Too complicated to explain unless you have the gird in front of you. Thanks anyway!

factor-fiction

Okay, thanks. You did try to explain on your other thread but maybe you now feel the clue doesn't help

Mampara

You certainly are persistent!

When the rest of a (quite hard) crossword is complete but one really is lost on the last few, it can be very frustrating. So yes, I am persistent.

Lavender. It's supposed to last you over the Christmas period. Have you finished it already?

Thank you bibblebub! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

You have more persistence than I and bravo for that , I took one look at the preamble and it joined Kate Mepham's Tel GK at the bottom of the pile.

Nearly finished! For me, a crossword has to be completed within a few hours at most. Over Christmas?? why, my mind would never be at peace!

For anyone without the crossword - you can get the pdf version here http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/2014/dec/20/prize-crossword-no-26448 - each clue consists of 2 parts with the first of those going in the left grid and the 2nd part going in the right grid; but an extra letter has to be added to one of each pair of solutions before entry into the grid.

8a: US sports player, one from HQ, linked with forward daughter under the sheets (7;7)

10a: Queen's make-up showing a pinch of colour - a bit of white included (6;6)

the letter counts are for the solution for left/right grid

8ac left grid is baseman

but what's the queen's make up bit?

crockshard

Bibblebub, I have 8a (right) as 'bounded'.
No idea about 7 (left). 'Bolixed' comes to mind, but only because I have not inserted an X, or a Q!

crockshard

I now have 7a!

crockshard

Which has allowed me to place my missing X.
