One to go in today`s Grauniad prize puzzle: "Is it played by Paul & me perhaps, suppressing a little giggle on the road?"

(4, 4) (*I*D *A*E) Any ideas?

It's an anagram of "andme" on mi for road, and suppressing g - a little giggle

A little bit of background about this puzzle.

Biggles is a collaboration between four setters, all named John - John Graham (Araucaria), John Henderson (Enigmatist), John Young (Shed) and John Halpern (Paul). WE Johns was the author of the Biggles books!

This particular puzzle has been set by the first three as a tribute to the fourth, who is getting married to Taline on Sunday 31st July.

John (under his alias of Paul) and Taline are both mentioned in the clues.
