricks.
Id let it run a bit, but will leave it up to you.

Thanks again.
