[fiction-factory]

glut?

[fiction-factory]

land or line?

[Flonska]

8a glut

[fiction-factory]

not convinced by either though

[aelmpvw]

glut is initial letters of clue but there is no indicator for that?

[gangesboy]

first letters of get loaded up to - glut

[fiction-factory]

thanks ael/ganges boy, although I'd have expected clue to refer to initially/originally or similar

[ducksie]

8 tilt loaded to the tilt goes with the down clue being Altogether

[gangesboy]

29 Land ? for sure sounds like "shore" - very iffy

[aelmpvw]

isn't the phrase loaded to the hilt?

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I think that LAND is right- land a fish and sure sounds like (catch being the indicator?) shore=land.

Hi ducksie- so what pattern does altogether give you for 8a?

[ducksie]

ff I have ?l?o?e?h?r

[ducksie]

I'm heading out now, my morning began bright and cheerful, I've since developed a headache

[fiction-factory]

altogether looks right (don't know the clue though)- but I was wondering what that gave you for 8a- are you saying it shoud be ??LT then?
