cool...thanks! I got everything except PANACHE today. However, I got SURVIVOR (small=s, lively=viv, rear end=R, but what is ancient city for-Rome=R?) AND KABBALAH (King=K, Associate=A?,bowled=B? film=?) more from the context rather than from the clue. Can you explain how you got those two?
Also was there any clue hidden in EPITAPH?
Hi Pannag,
SUR is an ancient city in Lebanon.
ABBA is the film and BLAH is pretentious talk.
EP is for record - Extended Play as opposed to LP - Long Play!
It is actually S-mall Ur is the ancient city!.
is Ur one of those standard defs?
Yes UR is a standard Definition .
