Last one.
9ac) Star monster seen around a Titan (6)
I have ?R?N?S, and presume it’s URANUS, as in Titan, and there’s an A, but where’s the monster?
Sigh.......
Could some kind person just help bycompleting the parsing of my final solution: 13d) Dance with first son, circling Bill Burns and Scott? (10) I have ?A?L?D?S?S, and presume it's BALLADISTS - BALL...
Need help parsing this last one, please:
6d) Verse form upsets one with a rhotacism (5)
I have R?B?I, so it has to be RABBI: I can't see the "verse form", though.
Grrrrr......
Need to stop staring at this last one: 4d) Italian's farewell to Roman princess noted for beauty includes diamonds (5) I have A?D?O, and it seems like ADDEO as in It. goodbye + D for diamonds, but...
OK: anyone else doing/done NS 477? I seem somehow to have completed 3/4 of it without having even the foggiest idea of its theme. I have been staring at the obstinate bottom right-hand corner for...
Has become one of my favourites, and this one's a cracker. I have been stymied for several days on two last intersecting clues: 15d) Flap greeting overwhelming rule of descent (9) I have A???T?I?E and...
Groan. Have just realised I'm also flummoxed by
17d) Woman of Troy? It's always Gill or Dale. (8)
I have ?E?R?E?E, and assume it's EVER????.
Help, please!...
Hey-ho: it's that "last one & I am bamboozled again" time. 10ac) Poet and clergyman Thomas is a standard Dickens character (7) I have ? (or maybe E, if it's DIRT for the Fat Owl of The Remove)?R?E?L....
Groan! All done, except this:
3d) Car fitted with a TV? Male habit (6).
I have C?A?A?, and can't see past CHADAR, but I can't fully parse it.
Grrrrr.
Au secours, mes braves, SVP....
Grrr. It's that time again. Sailed through the rest, and have come to the usual grinding halt with this one last clue which has me utterly stumped. 8down) Beauty's budding offspring (5) I have L?N?Y...
Last one, as always, perplexing me: 19d) One European writer of a number not fully supporting 'Leave'. (7) I have ?O?T?E, and presume it's GOETHE, with GO = Leave, but as to the rest? An anagram of...
Another very slightly odd one this week, I thought. Or rather, think, as I still can't parse 13ac) Final half of bowling, champ's losing heart a lot (4,4) I have ?E?Y,?U?H, and it looks like being...
Done, but just really still niggled by 1ac) Cubist I wounded at fight where Florentine’s to be found? (7,3) It’s BISCUIT (anag) and, I suppose, ROW (fight), and a florentine is indeed a bikky, but...
Could some really kind person out thereplease just put me out of my misery by parsing 7d) Nothing in Franzen's volume is idle (6) I have L?I?E? and it has to be LOITER as in the verb, idle, and O is...
Good grief, but this one has been thorny! I am now reluctantly prepared to concede defeat with 10ac) Senator and heretic in some classical verse (8) for which I seem to have ?E?A?I?E? I can only see...
