Hi all,

great crossword so far, but got three clues outstanding in the top left. Can someone please give me a hint (rather than the answer) to 10a?

Dire doctor attending each day - not quite satisfied (8)

10a definition "Dire", parses as 2, 2, 1, 3

Thanks Geeker. All done now. I was hampered by misspelling 1a, which meant I couldn't get 3 or 4 down - I thought it didn't look right, but took me till now to realise why!

Help with 8 down please.

8D Rather slim hotel boozer in shit, sadly (8)


Is it thinnish or thinnest? And why?

Shit sadly = anagram the word
H - hotel
Inn - boozer
Th inn i s h, rather slim.

Thanks for that Malone!

No faith in diplomat (he is Mandelson) (7)

Is it ATHEIST or ATHEISM, and why?

Contained

1234matt, glad i could help with Thinnish.

PS You should have been able to spot Atheism, the magazine always has a few of those clues (hidden - well, slightly!)
