NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!
Years ago when I had lots of spare time, more brain-power, etc I devised simple puzzles known “affectionally” as Theas Thingies. They were absolutely original but involved clues and problems.
To celebrate my BIG BIRTHDAY yesterday I humbly offer this soupcon of mayhem.
The answers to be found are all well known phrases or maybe not so well known phrases or maybe parts of the same
– either one or the other!! Well give it a go.
1. Creation with lovely lamps (3,6,6,3,9)
2. Look over there in America (1,3,3,3,3)
3. Colourful aspect to the Wars of the Roses (7,2,4,4,6,2,4)

10. Snuff on puffer (6,2,3,6,7)
