Some really good ones from Arden - updates, broth, titanic, relent, listened.
ReplyDelete9 Is crippled, but works for people’s welfare (6-8) PUBLIC SPIRITED (IS CRIPPLED BUT)*
Is the anagram fodder missing an I ?
I missed it ..
DeleteThe original clue was: ' One is crippled, but works for people's welfare' . I missed typing 'one' while sending the puzzle. Mistake is entirely mine.
DeleteThanks, Sir
DeleteFor a change, not too taxing, but quite fun! Thank you Arden, for an entertaining puzzle. :)
ReplyDelete8 Heard song held up practice (8) LISTENED (LIED about NETS<)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the link btn 'practice' and 'nets' pl?
Cricket
DeleteIs it? Mind throwing some more light pl?
DeleteWhen one is at the nets, he is at a practice session
DeleteNETS: Net practice in cricket.
DeleteThank you Kishore and Raghu. :)
Delete24A - Hyphen missed in the answer, but made up with high fun in the cartoon...

ReplyDelete25 Sign of nervousness about anti-revolutionary film (7) TITANIC (TIC about ANTI*)
Is 'Revolutionary" an Anagram Ind or Reversal Ind ? I am confused.
I have come across both usages.
DeleteSo it seems to be a flexible one!
DeleteReversal is a subset of anagram too
DeleteSign of nervousness : tic
Deleteabout : cont. ind
anti : Anag. fodder
revolutionary : Angrind
Thanks, Sir
DeleteFurther to Dutch courage, bottle etc., a couple of doubts -
ReplyDelete1. Does intake of alcohol release bottled-up emotions?
2. Does someone who tipples in the open qualify to be called 'public-spirited'?
Just kidding.
You seem to quite upbeat. Did you have one? ;-)
DeletePositive hangover?
DeleteI indulge in it only on part-time basis, occasionally.
DeleteBut the questions have remained unanswered.
I only know that it lifts the spirits and an OD makes the morning dispirited.
DeletePart-time basis, occasionally and full-time basis, regularly??
DeleteGood one, boss!
DeleteLiked the word 'regularly', which is regularly found in crossies.
DeleteThe association of terms or phrases with place names (including countries) is interesting. I think we had discussed this in this forum earlier. Here are some more examples:
DeleteDutch courage Going Dutch Dutch auction
Scarborough fair American football French cricket
French kiss French fries Italian job
Swiss army knife Maltese cross German measles
Delhi belly Siamese Twins Arabian nights
Russian roulette Chinese checkers Singapore sling
Scotch pancake English Breakfast Yorkshire pudding
Venice whirls Irish coffee Turkish delights
Jamaica rum Cheshire cat Irish setter
British bulldog Welsh rabbit Maltese falcon
Be Indian
DeleteIndian ink
Jaipur foot
DeleteBombay blood (might need a revision now)
Stockholm Syndrome
Jodhpurs by itself.
CV - how about Mysore Pak and Maddur Vada?
Madras eye; Patiala peg
DeleteIndia rubber, Tasmanian devil, German shepherd. Dogs have names associated with places
Delete@Richard Maddur vada reminds me of Kishore's clue in Kannada xword :) ( I gave wrong answer for this :P )
DeleteLV, have you tasted Maddur vada anytime?
DeleteIn Tamil Nadu hotels we have
DeleteMysore bonda
Mangalore bonda
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteIn our part of the country, bOnDa, with a longer 'o' syllable is the delicacy, while bonDa with a shorter syllable is tender coconut!
DeleteMaddur Vada recipe for you.
DeleteIsn't Maddur on way to Mysore from Bangalore? I tasted the vada there, while we were going to Kabini wildlife park.
DeleteYour are absolutely right, Raghu. It is in Mandya district.
DeleteI am missing Mangalore's goli baje.
DeleteDrop in sometime. We can go to Car Street (I guess you are familiar with it.)
