26a Soldiers resentful, not half, in revolution. I have O_B_ _. So it could be ORBIT - but, if so, why?

[kayakamina]

OR (soldiers) BIT ( Half of bitter (resentful)

[JMR27]

soldiers = OR (other ranks) + resentful = bitter, not half, = bit

[kayakamina]

And OR are Other Ranks (soldiers)

[JMR27]

Good morning K - needless to say, I was still faffing about typing after you'd come up with the answer!

[kayakamina]

We seem to be treading on each others toes lately so, as this was a military question, what about us adopting a strict routine- You take the odd ones and i'll do the evens?

Hope you are well

Regards K

Many thanks, all, for explaining the military term! So where does that leave me with 21d: Chatter that's not quiet making one upset. I have _A_T_E. So RATTLE or TATTLE.... but which and why? Thanks in anticipation!

[Rapparee]

Chatter is prattle, remove the p (quiet) for rattle.

Thanks!
