Thank you

[klazomaniac]

I am starting to lose the will with today's cryptic crossword compilers.
Can someone please explain ewe ??

[Mamyalynne]

Only that Ewes go - Baa Baa - sorry not much help.

[Davemano]

Blah Blah Blah is described as an exclamation to refer to something which means very little - that's what Chambers gives.

[Davemano]

used to mean "and other words that mean very little":
Sorry - Cambridge Dictionary.

[klazomaniac]

I'm still completely perplexed.
But thanks for responding.
Diabolical!!!
Unless we are all missing something.
And I doubt that as the answerbank has some of the greatest parsers in the world !!

[Davemano]

If it is used to refer to other words which mean very little, then this could be bab bah which means nothing apart from a relation to sheep.

[klazomaniac]

I challenge the Irish Times when I have the opportunity.
But the Rte. Really should consider how much poteen their setter is drinking.
Ludicrous!!
Hic :-)

[Mamyalynne]

I've been in bother before for querying RTE clues, so I'll just say - Night x♥

[Davemano]

Agreed - all done anyhow.

[klazomaniac]

I have no bother.
I just don't understand such bad setting for a national paper. Its terrible!!
Night night all :-)
