number etc.....narcotic.

ordeal?

Hi Terry; you ok? Please explain narcotic! PS did you like my Italian joke (thread, answer to wendy in an earlier thread)

regards

Paul

Thanks, terry as was. I've just got NARCOTIC!

Ordeal... brilliant. I had thought for a long time that it was SETTLE but it didn't feel exactly right.

I've finished!

Here's one that I got but never figured out the clue:

Circulating newspapers, fiddle or double calculation figures (5,8).

I just guessed it from the references to circulation and double...figures.

Hello Paul,
Nepalese peak (highest point) = N + arctic (freezing) with O (oxygen in it).

Your joke made me smile. Perhaps you should stick jokes on Celadon's long Poser of the day thread. That way it will live forever.

I suppose you're just marking time now until the big day. Hope it all goes well for you.

Thanks Terry. Actually someone has posted a reply just now and clearly was not amused!

Paul,
Just ignore tossers like that who make up a new name just to say something like that.

Sorry, terry as was. I forgot to post the solution to that one about circulation.

It was BLOOD PRESSURE

Sammy,
Press(newspapers) with an anagram of "double or" circulating around it = caculation figures (130 over 90 e.g. which is how blood pressure is given).

Hi sammy, just got back in

Press = newspapers
anagram of 'or double' around it
