[Tilly2]

Top of the league?

[Toorak]

Conjugal?

[brogles]

thank you so much league it si Míle buiochas

[brogles]

thank you Tilly míle Buíochas

[Gill55]

How do you get the conjugal??

[Toorak]

I can't parse it all

Con from Constance, al from Albert

I'm wondering whether there's a word missing from the clue

[Tilly2]

con jug al...?

[Gill55]

and where do the o and r fit in?

[Toorak]

I can't see where jug comes from Tilly - maybe brogles can confirm if the clue is complete?

[Toorak]

The o fits but the r doesn't - but brogles had a Wrong letter in the other solution so r may be a mistake?

[Flonska]

I think the clue should read:-

"Its to do with marriage of Constance with cooler Albert" The inclusion of the word cooler would then parse with Jug?

[Toorak]

Thank you flonska - mystery solved :-)

[Flonska]

Glad to have helped! ;-)

[Gill55]

That is the problem when you don't have the crossword, easier when you have the whole clue. At least it is solved!

[Toorak]

I'm often in that position Gill - I rarely have the crossword concerned

[Tilly2]

The only crossword I ever have in front of me is the Guardian Prize on Saturday.

Even then, having the full clue often doesn't help. :-)

[Toorak]

That's the only one I do too - and sometimes the obs Everyman (though I'm not too keen on it)

But you usually complete the guardian prize don't you ? (Unless it's an alphabetical ;-) )

[brogles]

[Toorak]

No need to apologise brogles - we got there in the end :-)

[brogles]
