Quite right!

ok, if you're still around K, could you also help with 10d Max Mallowan 's discovery at Tell Brak - that would help a great deal, too - thanks S
Hi Steff .. 10d Eye Temple
Eye Temple, Steff.
Hello again Steff.

I don't do GK crosswords and only answered your first one as I knew it.

I see my good friends S and AQ who are both GK whizzes have answered you.

Cheers K

What's this girl got that all the chaps queue up to give her a helping hand!

thanks guys - trust you're both well and not being washed away. I suppose you have both finished this and resting on your laurels !!! I'm having fun with some of the slightly cryptic clues, particularly the 'French' ones - any help much appreciated with 29a and 30d
Question Author
they tell me she's a real charmer and pretty easy on the eye too, Aquagility, but then what do I know ??????
29a Esclandre

30d Confrerie

good luck from SUNNY Wiltshire (S)
Question Author
thanks, dear and I'm glad to hear Wilts is sunny !!! btw which race meetings did you get to, whilst on your holidays ??
'fraid that's one of my 'little vices' - I love following the horses, but confine it to a friends stable and he has quite a successful string, so have done very well over the past 2 years !!
Gosh .. lucky you, I could do with a few tips from "the inside" .... I was fortunate that none of the meetings on my itinerary were cancelled owing to the wet weather, and was able to attend meetings at Thirsk, Warwick and Market Rasen ... all new courses to me !
Question Author
knew there was one more giving me grief - 31a is not Ile de France, inspite of all links telling me it is, so please - what is it
if i remember correctly, the old french department is seine-et-oise
Yes I have Seine-et-Toise also pjw
... oh dear typo Seine-et -Oise
Question Author
aaaah yes, the old problem rears it's ugly head - seekeerz does NOT read the clues properly, no wonder she gets into strife !!!! thanks sarumite and pjw, much appreciated seeya
