Urban posters quizword part 3

[planetgeli]

Evidence of original correct transcription. Shoot me now.

 

[planetgeli]

So you're left with

7 A blast from the ...future (8) - Scifisam
11 Copper (3) - Cid
16 Style (6) - teqniq

7 is the one I could change because its a hard clue.

 

[clicker]

11 metal Malcolm?

 

[Buckaroo]

7 Marty21???

 

[planetgeli]

7 Marty21???

Was wrong the first time somebody said - but it is a good answer

 

[Buckaroo]

11 Cid?

 

[planetgeli]

I've given the letters amounts in #92

 

[belboid]

11 Cid?

aaarrrggghhh. I'm slightly annoyed I didn't get that.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

I think I can speak for Maggot when I say that we hope that 16 is a fuckton better than 'mod'.

Cid was really easy. In hindsight.

I think 16 is easy. Really surprised it's in the last two to be answered. Then again, maybe its not an exact synonym so sorry if you quibble, which you may.

 

[belboid]

Fashion.

Bloody hell, there is a poster called Weller, apparently

 

[Buckaroo]

16 Teqniq?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

16 Teqniq?

If it is that, it's a serious clue fail. (sorry planetg)

 

[planetgeli]

Nah, you're free to argue. I understand they aren't exact synonyms but I think it was fair enough in this quiz. Maybe I should have put a question mark after the word. But I think there are contexts, tennis for one, where people use style and technique interchangeably.

I think its moot, but "serious clue fail" sounds harsh to me. Mistranscribing my bloody anagram for farmerbarleymow was a serious clue fail.

Anyway, about your own name that you failed to get littlebabyjesus ...

Fair enough. It isn't spelt right, though, so I think a ? would have helped. But anyway I did very badly, including not getting myself. I had the right bit for the anagram as well.

 

[planetgeli]

And as I'm feeling generous

7 Futuristic missile (8)


Last one in wins...

 

[Buckaroo]

7Scifisam

 

[Buckaroo]

Apols only 8 letters

 

[Buckaroo]

Thought it was 9!

 

[planetgeli]

Oh ffs, I even fucked up the 8 letter thing. And what is apple about!
Buckaroo wins!

 

[planetgeli]

Look, I did get pretty stoned a couple of hours ago...

 

[chainsawjob]

Thanks planetgeli enjoyed trying to do that

 

[planetgeli]

Well, that all got pretty confusing/wild at the end

Congratulations Buckaroo and thanks to everyone.

I'm off to school to learn how to count and transcribe my own thoughts properly...no wait.

 

[Buckaroo]

Buckaroo wins!

Cheers planetgeli! Tough crowd

 

[belboid]

You're no araucaria, but you did areet. Thanks planetgeli

God I miss Araucaria. I don't do crosswords much these days, and that's largely down to the death of Araucaria.

Monkey puzzle! There was another setter, a guy in prison, Fidelio, (I do life), not sure if he's still about.

He the Guardian one? I used to do the Guardian xword and even finished it sometimes. Judging by recent performance, I think I'd struggle now.

I remember him but never knew this. Thanks for that titbit.

Yes, Araucaria was a genius and a polymath. Died at about 92, setting puzzles up to his death. Massive range of knowledge, including regular drug slang based answers...at 92 ffs.

Wasters at the Guardian didn't even set a Christmas puzzle last year, just a rubbish themed one on about Dec21st. I gave up with that paper long ago.

 

[belboid]

Anyone know a good online crossword compiler site? I have found a couple, but at least one just doesn't actually work, and (ideally) I'd like to be able to choose some of the grid layout as well...
