Onecoolcookie

Anyone know where I'd be able to get a copy of this now, either a hard copy or online? Or if someone hasn't started it yet and could email me a scan of one that'd be brilliant. Not bothered with entering it just enjoy doing sports crosswords.

Thanks for that, well through it now. I'm kinda at the stage I wish I had never started... cos when I come near the end I panic that I will be short one or two and not be able to finish, and that it was all a waste of precious time.

I don't know the last two but there are three types of abstract painting art forms I can think of with seven letters, fauvism, orphism and bauhaus, bauhaus is probably the best known of those three.

deshav

Many thanks.

I got (din) for the Jewish ruling clue.

If the abstract painting answer is either of those three the letters of
The younger at school maybe is either:
?i?v?u?
?i?h?u?

The i comes from (win) Dry out the hay, take first place
The u comes from (run) A fast score in cricket

Thanks again
