[sir.prize]

[dannyk13]

Can you parse it sir prize?

[sir.prize]

all hopes dashed or ruined = done for

[sir.prize]

I do not understand what boomerang means with

///28a this is done for 19 not 11 S?N?///

[emeritus]

Is it 19 (s) un 11(k) Letters of alphabet ?

[dannyk13]

Sorry sir prize still can't see how you get sunk.

[dannyk13]

Thank you Emeritus.I'm brain dead today.Bit embarrassing as I am listed as a runner up today.

[emeritus]

Well Done Danny

Not sure if its right just a thought ?

[dannyk13]

It makes sense to me Emeritus.I just could not connect anything to scandal and range.

[sir.prize]

ok danny. Try this.

8d is hibernatioN

21d is noteS

So 28a is S?N?

done for = all hopes dashed or ruined ie sunk

[boxtops]

28 sunk, then

[dannyk13]

Thanks sir prize.I had all the down clues but just could not parse it until Emeritus chipped in.

@Sir.prize The answer to 8 d is an anagram of Hibernia, (minus the 'I') plus 'Into', rearranged
