No idea. I'm still stuck on the Sun's 1 across: Indefinite object (1)

Obviously the answer is "the" and the sun have just got the number of letters wrong - just put all 3 letters in the one box.

[Sysman]

That was the cryptic clue.

But 1 down is "round thing with cheeks that you sit on" (4). So once we have that, 1 across should be a doddle.

Bum.

Sofa.

Nope. It is indeed difficult today,

[OwlHoot]

The Sun crossword can be quite enjoyable, since both the normal and cryptic clues have the same answers.

Have you got 1 down yet? That'll give the first letter, which should help.

Can anyone help with the last clue in the Daily Sport?

Clue: Colloquialism for any of the milk-producing glands in female mammals, consisting of lobes containing clusters of alveoli with a system of ducts to convey the milk to an external nipple or teat.

Anyone?

I thought it might by tits, but it turns out that they're some kind of two-legged feathered flying thing.

I reckon you must have one of the other clues wrong.

Ok, here we go...

The competition is run by EO.

EO has a soft spot for the ladies - it's a function of age and alcohol.

Therefore he will always end the competition at a point that is advantageous to the girls team.

Ipso facto, quam minimum credula postero, mine's a pint!

I think it went down to the last question, it was neck and neck.


and the last question was prefixed with - 'last Question'... in bold

[MarillionFan]

FTFY.

Excuse me. I do believe that you PM'd me shortly afterwards to ask why Google had send you an email asking you why you were attempting a DOS attack on them.

[mudskipper]

Ok, here we go...

When I was on the team, we got thrashed by the ladies.

Even though I googled as quickly as I could.

So, given that it's impossible that the ladies could be clever enough to know the answers without googling, EO must have fixed the gig.

FTFY.

Which would have been any time after the first 5 minutes then!
