I need help with these two please. Info' drawing, not a church, has two. (6) ?I?R?? Domineering lad comes up with the bends; boots missing. (5) B?S?? I'm thinking bossy as I can see the "boy" in it but don't get the SS part.

[mallyh]

s bends?

[shoota]

'S' bends - Bossy is good

[vakayu]

yes bossy as in bossy boots-boy+ss domineering germans

[xcutter]

Thanks to all of you. I never thought of the "bends" connection!

[shoota]

Does that give you any more letters in the drawing one?

[xcutter]

I think the letters are now ?I?R?M Pretty sure they're correct but I can't see anything that fits, shoota.

[vakayu]

spires?

[vakayu]

I'm confused where does sbends come into it?

[elliemay1]

Which clue gave you the letter M?

[mallyh]

you get u bends and s bends

[Captain2]

I'd have thought 'DIAGRAM' as in Info Drawing but can't parse

[shoota]

Digram - Diagram without the A

[xcutter]

elliemay1, the clue is Fashion house on the farm, free of vanity. (7) I went for modesty. Mode and sty.

I shall now sut up and disappear 'cos I can't count

[shoota]

Vak - Donineering = bossyboots
Lad = boy
the bends = ss (2 x s bends)
boots missing - Bossy

[xcutter]

I'm really grateful for everyone's assistance. I've never heard of digram! Thanks again.
