Hi-NDI
ReplyDeleteI am sure even a CYNIC would have BLIND TRUST in this setter’s work as I can GLEAN from comments ADJOINing mine nowadays while they have MAJOR ISSUEs with some others. Can anyone use their C-LOUT(-s) to get things to improve u-know-who and SPUR her on beyond the PLATEAU she has acheived? I know all this is OLD HAT,
CENOTAPHS reminded of a road in Chennai. UNHOOKS brought to mind CV’s dress code exhortation- No zips. The Croc cartoon on Metro Plus brought HAIRLOOMS(~) to mind. Liked EPIC-entre, A-DJ-O-IN..
RIGHTO then, Cheerio.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDelete1) Can some one explain the anno for Provost 22D? Didn't understand how pro and st are got.
2) Why is about represented by C in 1A?
3) Why is Girl represented by flo in 5D?
Liked the major issue & provost (though the word was new to me)-Kishore has a different kind of major issue!! "Sere" made me delve into the dictionary.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this old city? Is "ur" the only abbreviation or anything else? I always get stuck in old city.
Benkiman
ReplyDeleteCollege chief = Definition = {PRO}{VO}{ST}
for = PRO
village officer = VO
by the
way = STREET = ST
In 1A
about = circa = C
Flo short for Florence is the name of a girl
Padmnabhan,
ReplyDeleteUR is the name of an old city see UR it appears frequently in CW's
Just for info of newcomers to the blog, the words which are underlined in the main post, point to a link connected to the word. This I do for eductional purposes, especially for words which are not commonplace (from my perspective).
ReplyDeleteCol./ Kishore-a belated request! Metroplus coverage of our Bangalore meet was published only in the Bangalore edition. I am not able to view it since I do not know the exact date.Can you please post the link?
ReplyDeletePadmanabhan,
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the panel on the left hand side you will see a link to THCC families under 'LINKS, go to that page and you will find the link to the article plus posts regarding the previous S&B meet as also other photographs of other followers of my blog.
Thank you for your prompt clarification,Col.
ReplyDeleteSo many anagrams today. How are you guys remembering plant names? :)Got spur from crossings.
ReplyDeleteColonel, Gridman was perhaps referring to this 1986 French blockbuster from Canada in 16A.
ReplyDeleteNavneethm@ 14:56,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't see any connection?
The movie is also known as "Blind Thrust." Perhaps it's the English title
ReplyDeleteTypo.... Thrust = Trust
ReplyDeleteOops. Sorry about that. As VJ has noted, it's AKA Blind Trust -- it showed up along with the TV film when I searched for the English title.
ReplyDeleteThe appropriate link.
