Just a quick peek in on my way out. HOW VERY ANNOYING! I was finishing this p[ost when I brushed acroff the Ford Advt and up it came. I could not close it and had to close all tabs, then having to write this all over.

Hi there Rossim, Andyc, Ixion (Yep! 8,5), and Bullfrog. Nicely done!

Tony

Thank you so much for your kind remarks and seasonal wishes. I, also, wish you and yours the compliments of the season. Happy Christmas and a lovely New Year

... and hi to you Ros. I wuz tied up with the advt when you posted. Off now to the"big smoke" lol

... also Ros, I trust that's not an offer!!!

Just returned from shopping.
Only solved #2 which I spotted right away. xXx
Off to eat. Back later

Aaahh! I think I've got the parsing of the first word in the bonus. Still working on Number 3, though.

I haven't even read the clues yet (just the other posts) but hope to get to them (guests are arriving the day after tomorrow and we're in panic mode). Re all the ads: I'm in the midst of booking places to stay during a hiking trip in Utah, and whenever I go onto this site I'm bombarded with ads for hotels and B&Bs there...hm, some pretty good deals...

Well I am hurt Jolan ;-))
DON'T PANIC Mr A! It will sort itself, remember Bernard Levin's advice. Nothing matters very much and most things don't matter at all.

Could you give me his number, Rosalind? I'd like to give him a call.
Taking a break. I see the first four. I wonder if there are any Britishisms this week...

Got them all but not 100% certain on the Bonus clue..cant figure out the parsing

I got the bonus right off, unfortunately. You ought to be grateful that you didn't get the parsing, chrisg. :) Just missing the fifth one...
