Thanks as ever DJA

I was astonished to find the author of the quote in the ODQ!

I've just noticed that an ABer won Spectator 2072.

Well done Julie.

Thanks to dja as ever.
All done apart from filling in a few letters of the 5 unclued lights - can't see how they must be filled to display two items for which the quotation is entirely inappropriate. Any help/hints please?

[bakajiji]

Thank you again, Daniel. Lavatch is always a challenge!

[maurice]

You can say that again! Still trying to "fill the unclued lights to display two items " etc. etc. Has no-one any ("outstanding") idea (s)he is willing , not to divulge, but just give a little hint about?

I chose my AB name, by winning a local crossword, even if it was only a tenner. I was really embarassed when they published this: and The Winner is: + my name. Welll done to anyone else who wins, anything is better than nothing.
