I'm not working towards a degree at Trinity, so I get more time to proof my puzzles!<br /><br />Re MORSE CODE<br />Frankly, I jumped all over this clue, even though I liked it a lot. In my sailing days way back when, I was the designated "guy on the radio" so I know Morse Code. A great clue.<br /><br />Re MARRIAGE<br />Yes, that was a lovely, tongue-in-cheek anagram. Well spotted! If you ever get the chance to check it out, I did <a href="http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/publish/Willam.Ernest.Butler/WEB%20Crosswords/WEB%20009%20-%207%20Jun%2009.pdf" rel="nofollow">a WEB Crossword back in June</a> that has a couple of "themed" anagrams that I know you would appreciate. Take a look at 10A and 23A.<br /><br />Yes, I hope you get the chance to post the odd puzzle, because I do enjoy them!Bill Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988633817839528771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656225404234905089.post-65356742988635511652009-10-09T18:28:01.705+01:002009-10-09T18:28:01.705+01:00Hi Bill,

I think it is because I knew the clues so well that I ignored when it said "2 across". I took the wording for granted. I am glad it didn't diturb the puzzle too much, but still very clumsy on my behalf. It is rectified now in the PDF. <br /><br />Re MORSE CODE: Abstract but it worked. Did it take you a while to get that or was it an instant solving?<br /><br />Marriage was my favourite. As the anagram has meaning to it lol well in some cases it does!<br /><br />Will keep them coming but at a much slower rate so, as you say, not to disturb the 'aul studies.<br /><br />Thanks Bill.Mark Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464236323690444756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656225404234905089.post-85800146104186574722009-10-08T23:37:55.023+01:002009-10-08T23:37:55.023+01:00Hi Mark,

I missed ROW because I was silly enough to spell SPOOR as SPORE (I was thrown by the "so I heard"). I missed ISK (Lookup of the Day) and KEELS (even though I had K-E-S). And I am kicking myself for missing AUG!<br /><br />Notes I made along the way:<br /><br />TIS: runner up for Lookup of the Day.<br />MORSE CODE: nice!<br />KELVINS: and there is the anticipated "physiclue".<br />GUM UP: Clue of the Day!<br />SKEDADDLE: I think there is a typo in the clue i.e. fight --> flight<br />MARRIAGE: not sure if you meant "2 across" in the clue, or maybe "2 down"?<br />STROLLS: a lucky guess, because I think 15 across is another typo!<br />PRAY: Cool use of wee-p!<br /><br />Keep 'em coming, Mark ... but not at the expense of your studies!!! :o)Bill Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988633817839528771noreply@blogger.com
