ReplyDeleteAfter TEA POT yesterday and TEA CUP today, expecting SAUCER tomorrow.
21 D - worst clue today.
ReplyDeleteCan 25D also be LEAD?
ReplyDeleteGita @ 09.35 if the parsing of 1A is what it seems to be, it will take that honour.
ReplyDeleteBhavan : Agree. I seed him before he runned away !
ReplyDeleteI also saw it as ins. of THE in SEE'D (an ungrammatical 'took in'), with c/c ind missing.
ReplyDeleteFOR UNKNOWN:
ReplyDeleteNAVAL: A van in reverse and the L stands for Learner. Answers for FLEET.
My immediate instinct was to think of a CAR for a vehicle, and the mind always falls for such a decoy!!
NOTA BENE:
Why do you remain UNKNOWN? This blog is a very friendly FAMILY of Hindu crossword solvers. So why remain anonymous and get wrapped in an enigma ?
22 - Davy Crockett's last stand was not entirely fashionable (5) - ALAMO Anno pending
ReplyDeleteFrom à la mo(-de )
a la mode (adv & adj) : according to the fashion, fashionable
Sorry folks: I had omitted to mention that my comments relate to yesterday's crossword. I always post my comments the next day.
ReplyDeleteRU 11:47 Agree with you.
ReplyDeleteWinston Churchill had said in a radio broadcast in October 1939: "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."
Only someone like Churchill alone could have said that.
Did we discuss this Churchill's quote in this forum a few days back?
ReplyDelete8D-
ReplyDeleteWhat is the connection between Miss.Annabel & 'ele'?
Yesterday clue repeating! - 11 A
ReplyDeletePadmanabhan From Miss Annabel Lee, I presume. I believe this is the title of a song, which I haven't heard, like several others.
ReplyDeleteYes Suresh. Googled it and found it is a Bing Crosby song. But still it seems to be an anagram of 'lee'. Like you said yeaterday, we have to 'mannage' the anagram !
ReplyDeleteWhere does JO come from in 24A?
ReplyDelete@Navneeth: Jo is one of the characters in the novel LITTLE WOMEN.
ReplyDeleteAfter TEA POT yesterday and TEA CUP today, expecting SAUCER tomorrow.
ReplyDelete@kishore 09:35
hopefully this is not the scene at home...one vessel after the other..:-)
SandhyaP@20:46,
ReplyDeleteIn that case, is 24A just a very bad example of an (semi?) &lit? I mean, Little woman for JO and Little woman, the definition, for JOANNA, both referring to the same character? *confused*
