Looking for a synonym for "vein" for the times xword at lunchtime. "We came up with seam and lode". Or "semen load", as my colleague heard it. How we laughed.

Des Leppilen (darraghmac), Saturday, 17 October 2009 16:04 (fourteen years ago) link

ah that's not bad. 'thumbs up' bit is good!

surfing on hokusine waves (ledge), Saturday, 17 October 2009 17:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Don't get it

so hongro so aggro (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 17 October 2009 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link

mot = tom (thumb) up the other way. I think. Rest of it, not so much.

ailsa, Saturday, 17 October 2009 17:45 (fourteen years ago) link

eh there's nothing in the rest of it, tbh. maybe it's a crosaire thing (my usual cryptic fix), but pretty often the 'whole' answer isn't spelled out. again, as always, any fault is in the abilities of the setter and not those poor souls struggling to decipher.

Bondage wrapping hillock causing outburst (5)
Holy men without ham inside (7)

When Baron Saturday Comes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 03:25 (fourteen years ago) link

First one is storm.

Second looks a really good clue as it can be parsed in several ways (except none of them are leading me to an answer)

ailsa, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 08:12 (fourteen years ago) link

Ailsa OTM. That was tricky to parse. Plus totally cunning + fair double-bluff of 'ham' being 'ham', as its 'shamans'.

woofwoofwoof, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 10:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh, very nice indeed When Baron, that second one is grand.

krakow, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 10:46 (fourteen years ago) link

o ffs how did i not get shamans after looking at 'sans ham' for ten minutes.

Thanks everybody. This morning I started worrying that maybe the plural of 'shaman' was actually 'shamen.'
