The SLB won was a lot like no11 Get Odds = GT. surprised it took so long tbh. The last two are quite tricky I think. |

Hello coachy.. was just thinking of putting you up for Q9. Very tenuous but:
Confound... Catch Buster/ (Edwards) :_| |

By:

The clue needs to be split into two bits |

Got that bit pos.. thinking od tory, blue for et etc.. but still not making much progress! :(

not tory paddy. "con" often means something else in DT crossword. Tell me to shut up if you don't want clues.
|
|
By:
No we need all the clues you can give us!! :)

By:
you're doing alright collectively - 28 out of 30. And these are the hardest two. One very well known forumite and one just well known.
In DT, they often give you what "con" means (in this clue) and then you enter "con". don't know if that makes sense. basically the clue and answer or normally the other way round to the way i have it this time. |

Ken Masters was, as I said before, well on track with no. 30.

q30 - they don't so much need putting together, it was just two ways of looking at the same thing.

i'm happy to explain any if you wish dk. as i said before, it doesn't matter how smart (or stupid) you are, cryptic crosswords are nigh on impossible if you don't know the rules, and it is nigh on impossible to learn the rules without anyone telling you. I was lucky enough to have a mother who does cryptics and taught me many of these (admittedly v. daft on a number of occasions) rules. Could maybe get one or two right when i first started DT crossword about 13 years ago. Now I finish it about 50 percent of the time.

Numbers 1,3,4,5,8,9,11,12,14,18,19,23,25,26 and 29 are ones I can't decipher, even knowing who the forumite is. Poor I know. I dare say if I got
into cryptic clues I'd slowly become better. Could you explain just three of those numbers? Would be grateful. Thanks rob :) |

123 or 222? hmmm

Ah.
Some great clues there. I'd disagree though, that there are rules...I think there's really just one...it has to make sense. |
