[saladdodger]

help with parses please:
(there may be an extra letter in the wordplay)
11a Old play the supreme controller always unveiled with ballet move ....answer appears to be EMPERISE (or possibly IZE ending)
12a When high this may be congratulations received at tea-time ....answer FIVE .....IV must be the teatime ... and high five would be the congratulations ..but the "fe" ??
33a Last of Trescothick after bouncer in mischievous game ..answer LARK...where's the bouncer?

[dannyk13]

Why not five for tea -time?

[dannyk13]

33a.Rook?

[Neveracrossword]

33 Liar is the bouncer (it's in Chambers)
11 Brise is the ballet move, drop the B.

[Neveracrossword]

12. Like Danny, I just took it as Five = teatime.

[dannyk13]

[dannyk13]

Prefer roo (kangaroo) for bouncer.

[saladdodger]

Thank you danny and Neveracrossword.
What does "appropriately" mean for the highlighting of the 2 with the wrong definitions?

[saladdodger]

Thanks danny but the A and R are definites from down clues so liar must be the bouncer

[Neveracrossword]

Danny, for 33 A, crossing answers give ?ARK.

[dannyk13]

AH! thanks NAC, I don't have the paper.

[Neveracrossword]

Saladdodger, have you got two clues with 'interchanged definitions'? I have, after a fashion, and they can be 'appropriately highlighted' quite simply... but there's no guarantee that I'm correct!

[saladdodger]

yes i have the middle 2 crossers but i still don't get "appropriately" ... does it mean in a specific colour perhaps?

[saladdodger]

My 1st 15 extra letters don't make sense so assume some are wrong but the parses seem to work for my extras.

[saladdodger]

ah sorted them now and i see what colour to shade!

[roslyn251254]

I seem to have an extra "P" from 25a... cue = (p)rod ?

[Neveracrossword]

Ros, isn't a Cue just a Rod? (Chambers has just confirmed this!)

[roslyn251254]

Thanks Neveracrossword... thinking of a different cue.
