Audited Accounts and Adjusted Losses?

Nope. It has to do with the expression of cost. To be honest, I nearly didn't include this remaining one because I don't think it's as neat a 'listy' thing as the others. If no one's got it by this evening, I'll give the answer and we'll move on.

(I know the feminine version of the All Mouth one......)

If you're thinking of FC&NK, I'd say that that wasn't quite like AM&NT, which is about failure to deliver on a boast, whereas FC&NK is more to do with a high likelihood of delivery despite pretensions to the contrary.

An arm & a leg.


Kasie's go, I think.

[prendrelemick]

So obvious - when you know the answer.

[kasie]

Ah, gee, thanks, Mark.......

Right, the same only different - I'm incapable of original thought right now - opening lines of poems. An easy one to start off:

1 I X D K K /A S P D D

2 I W L A A C

3 H A L, H A L, /H A L O

4 S I C T T A S D? /T A M L A M T

5 I I A A M /A H S O O T

6 I W A A G N, A G T I

7 M L I L A R R R

8 T C T T K O P D

9 S O M A M F

10 A D T F I A T /W U E M G?

11 I M G D T T S A, T T L S A T S

12 H D I L T? L M C T W

13 I Y C K Y H W A A Y /A L T A B I O Y

18 O, T B I E /N T A T

19 L M N T T M O T M /A I, L I N L /W A W I A F, /O B W T R T R:

And to finish, not a beginning, but an ending:

20 .............O!Y
S T C C A T T T?
A I T H S F T?

I'll smugly pick off the easy ones before I leave for work...


1 I X D K K /A S P D D In Xanadu did Kublai Khan

2 I W L A A C I wandered lonely as a cloud

3 H A L, H A L, /H A L Half a league, half a league

Well done - I think you'd better be preparing the next puzzle.

[prendrelemick]

Blummin 'eck he's got the three I knew. (I obviously go to work much earlier than Mark)

But I get home earlier.

[kasie]

Wow, am I impressed or what! It looked easy until I typed it in and then it looked horrendously difficult but - you clever lot have cracked it - just three left. Think C18th, Nursery Rhymes and Nonsense......

[MarkBastable]

I I A A M /A H S O O T It is an ancient mariner/and he stopoth one in three


That'll be 'one of three', given the clue. Now I have to look it up to see which of you is right.

(I'm not suggesting for an instant that I'd've got it either way, though I should have.)

[prendrelemick]

I standoth corrected.

I really want to raise an objection about the lack of U.S. poetry in this puzzle. HOWEVER, I only know the beginning of maybe three U.S. poems, and I don't really have too many at all memorized from whatever country, and for all I know half of this puzzle does actually consist of U.S. poems.
