    Failed to get C "ke peeche kya hai" followed by others like SOAP OPERA TEA BREAK. Rest all fell in place smoothly. Overall an enjoyable one from Sunnet.

      Mine wasn't a doubt. I was indicating NO is from the exclamation mark

      Thank you Sir. Never knew '!' means 'no'.

      Is it a stretch or it is accepted? I think this is the first time I am coming across this. Maybe I have forgotten?

      ! is the symbol for 'not' in logic

      Perhaps I shoud have got Nick to send the first two to Chennai or Chicago instead of China.

    YESTERDAY
    ==========

    Yesterday we sat in front of the IDIOT BOX for some entertainment without having to buy a TICKET.
    My wife wished to watch her SOAP OPERA. I on my part wanted the NEWS channel and maybe catch a glimpse of the ENRAGING flood LIVE.

    Rains having compelled my grandson turn COUCH POTATO, yelled for his CARTOON channel. But the TROUBLE was that when we switched on
    the TV a message said "No Signal". Try after the weather improves.

    So we had a TEA BREAK sans BOILED EGG IN A BIG WAY!!

    Have I nudged CGB into action- if so I am happy.
    I put 'nous' in stead of 'news'. Am I eligible for a bite of samosa?
    Good show Sunnet!

    got to the xword very late today - happy karthigai to all... missed samosa by a whisker.. very small mistake :( found the going a bit unusual - the ! for no was new :) apace for quickly, Tup for Ram, person for fish, jump for lofted shot... unusual but interesting. Thanks Sunnet for some different thinking...
