[Psybbo]

is pulling up no good?
Pulling up giving a ticking off
and stopping

[Flyhalf]

Sorry, thought you had accepted pulling up.
To pull up means both to stop (a horse) and to rebuke or tick off.

[emmie]

23a not pulling up, but picking up
so one to go.

[Psybbo]

Which one?

[emmie]

sorry totally confused you all.
this is a long c/w and doesn't always make sense.
