Delete30ac..CASHCROP...DD..money plant and Mint
ReplyDeleteEnu is 8 or 4,4!
DeleteTH to blame?
DeleteToday Incognito made my day. After a very long time, feeling elated. May more and more grids from Incognito be present,,,
ReplyDeleteSearching for the name of state/district till the real meaning of county sunk in.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable as ever.
7d do we need both process and compund for anind!
ReplyDeleteMy take-
Delete(Natural gas) compounded and sugar (process for letter picking) is deleted.
I reasoned since it's incognito:
DeleteProcess:anind
Compound: to indicate the two seprate words are used.
Without: deletion of (sugar).
Remember the agitated man discussion.
30A.. CASHCROP money+plant
ReplyDeleteONCE AGAIN the NEW YORKER, a BANKER with LONG HAIR LOSES his balance.
ReplyDeleteHe has received a proposal from CLEOPATRA, a woman with no PARALLEL.
He is ALL AT SEA as the woman turns out to be of middle age, an ordinary person from NATAL and not what he imagined.
Bhargav
I am sure he lost his bank balance too!
DeleteThe OLDMAN got the COUNTY wrong and the NEWER AFRIKANER HOODWINKS him. He needs a REMAP of his EARNS and SALVAGES. Thank God they are per ANNUM and not like the LOSES of CASHCROPs these days.
DeleteEt tu, Prasad? Or should I say nehle pe dehla!
DeleteSo, CGB sets off a chain reaction!
DeleteHe sure does
