Thanks but can't find blue = blow in Chambers Thesaurus or anywhere. If it's a homophone then surely it would be "squandered" in definition?

What's the full clue please?

Question Author

Oh yes I see it down there at 27 in Collins. Never come across it as a slang word. Thanks.

Question Author

Sorry factor-fiction. Clue was "special pair of queens in 24 down (8)". 24 down is "blue".
As I said above blue = squander is unfamiliar to me.

Shouldn't the BA go to scorpiojo?

Question Author

Sorry yes it should but I'm new here and have b????d it up.

so it's Q AND ER. I'm not sure where the S comes from - is that from 'special'?

S(pecial) is often used by setters FF

Thanks, dannyk- I didn't know that.

Question Author

Yep. Some Grauniad setters love one-letter abbreviations even they don't occur in common usage.
