Think thats it. vwd squares and others. Cheers aspro. Swear they're getting more obscure!!

Indeed they are, but you done well with a few real tough clues in there

anyone have anything lined up for today?  I have about a dozen bands and artists left over from previous effots but no clues as of yet, mainly 90s too.  I could get a list of at least 15 and perhaps post them up 2.30-3.00ish if anyone is interested.

OK, I had better put some effort in.

Hi squares, like Desmond I can dip in and out (also working at home at the mo). Also have a nearly-finished list of film cryptics I can post either tomorrow or Saturday.
