Spectator N0 2604 - Snap By Doc

[Matakari]

Good day, I played my cards right with Doc’s offering for this week.
It was a gentle grid fill in record time, and without any requests for
help from the AB. I’m thrilled!

Good to hear Mate :-)

[jazzgirl]

Very happy for you Matakari :-)

[Boethius]

Lovely! Can I ask about 10A - Evil mix of love and malice?: ???ON???A?T and 9D Scout round eastern salmon river?: S??Y
Can’t think of anything for 1A. Is OM??? Correct? Many thanks.

[JJ109]

9d Sp E y

[klazomaniac]

10 O(love) +and malice [anag]
Spy = scout
letters are correct

[klazomaniac]

Ps final A &T are incorrect at 10a

[klazomaniac]

A is correct. T is not part of that word

[Boethius]

Many thanks to you both!

[klazomaniac]

Happy to help Boethius. Sorry about my response @15:34
Your letter pattern confused me.
I had a similar issue once when my printer was running low on ink. The dividers came out very pale and led me to believe an answer was longer than I should have been looking for.

[Matakari]

Yes, Boethius, for 1A, OM??? is correct. Think of the Spanish for man
with the disappearance of the initial letter.

[Farrwest]

Can I barge in here and ask for the answer to 2d instant reminisences of Disney animation (5) M?A?A? Did I go astray somewhere?

[klazomaniac]

All good so far Farwest. Albeit only 5 not ??????
Google Disney films

[klazomaniac]

Ps. It's a 2 letter word for instant and a 3 letter word for reminisences

[Farrwest]

Thanks K

[klazomaniac]

You're welcome Farrwest :-)

[Tilly2]

Boethius, think of a D-Day beach.

[Tilly2]

Ignore that^^^^^^

[klazomaniac]

I was just about to say Tilly ! :-)
Matakari gave a good clue.

[Tilly2]

No wonder I couldn't do 3d. :-(

[klazomaniac]

You forgot to add 'Bum' on the end. lol ;-)
