    Just wondering if anyone is doing this quiz in the Holly Bough and fancies sharing their clues, difficulties etc.?

    I have had my copy 2 weeks now, and only 14 of the 60 are answered.

    Wondering is it just me finding it hard this year?

    Yes! Love the Diffney and the crossword.

    And it's not just you! I'm finding it more difficult this year as well. Maybe I'm just getting old. :D

    I've 42 of the 60 done. Really struggling with the last 18.

    Can only give you hints on two, I'm stuck on the others also:

    No 8 - think of a theatre on MacCurtain Street (and it's street number)
    No 60 - the number of activities in a multiple sporting event

    Any clues for the 'as gaelige' ones (15, 25 and 47)?

    15. Think between a rock and hard place
    25. Think of Ritchie Kavanagh

    No 37 - is a naval work shift (a watch) between 4pm and 8pm named after a common house pet that likes bones :-)

    No quarter given

    I'm stuck on the Y in C S and 1 M in M by J S.

    I thought the second one might have been a song, one month in May but that was by James Taylor.

    If anyone can shed light on the other two that would be great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Triangla


    3 B O, C tg4 also.

    Think it might be something on clar tg4.

    Scoured the listings but to no avail.

    Could anyone offer a clue to the TG4 one? It's the last one we need to complete the quiz. Cannot find anything to match.

    I am sure we could swap the answer for TG4 for the 1 M in M answer.
