Thanks scorpiojo, however the theme of the crossword is snooker and all colours have been mentioned apart from blue. Any thoughts?

[scorpiojo]

Aaarrrrrgh

[Mamyalynne]

26 Blue is good

[scorpiojo]

What do you have for 10d?

[Wharton]

Mamyalynne - Thankyou, but scorpiojo is correct, the answer to 10d is blue, which completes all the colours.

scorpiojo - I hope you appreciate your unusual 'Best Answer' :-)

dannyk13 - Thankyou.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm sorry maybe I misunderstood you when you said 'blue' had not been mentioned.

[Wharton]

Mamyalynne - I should be the one to apologise. I hadn't noticed I'd answered 10d as 'blue'. I'm putting it gown to old age :-). Thanks for your input.
