This is agonising. No, that's not a clue.

[planetgeli]

Right, c'mon. 15 is hard but gettable.

 

[hegley]

Soz only just read thread and seen that's 18 so can't be 15.

[belboid]

Phew! And, relax....

 

[planetgeli]

Right, c'mon

15 is a perfectly fair but perhaps tricky cryptic crossword clue.

Right, c'mon15 is hard but gettable.

Well done planetgeli that was very educational.
What was the 'trouble' bit in mongolia?

 

[belboid]

What was the 'trouble' bit in mongolia?

'Ail' - returns

 

[clicker]

'Ail' - returns

Lia?? Nope.

Brilliant team effort and I'm sure none of you are interested in individual glory but with three to get the individual leader board is:

JuanTwoThree 7
Buckaroo 7
belboid 4 (but belboid got the theme which is worth a prize on its own)

I think the remaining three are all fair, if maybe tricky. I could have defined/spelled out JC for you but its not like I've picked someone obscure.

And you do have a finite list to help you.

belboid wins whatever the stats say

 

[planetgeli]

Lia?? Nope.

Ail is a definition of trouble. Return it and you have 'lia'

 

[Raheem]

More!

More cryptic quizzing

One word answers. Probably will be quite tough at first, but easier once you get the theme. Lawyer dresses French Pete. (Robespierre) You know, the one who married Bono. (Thatcher) Romney's job. (Mitterrand) Disturbed and male. (Mandela) Soundin' avian, mixed in salt. (Stalin) Carrier for...

Can someone please expain this to me:

Clue: Silly son's 50-50 after exercises, having a funny turn

Answer: Dizzy Spell.

Now I get that the answer means "having a funny turn" but WTF is the rest of it supposed to mean??

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Is the 50-50 the LL at the end of "spell" ??

Silly = Dizzy ?

Then I'm left with "spe" wut??

Silly = dizzy
LL = 50/50 (Roman numerals) comes after
PE - exercise

That S for sons is still confusing me

 

[belboid]

I suppose ‘Silly sons’ is dizzyS as there are two of them

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Hm
Thanks belboid
I hate it as a clue

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I mean silly = dizzy
Well yeah but not necessarily so it's shit
In my view.
Pah.

 

[belboid]

I get you. And ‘sons’ just doesn’t work. Sadly, it’s a sexist term as it’s only really used (?) with ‘dizzy blonde’. I guess the sons was trying to avoid sexism.
