Yes, Noise. Smash hits are No 1S and add the 'e' from the end of 'magazine' ('magazine's last'). Noise - report.

Giving noise.

Just didn't think of number ones. Thanks.

Loot - it's Tool/jemmy, reversed ('pull back').

Thanks again.

I wondered if it was jemmy!

Rusty, I've no longer got the paper - but I think it was 'jemmy'. However... I've just checked Chambers and 'jimmy' can mean exactly the same thing, so it wouldn't matter. I have learned something new today, always a good thing!

True, Malone!
I did not know that, too!
