[emmie]

thanks, any thoughts on that last on 5 d

itch?

[mallyh]

stun

[emmie]

if its stun then that other one isn't clothing
because it would be
-t-h.

[emmie]

this is last one, so if anyone can help that would be great thanks

[jonty23]

I think it could be ETCH.

[emmie]

thanks, but i don't get the word play...

[mallyh]

etch

[factor-fiction]

Eat out = outer letters of EAt = ET
+Ch for Chinese?

Not sure of the definition though

[mallyh]

the muddled up =going nuts s+c chinese capital

[emmie]

any explanation would be appreciated.

[emmie]

thanks all, will go with that.

[factor-fiction]

I agree with mally too- I assume to 'eat out' can be to etch

[emmie]

never heard that one, but it's the Mail so what do we expect....

[ceilog]

Surely it's THE and C getting etch which means to eat out

[factor-fiction]

That's what mallyh and I meant, ceilog
