No, try again! no need to get in such a STATE.

[MarkBastable]

Ida. The ho.

[MarkBastable]

Not Io, surely? Though I'd love to meet someone with that name.

And if it is, I'd pedantically complain that the clue should have been 'think of the moon' (lowercase).

[prendrelemick]

I'm sorry if that's the case.

My daughters best friend was called Io Fox.

Ida is right, but I cannot possibly comment on her status.

Now, only Earl's twin sister-who sounds like she was born was born before her time- to get, then I can go and get some work done. She may sound like a hippy child of the 60's but her name has ancient roots, meaning a young eagle.

She and Earl are very close.

Early? Earlya?

[prendrelemick]

Yes! Its Early.

Thank goodness, I was about to post that I had made a terrible mistake - its actually down in The Book as a boys name! - I copied it out wrongly. (I've also just discovered Arly)

So that's it. I think Kasie got the most of them.

[MarkBastable]

There's a pizza in the oven. I have to rush.

11. Do I love you? My oh my. River Deep, Mountain High.

(You'll notice that I put no '&' in there, because I'm going to have to go back to the record to make sure she actually sings the word.)

[jajdude]

I don't know any on first glance.

[prendrelemick]

I got the Gin and Tonic straight away. (12)

Nothing else though.


1. Ship shape & Bristol fashion.

[billl]

You can be sure that the extent of my contributions to this mind-buster will be

2. Few & Far Between

[prendrelemick]

Morning bill. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (3) have now all contributed.

[kasie]

So far, so good.

You may be right, Mark, in which case I apologise - it's just that 'singing' it in my head (and you would not want it sung any other way, believe me), I need an & to make the words fit the melody.

At that time in the morning, Mick? Oh well, I suppose the sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world.
