But the clue has to point to one, single, unambiguous answer.

And there appears to a a veritable cornucopia of possible reponsses.

Too scared to use your imagination? Just pick a swear word and invent a clue from it.

Four letters. Clue:

Sir Tonys unsharp crevice.

I thought that the one, single and unambiguous answer to the clue was, by seemingly general concensus amongst the members of this forum, 'cunt' ......... I am, of course, willing to be corrected ..........

But it appears there were people who were prepared to be uncharacteristically polite in this instance. (pace Scunthorpe, of course)

Is this a clue? And if it is, where's the answer to "Mick Ryan is one..."? I'm not trawling the Profanisaurus/internet from work for synonyms for vagina I've not encountered (the synonyms that is. As in "ee Connie, tha's got a reet nice unsha..." (DH Lawrence) or whatever). Also, why no apostrophe on "Tonys"?

I was going to put something together involving not having been to scunthorpe and raving with the freshers, semester to semester. Neither of these being things to brag about, in my view. 

[andy_e]

Also, why no apostrophe on "Tonys"?

Because Tomtomtom likes to wind me up by misusing them.

Ha! <Smug mode>

Have finished PEX-word!

FAO mods - as this seems to have expired from natural causes, can it now be binned off to the Logpile.

[I'll post the solution to the last clue if anyone wants it, or it you all still want to solve it, PM anyone desperate enough for the answer.]

[grumpycrumpy]

I've got the answer........ Been a bit too busy recently to form a clue around it ....... I kept hoping that someone else would grasp the nettle ......... 

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

If someone wants to step up to the plate?








[Or I'll do another (easier and less obscure!) using that answer?]

[johnx2]

alright let's have a go...

> King - dreadful actor - dressing "Popeye the Sailor's" predecessor? [6, 8]

The pictures don't seem to be helping, unless Popeye follwed Corbet Hamgravy? Sonham Schooner?

Trying to make something work with "H" from Steps toe and Son but it ain't happening.

I'd prefer if this thread didn't die as it's not like I'm going to post about bouldering or anything.

Character.

Not the actor.

How the fuck are we supposed to work Harold Hamgravy into a clue?

Interestingly enough, word-for-word what der Grumpmeister said to my face!

[andy_e]

Poor King Harold! Ham, gravy, apple sauce, red wine, try not to spill them on this as the stains are a bugger to shift. (7,8)

[johnx2]

Popeye is clearly one of my cultural blindspots though not one I can be arsed rectifying,

I can't get a grip on the next clue either. I want th answer to be bayeux tapestry, even though it clearly can't be. Plenty of anag signifiers but no obvious 15 letters... If it's a proper ximinean then the deffn's got to be 'shift' or 'bugger to shift' as it's unlikely to be at the other end. Ah well, fade back into the background.

[andy_e]

My bad.
