Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Thanks Barnard. I don’t have a clue ready, so anyone can jump in!

Re: Only Connect clues
That’s it, Bertie! The fourth river isn’t so well-known: “cent”‘can become Kent or Dent, both also UK rivers (EDIT: as Barnard identified!). Again, I used this one so I could have “dollar” and “cent” in the wall, but I think I need to think less about clever puns/red herrings and concentrate on maki...

Re: Cryptic Crossword Clues
Cheers. It took some working out but I knew the word “is “ was there for a reason!

Re: Can We Do a Limerick Together???
Anne heard a noise outside her tent,
'twas a truck full of Portland cement
“How exciting!” she cried
Then the engine noise died,
From where had this lorry been sent?

Re: Only Connect clues
Good thinking Fiona! “It’s good, but it’s not right” as the catchphrase goes!
I didn’t think this was too difficult, but evidently it is and that’s on me. Sorry. I thought I’d taken to this game like a duck to water, but it seems I’m up the creek without a paddle.

Re: Only Connect clues
I’ve heard people mention Tullamarine quite often to mean Melbourne Airport, so I’m surprised that’s not its official name! When there’s only one major airport in a city, there’s no real need to name it after anything other than the city. In the UK, they have this crazy habit of including the word “...

Re: Only Connect clues
Well done, Courtenay!! I’d have been worried if an Aussie didn’t get the “Australian” connection! I bow to your insider knowledge about the dog breed! By the way, is Sydney Airport generally known to be called Kingsford-Smith? I know it’s also referred to as Mascot, the suburb it’s located in and it...

Re: Only Connect clues
Well done, Barnard. “Jump Cut” is the missing expression from that group. John - I was thinking of Kingsford-Smith Airport, the main airport in Sydney - though I accept not everyone will know it by that name. I was going to use “Kings” as the clue, but used “King” to make the “King Lear” pun on the ...

Re: Only Connect clues
Barnard - you’re correct, there is an Airport group. For the last one, look down under! There’s not a jet group, sorry. Bertie - you’re very close, and in fact your links all work. I had placed the same nationality before each word, but four different nationalities works just as well. As for finding...

Re: Only Connect clues
You’ve found the link, Anita, but I’m afraid “open” is an (unintentional) red herring. It belongs to another group. I’ll leave that link as unsolved to see if anyone comes up with the correct fourth clue! Bertie, I’m afraid you’re guesses aren’t correct - but very good thinking. You are on the right...

Sorry I’ve not been around much lately, but I hope it’s OK to jump in. Had this one partly prepared for a while!
