Time for some breaking news (clues) for the phrases


Chocolate: a light fluffy pudding or an elk.
Cucumber: you often cut corners to make this, and the edges as well.
Ground: Tarzan author had this for his middle course.
Parsley: A wise herb.
Cup: In my day, a bun

Cottage pie is right, but not sty.

Chocolate: a light fluffy pudding or an elk
chocolate mousse. Er, use? If so, it's a specifically North-of-Derby construction. Where I come from it'd be 'am' rather then 'have'. So I'm not convinced I've got the rhyme right.

Cucumber: you often cut corners to make this, and the edges as well.
cucumber sandwich - langwidge.


Ground: Tarzan author had this for his middle course.
Rice? So, nice? I'da got this a lot quicker if a) I'd ever heard of ground rice and b) I hadn't convinced myself that Tarzan was written by H. Rider Haggard.


Parsley: A wise herb.
parsley and sage - age


Cup: In my day, a bun.
Cupcake - fake.

Cottage pie is right, but not sty.
If it weren't for that 'in' I'd say it was lie.

Best laugh all week!

Just to let you know I sweated and cogitated about that inapropriate "in" but left it there anyway, for the sake of the cottage imagery.

Didn't you have school dinners? Ground rice pudding with a blob of something jam-like in the middle.

Otherwise, you're half way there with "use." and threequarters there with "age."

Typo - meant 'page'

[MarkBastable]

Oh - excuse.

Not sure about No 8?

[MarkBastable]

Brilliant.

But 8 is not the one I had in mind. In fact, I'd argue that 'awhile' is one word. It's debatable, admittedly.

I thought 5 would be the easiest of the lot.

5. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

10. All Music & No Talk

[MarkBastable]

5. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

10. All Music & No Talk

That's not 10, though the right answer conveys a similar sentiment (or perhaps, if you take it apart, the opposite one). Also, it's idiomatically Brit - so the Yanks here stand very little chance. On the other hand, it's likely to be a Yank that gets 8. I'm very even-handed like that.

I thought 6 and 8 would be the tough ones. I'm simultaneously impressed and dismayed that kasie got All My Eye and Betty Martin so immediately.


STOP PRESS: I've just discovered that there's a US equivalent of 10 - which would be AH&NC. It's one I'm going to start using, I think.

[prendrelemick]

8. Ridden hard and put away wet. (Kasie's is so much nicer)

10. All mouth andno trousers

[MarkBastable]

Well done, mick.

So we're left with two from the field of commerce:

14. B&PF

15. AA&AL

Also, following my addition to the previous post, the US version of 10, AH&NC (which might just be a Texan thing).... Not that that one's really part of the game - it just amused me.
