20A sporting

[puzzled?]

Thank you Shaneystar2.

[shaneystar2]

For 20a I have the letters R?A?P?? because 17 down is Sporadic ..I think ....I may be back ..I am half way through this myself.

[shaneystar2]

Doesn't make sense does it ?
I now have R?A?P?O assuming 9D is Cricket Ground

[puzzled?]

i have Anita for for 25 down, Cricket ground for 9 down, Ibsen for 27 across,
Sporting for 20 what you gave me, i think it must be Shampoo, making 17 down Episodic ?
what do you think ?

[shaneystar2]

Yes !!! Well done ...finished now ...sorry about sporadic !!
Good Luck

puzzled? -- Shaneystar2 is indeed a star!
She is one of the 60-odd ABers (and I mean odd in its nicest sense) that attempts the Link Games every weekend. Why don't you join us?

The postings will both be on the current page eventually!

For my sins - I keep track of the scores!

[crofter]

One Link Game has already kicked off (four postings down). The second one begins at 9.00 prompt!

Be there or be square! :o)

Thank you for your kind offer, unfortunately i cannot join as this is not my computor, my friend (next door) kindly lets me lend it when i get stuck on the puzzles or i have to go to the librey in the town which is quite a long way.One day (hopefully) i will be able to afford my own. Thank you again.
