Sorry I called you 'mark' . I like this site. I am amazed there a lots of solvers quite happy to give an answer without any reason. I don't like to put an answer in until I know the warped mind of the compiler....

I too have a very keen interest in this and have seen it answered a couple of times today with no parse - intrigued.


Do clues 2 or 5 play any part??

[scorpiojo]

..or do any clues/answers have the word Ling in them?

[mensamoo8]

Ah Mamyalynne Thank you. I thought it was only me that was going stupid......

[scorpiojo]

Please excuse,

I didn't understand these, either, if anyone can help..
