21across A few birds together recalled former frolic in e.g. a Collins? (10) ?O?KBUSTER

Blockbuster?

[Beatrice35]

Sorry, put an extra letter in there ;-)
Sure someone will know the answer to the above very soon!! Happy puzzling, Bea :-)

[Beatrice35]

Are you sure of the Buster part of this clue?
Thinking Bookworms?

[Beatrice35]

Except that is a 9 letter word. Put your letters into my crossword solver- came up with Nothing- no words! Cannot work out the clue with the 10 letters either, even as blank letters. Completely stumped!!

bonkbuster as in Jackie Collins books?

[Beatrice35]

Think it may be Rockhopper? Rockhopper is a small penguin.

[JUNKMAN]

Think the answer is bonkbuster ( type of book written by Jackie Collins etc ) - can't quite work out how!
A few birds together could be bonk - group of widgeons is a knob - so recalled would be bonk.
So I presume buster is a former word for frolic
Best I can do I'm afraid

[Beatrice35]

Oh my gosh, if that is right, never heard of that word vegasmad- rude word, too- would never uses that in my vocabulary! Some words do not like to learn!!

BUSTER = frolic is supported by Chambers.

Beatrice35: Azed seems to enjoy finding the rude stuff in Chambers and using it.

Another thing that Azed enjoys doing is finding new words in the latest edition of Chambers - bonkbuster doesn't appear in mine, and the online Chambers word wizard (http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/puzzl es/word_wizards/wwizards.py/main) doesn't find it either. But I am sure that is the right answer!

[snikwal]

Thanks everyone. Bonkbuster it is!
