24 down, answer emotes. Please explain the 2nd part of the clue.
Hi Pam… Can you please post the wording of the clue? Thanks…
24D – Shows lots of passion, getting kicks downstairs when topless.
Being kicked downstairs is demotes, topless = take off the d = emotes
Thanks, Polly!
Hi. Puzzle 1248. 4 down . Very generous at 3 briefly, the time resoundingly given thus in Westminster.
I get the first word in the answer. Could you please explain the reasoning for the 2nd word of the answer. Thanks so much
Hi again. Having JUST solved 3 down , I’ve answered my own question to you.
Great – that was easy 🙂
Hi Pam, can you please explain the clue to 10 across, Nose Job?
Hi Ants… Can you please post the wording of the clue?
What you hope can be said of the operator before 8?
And so it is.
8 Across is ‘COSMETIC SURGERY’. The answer to 10 is NOSE JOB which sounds like (when ‘said’) KNOWS JOB – which you’d hope the surgeon (‘operator’) does!
I hope this explanation is helpful…
Great Thanks Pam
Forget the last comment, just clicked
The 8 was part of the clue, by the way 🙂