Delete@Richard Yes ,recently when I visited my cousin's place :) ( My cousin's wife is from Bangalore .So whenever we visit her place , she will prepare these items. )
DeleteThanks for the link . :)
Thanks. Will drop in there sometime. Yes. I am very familiar with old Mangalore, (1966-71,1973-77). Stayed in Surathkal, Hampankatta, car street and Kunjathbail (MCF Colony). Missing Komal's, Woodside hotel etc.
DeleteMy delicacy : BOMBAY TOAST
DeleteMissed a few, but still 'Thank you' Arden for an adorable CW. Missed the deletion in 1A- so well hidden. So I did not have the last laugh!
ReplyDeleteI found LISTENED and ADORABLE were too tough to parse. Thanks to the Blog, I could get them now.
ReplyDeleteI missed one more. REPEAL too was tough.
DeleteR for aRithmetic is fairly common and is often referred to as 3 R's- Reading, wRiting & aRithmetic.
DeleteThanks Paddy, knew the 3 R's alright but couldn't get 'doable' = ''is practical'' in 27 Across clue!
DeleteArden is stranger not being saint!
ReplyDeleteAnother ARDEN special craft, that left me hpovering over a few clues.
ReplyDeleteRichard: Is Medddur vada a variation of Tamil nadu's Medu vada? Why is one variety called Aama Vada? Yes, when asked? Here in Coimbatore, they are huge in size !
Venkatesh: How about Irish stew, Sunday Roast, Dancing Derwish and Dancing Matilda( from Australia)? Turkish towels and delights? Hamburger and Frankfurter? Not to forget Arabian nights?
Bonda in Coorgi means beda? Don't want?
Again, why in Mangalore, Karnataka places are named as Manjal bail and
to continue : Kunjatbail -- What does Bail mean?
ReplyDeleteMany places in coastal Karnataka have suffixes like 'bail' or 'adka' which means a meadow or a grazing ground. (It has an equivalent in Kannada - 'bayalu'.)
DeleteWith a plethora of such names around us here, we can very well imagine how green this region may have been in the days of yore.
As for 'bOnda' in Coorg language, I don't know how you missed an anecdote I mentioned here last month or so. It was specially meant for you and Sapna. I will add the link soon.
Regarding Maddur Vada, it has nothing to do with 'medu vada'. As discussed above, it is named after Maddur, a town between Mysore and Bangalore, from where it originated.
Raju, further to my 1:13 post:
DeleteYou can read the bonda story here: Sunday crossword No 2792, May 25, 2014
Read my post @ 9:08 am.
Of course, I did see that story on 25th May. Thanks. For your information, I know a spattering of Kodagu language because of my late father-in-law and a coorgi colleague called Cariappa. Sapna and I do not speak this language as she had no opportunity to learn, since her Mother was from MP and father from Coorg and she was bred in Bombay and Singapore and later on, we both had moved to Nairobi.At home here, we speak in Hindi and English whereas, both our kids unfortunately do not speak any of the Indian languages, though they follow Hindi well thanks to films and their childhood in Nairobi. Language can be such a bonding factor and hence I have a deep respect for all the iNdian languages. Alas for the Now generation kids , limited to English and maybe French or Spanish ! And to add to the gene-pool confusion, my son has married a Japanese and daughter is married to a boy- a hybrid of Lucknowi father, and a mother who has an American mother and Bellarusian father !! a mini UN in my family !!
DeleteTalking about food (Bonda, Vada etc), reminds me of a joke that goes like this :
ReplyDeleteTwo ladies are in a restaurant. One complains, "You know, the food here is horrible." The other shakes her head and adds, "And such small portions."
Nice cw.11 a- enjoyed the pun&punch therein.3,17d good teasers.18a-able to crack thanks to cw solver.But what is amonth of assertion in the context where no month is given.anno.is not clear. But anyway, a thorough entertainer.Thank you Arden.
