Your ST3 should be LT3
ReplyDeleteI see you still haven't changed ST3. You did not try the couple I posted yesterday. That was sneaky of you to use GOLD yesterday, but serves me right for not reading your preamble. Back to today. I did get them all.
ReplyDeleteLAT1: Somewhere between a DD and a charade. Now come on old boy, stiff upper lip and all that!
LAT2: Sounds like he borrowed a lot ON a Greek vase and stuff (3)
might have been a better clue. About 5 Drachmas a week. No, that was the old joke reply to "What's a Grecian urn?" Thank you, Mr. Keats.
LAT3: ANAG. "Best clamdiggers lost it and turned to pureed caviar"
"Embraces gold rugs without our newly pureed caviar"
ST1: DD. Interesting. You hear about the "Dry" variety all the time, but the other one is just "a battery".
ST2: CR. Is that a rock in your pocket, or do you just seem pleased to hear me?

NC, welcome back! You have been missed! Your clues yesterday came after the last time I looked at the page, so didn't see them until now. Have replied in yesterday's thread.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I got the clues today out of order? Anyway, I left it since otherwise your comments wouldn't have made sense. Did you see my closing comment way back on 10/25?
