You mean things like Roy Lichtenstein's comic book illustrations?   :-)

I remember the Tate as where I first saw an actual Salvador Dali painting;
there's detail in those that just doesn't show up in prints.

Indeed. Far too easy, really; a good anagram clue would not repeat

Re: OT (slightly): Cryptic Clue 1

2013-12-16 Thread John

Here in the states "RA" has a couple of different meanings:

1. Resident Assistant - the university's stooge in your dormitory.

2. Red Ass - anger (very angry anger; steam coming out of your ears
anger) usually in the third person, as in "He had a real bad case of the
RA."

Maybe the second is a colloquialism just in the Southeastern US.

Good day, Brian:

"For the cryptically challenged amongst us (perhaps I'm the only one?) would 
you care to explain the derivation?"


*** Arrived (CAME) with gunners (RA = Royal Artillery) and took shots with 
it. (6)   =  CAMERA  ***


Hotspot & DRS depend on it.  After yesterday, I can name one English batsman 
who won't be impressed by either


Yes, Joe Root was done. The latest trend (in rugby too) is to ask if there 
is any reason why the Umpire or Ref's decision should not be upheld. e.g. " 
Is there any reason why I shouldn't award the try?" or "Is there any reason 
that the batsman should not be given out".  I didn't see the snickograph but 
I heard the commentators say there was a tiny blip which didn't coincide 
with the sound in real time. The SA commentators pronounce his name like the 
Afrikaans "Roodt".
