27 - Good Shepherd finds time to take out French man with holy oil (6) -
CHRIS(-m)(+T)
With Christ, Church and Tabernacle that could be one theme.
Also Wellington and Christchurch could form another theme.
Colonel, sorry about flooding the comments and the duplicate answers.
ReplyDeleteBhavan,
ReplyDeleteNo problem
Meant to take out the ones that you already posted, but forgot while copy + paste.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Church theme:
ReplyDeleteApart from the answers:
CHURCH TABERNACLE CHRIST
we have the following in the clues:
place of worship, holy oil, Disrobes (unfrocks?),Cain
I think 27 A would be CHRIST not CHRISM with timde taking out French man in the holy oil.
ReplyDeleteWith no deadlines I was unable to complete the crossword, with so many words I haven't heard.
ReplyDeleteSuresh, 1017, that is what I said at 841
ReplyDeleteBut I allow that it can be parsed both ways:
ReplyDelete27 Good Shepherd finds time to take out CHRIST-T
French man with +M
holy oil (6) CHRISM
OR
27 Good Shepherd =def=CHRIST
finds time +T
to take out French man -M
with holy oil (6) CHRISM
However, on Deep-er thought, I go with Deep-ak and think the former parsing is correct and the answer is CHRISM , not Christ.
Neyartha can possibly confirm.
How is cheer of approval becomes RAH?
ReplyDeleteCrossing is not tallying with 10 Ac. and 7 Dn.
Muthaiah,
ReplyDeleteRAH is short for Hurrah. See RAH
There was a typo in my 10A though the Anno was shown correctly, that's why you found the crossings with 7D not matching, I have since corrcetd it.
Such long-winded clues! If I didn't know any better, I might have mistaken one 'N' setter for another.
ReplyDeleteEasy enough to hunt up obscure words and put them in a puzzle. Not so easy to take common words/expressions and come up with creative and interesting clues that keep the solver engaged. But let's see the rest of the run!
ReplyDeleteToday's CW exposes how poor my english is!!. Have all of you enjoyed today's fare?
ReplyDeleteHave been struggling with this arcane and not cryptic crossword. No-arth,nahiaatha!!
ReplyDeleteIntend keeping awake until I (don't) get to crack it.
If I fail---- neit.
