22a tobias


23d blank

2d is CAGOT = CA (Circa) + GOT (IT)
19d is ERL_KING = anag of LINK inside ERG (work)
1a id ACTS THE GOAT = EGO inside THAT
24a is IDOLATER = I DO LATER! (nice one)

08012006 18a Can you now fill in any of the letters?

Dear crofter


Thanks for answers, which have enabled me to finish


18a telepathy


16d beetroot


8 Jan this year was significant for me hence 08/01/2006

May I call you 0801 ... (a la Noel C),


18a was really quite clever and I had completely overlooked 16d!


I hope that 8 Jan was a truly memorable day!

can you change your tag name to Jan806 to help us all? We're none of us going to forget you now as we are quite a friendly bunch and, as you can see, there are a couple of wags around! (down boys!) Hope you have lots more good days.
