C is discharged, you get HARY
Then sickness is AILMENT
ENT = DOCTOR
Abandon doctor, AILM
Now you get the answer HAIL MARY OK
Explain?? What does that mean.
DeletePl see my anno above
DeleteIf you have the (proper) anno, you can post it freely. You don't have to call for an explanation from anyone.
DeleteThanks

ReplyDeletePl give proper anno, how do you get IO, and the roll of moon in this context
DeletePl give proper anno, how do you get IO, and the roll of moon in this context
DeleteIo is a moon of Saturn.
DeleteSorry, Io is a moon of Jupiter not Saturn

ReplyDelete7a def is "of Dorian, say" IMU. Dorian is a mode in music.
ReplyDeleteNot much to do except look to the blog.
ReplyDelete25A- probably Nest from home,which makes 'at' as containment indicator.
ReplyDeleteat home=in nest
DeleteNope. It's stretch. "In" is used for "at home" as a phrase. Any other extension converts at to in, as paddy says.
DeleteTrue, Sathia. Today's CW is much easier. I could get all except modal and Hail Mary. Some of them needed checking of options but by 9 a.m I ended my effort leaving modal and Hail Mary.
ReplyDelete@Col. For 15ac it should be ?N? S?O?
ReplyDeleteThere should be no E in the fourth place.
The enu is only 3,4.
Thanks, corrected
DeleteAnyone other than Sree_Sree can try 15A.
ReplyDeleteIs the Nina-
ReplyDeleteIs this Easy enough for you HM? (can't make what HM at the end means?)
Also, in place of I in this we have S (from Scions)
Incorrect Nina,as per Col.
One.Shot.From Eminem's song Lose yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat's it?
DeleteWhat's the role of 'you might capture it in Anerica'?
One shot is a British film, so Eminem might wonder "if you might capture(shot) in America!! "
Delete"one shot" is a NAM usage to mean "get/achieve it in one try"
DeleteWhichever way you look at it it's 0oor clueing
DeleteTotally agree.
