Thanks, Chox.

[mac44]

probably dice, which makes the p wrong.

[chokkie]

do you think it's "snick"?

Chox.

[chokkie]

HI folks, thanks to everyone for their help thus far, but still stuck on two ....
23a criticise rap (5) ?n???
21d take risks when cut up(4) d???

Have had previous answers of "snipe" and "dice", but don't feel very confident about these, not least because if it were "dice", it could not be "snipe". And where does "snipe" come in with "rap".

Thanks, hope you can help,

Chox.

21d's got to be dice - dice with danger = risk, dice veg = cut up

[boxtops]

23 is Knock (double meaning, to criticise or rap at the door)

[chokkie]

Thanks boxtops - and, of course, 23a is "knock". dopey me!

Thanks again to everyone for their help today. All done now. Chox.
