Can't get going - a nudge on theme would be appreciated.

[roslyn251254]

Don't know the theme yet but 24a seems to lead to quite a lot of clues. I have BUST for the clue.

American Football Teams

23/8 = Washington Redskins

Rosyln

It is 24d which is relevant - BALL

[toalisi]

Thanks both

[roslyn251254]

Thanks K - whatever time do you get up? - you always seem to have the crosswords finished by the crack of dawn!!

[joggerjayne]

I haven't even been to buy the paper yet.

So, of course ... I shan't read this read.

Ohhhh ... it's "BALL" ???

Oops.

Hi Roslyn

Being a very old man I have to get up several times during the night and after about 6am I just stay up and do a few crosswords until the rest of the household stirs.

[roslyn251254]

K - you could be doing the housework!!! Lol!

[kayakamina]

I don't want to make a noise!

Ps I do make the tea though.

LOL

[grasscarp]

It's funny the impressions you have of people. I got your gender and age completely wrong Kayakamina. I am always in awe of you though nonetheless.

[kayakamina]

You're not the first grasscarp.

I think it is because my pseudonym ends with A.

Cheers K

The psychology of nom de plumes at 9.30 on a Saturday morning - must be a Bank Holiday week-end!

Why FOOTBALL please - I can't see the word play.

And how does this link with American football teams?
