Mim

Deisemum,
Thank you very much for that answer--I'd never have thought of it myself.
Did you do the Cryptic Crossword in Monday's Irish Times? Not as hard as I thought it would be but still stuck on a few.

Mim

Oterol, No.17 is When 1 door shuts another 1 opens.

SlimeyGoose

Thanks all , especailly to Mim for your answers - got me on a bit further, especially on 27, which I would never thave got.

I am just stuck now on numbers

6 the1st T 1st
43 the 9M
51 F between 2 S
64 3 S Y and 10

Also no 19 A 2nd H C

Have seen various possible answers to this one- most likely are 2nd hand car and 2nd half comeback?

Any help on from you all on these would be appreciated - thanks.
