27a Altai

[ladyalex]

snap, Sandy!

[sandyRoe]

What is it they say? Great minds think alike, or fools seldom differ?

[TheWinner]

for 28a) are your letters right? I thought it was Utu ?

[ladyalex]

One of those.....

Only Mesopotamian God with 3 letters I can find is UTU...which doesn't fit....you doing any better, Sandy ?

[sandyRoe]

All I can think of is 'Shamash'. But it's 4 letters too long

[alexanderd]

shamash and utu are the same god under different names

[sandyRoe]

He's using an alias? That's a bit iffy

[ladyalex]

How do we know that you're not using an alias too, Sandy...you could be Alexanderd....or even me....we're all Alexes.......
Maybe I'm you.....

[alexanderd]

never trust a messopotamian!!

[ladyalex]

or an Alex......

[alexanderd]

Now now LadyA there is no need for that. I am perfectly trustworthy, just ask Matron

[sandyRoe]

I was named after Field Marshall the Earl Alexander of Tunis. I suppose I'm lucky my dad wasn't a fan of the French. I might have been called Charles De Gaulle Row

[ladyalex]

Only until you are alone with Matron late at night.........I've seen the club minutes

[alexanderd]

you would have to live near the airport Sandy

[alexanderd]

she trusts me not to tell anyone

[ladyalex]

I was called after my Dad...they were expecting a boy....

[sandyRoe]

Alexandria is a lovely name...
