6. weever - a fish

I like helena's pied wagtail. But you might consider - skye terrier. the motif on a bottle of Black and White whisky. one black one and one white one.both probably pissed and therefore happy.

I would have gone with Barracuda for Number 1.

and Plaice for the last one ( Song There's a place for us)

Mazie,

Yes, plaice looks great. but I don't think barracuda works. for a start they are no more voracious than lots of other fish. and there is no word play. wolfhound fits the clue hungry/eats quickly + a fish = wolfhound.

Hi terry,

Thank you for the endorsement of plaice. I've just looked at the clue again and I could be wrong but all I see is

Voracious fish (9)

I may have missed something, it's my birthday and a surfeit of red wine doesn't help (hic) x
