The Week 1322

[TioMateo]

11 Ac :- Dud? Roger almost! (5) M?O?E. Why is it MOORE? 25Ac :- Animal sound coming from low church (5) M?O?H. It looks like MOO (low) + CH (church) = MOOCH, but why is MOOCH an "Animal sound"? CotW :- Kit between two poles, when temperature drops (4) ???? (Originally from The independent, Quince).

11a Dud? Roger (yes) almost Dudley (Moore)

[haras2]

SNOW ?

[Captain2]

S-ki(t)-S

[TioMateo]

Thank you geeveo41 & Captain2, but how about MOOCH?

[cashier]

Moo is animal sound
Ch low church

[Captain2]

But where's the definition, Cash? Unless there is an obscure definition for 'mooch' meaning an animal sound?

(Doesn't the 'moo' come from 'low'?)

[Captain2]

.... sorry Cash, didn't read all of your parsing.

[TioMateo]

Thanks, Cashier, but your parsing doesn't provide a definition for the answer MOOCH. My reading of it was low = MOO and church = CH giving MOOCH as the answer, but that means "Animal sound" is the definition and I can't see how or why MOOCH means Animal sound.

[Neveracrossword]

I feel as if definitions are missing! Kiss works,with Captain's parsing, but it's like Mooch, I can't see the definition.

[Captain2]

I think the CoTW is an &Lit clue.

[klazomaniac]

I think captain has it.
Although 'kit's is doing double duty which is a no,no.

Kit for when the temperature drops = ski's

Don't forget, it mentions between two poles.

S ki(t) S

Or it is possibly a poor &lit clue.

As for the others.
I can't see any definitions.

Very poor clues by Quince, unless I can't see his brilliance!

[Neveracrossword]

Oh, thanks for that, Captain2. I didn't know why the CotW was the CotW, what was involved, anything really - I've seen only a few clues on AB!

[klazomaniac]

Meant to add. The ski's would be between two (ski) poles as you are skiing
