Happy birthday Mondrian. I`m not celebrating until tomorrow - lunch at Jamie Oliver`s parents` pub. How about you/ Mags

I've been there, mags (with friends who lived in Brent Pelham at the time). I won't name it, because I don't want a flash-mob turning up at your party.

P.S. it was a long time ago, so we may well have been served by a juvenile Jamie!

Hi,
Can I have hints please for 24A? I don't get this clue.

hi Bees
definition : an awfully thin person.
s = second ; c = century
newspaper + rag

Is it the initial letters of second century plus a slang term for a newspaper = a thin neck?

Thanks Jazzgirl, again! It just occured to me as you were answering.

Happy Birthday, Mondrian. I hope you have a fine day. By the way, I saw a bit of a programme about your namesake on one of the Sky Arts channels the other day. Very interesting.

Best wishes.

Hope you do not mind me interrupting your thread.
I have posted here in the hope that you would like to join a thread called Clue Chain on Monday afternoons starting usually about 1 o' clock.

We are a jolly, friendly few who play and we would very much like others to join in. The game is played for fun -- so please do not be deterred by thinking ' I cannot set clues'. Pop in and say hi, or just watch the game to start with to get an idea of what it is all about. So, all in all, great fun, challenging (not that challenging when I am the setter) and a good supportive learning experience. Please join -- everyone is most welcome.

Happy Birthday, Mondrian! Was your meal good? I had no idea the place is easily reachable from where I was last June! Please report! The son's books are very popular in Germany, maybe a little less in France , but we still occasionally see TV programmes with him on German TV here in France.And what's the exact address of the place for the future? (unpaid advertising allowed here just this once, I hope)
