Big smiles....nice one...

Hi jazzgirl
RT was a 15 minute effort today - a bit disappointing, really. I'll join in if anyone else starts the thread to comment or ask for help.

Got 2 answers today. First time ever!

Good start Mary6....sometimes I had a big fat zilch.

Think I might have another one. Oh well, the ironing can wait.

1- HARD-CORE
2- EVER AFTER
3- SHOOTING GALLERY
4- DANDIE DINMONT
5- THE NAME OF THE GAME

Let's see if I can get in first!
1 HARD CORE
2 EVER AFTER
3 SHOOTING GALLERY
4 DANDIE DINMONT
5(not quite so sure of this one) THE NAME OF THE GAME

Thanks for the fun jolan, but
I have only four to offer:
1. Hard core
2. Ever after
3. Shooting gallery
5. The name of the game

1) HARD-CORE - Exceedingly blue...Material used in motorway construction.

2) EVER AFTER - In perpetuity ...EVE (the second person) RAFTER (beam)

3) SHOOTING GALLERY - 'Crack house, for Users ..Anag (outrageously)ARTY ENGLISH LOGO

4) DANDIE DINMONT - Breed of dog (hound) ..Hidden in clue (belonging) DAN DIED IN MONT(enegro)

5) THE NAME OF THE GAME - Thing that's most important ...American football perhaps?

1. Exceedingly blue material used in motorway construction? (4-4)- Hard core? Double definition “hard core” is “exceedingly blue” and used in construction.

2. The second person to beam in perpetuity (4,5) Ever after? – “Eve” is the second person and a “rafter “ is a beam, thus eve rafter – in perpetuity.

3. May be exploited by users of outrageously arty English logo (8,7) Shooting Gallery? (Exploited by drug users to shoot up drugs. Anagram of “arty English logo”).

4. Hound belonging to Fancy Dan, died in Montenegro (6,7)- Dandie Dinmont? (Dog, In clue)

5. Perhaps American football’s the thing that’s most important? (3,4,2,3,4) The name of the game? (Double definition – American football is “the name of the game” and the expression means “the thing that’s most important”)
