Hi, Rusty!
I am still puzzling over Malone's clue...................even your mention of 'heist' hasn't helped me - sounds like 'iced' maybe without the 'h'?
I shall have to give it further thought......
Yes, there are four judges in "The Voice"- I told you that one of the attractions for me was the great rapport between the judges!
These have varied a little since the start of the show, but Will.i.am (founder of the Black Eyed Peas) has been one of the judges since the beginning.
The other three current judges are Paloma Faith ( I had never heard of her) Ricky Wilson (lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs) and Boy George.
I wonder if your local paper is going with Andy as Scotland's lead sportsman because of his Wimbledon reputation?
I agree with you tho' that Chris Hoy deserves that accolade.
PLEASE don't tell me who wins the tennis! I won't be able to watch the match until this evening! (I'm gunning for Novak though!)



Hello, Malone!
I am (hopefully only temporarily) stumped over your crossword clue!

I used to like Terry's "misnames". We still refer to the "Thelwell Fire Duck" - the M6 crossing of the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey.

we loved his morning radio show and his hilarious Janet and John stories. We actually bought a tape of some of them.

Morning everyone,

I do remember Terry Wogan - We too used to have the radio on for his morning show, and I recall seeing him on TV too, though I don't quite remember the shows, apart from his commenting the European Song Contest. 77 is quite young really.

Malone, I have no idea about your clue, but I shall think a bit more !

Hello, Elle,
A great shame about Terry. Think everyone liked him.
Now, would or would not a person from Bow say "heist"?
How would they pronounce it?
The skiing has been abandoned. Bad weather.
Last I looked in, the girls were making snowmen! A proper sport!
It is a fine calm day here after the "weather", long may it last!

Hi, Rusty!
I simply cannot get beyond "iced" (sounds like 'eist?).
I shall reflect on it during the day!
That is a shame about the skiing being cancelled - especially as you are confined to barracks today.
Are you watching the tennis instead?
We are off out soon - should be back about five or six o'clock.
Catch up with you later..... have a good day....hope your cold soon improves!
Raining here!

Elle, I think you might be overthinking the Bow clue. It's just that someone from there would (allegedly) say " 'eist " rather than 'heist'. Like Rusty, I don't think this would be happening!

Elle, stick with " 'eist ".
I was doing "prep" work in two rooms in anticipation of the painter arriving in a few weeks.
Mainly dumping stuff, especially drawing pins!
I am not so fond of tennis, especially the "second serve".
And I watched some tributes to Terry Wogan.
My cold is still here.
And remember, you have Malone's clue to solve!

Well, thanks to 'eist' and Anne Bradsford , I have a word that I think is correct - Not too sure I understand the (h)eist bit though.
