How about HB? Riffs nicely with inverse BH and the shade of pencils.

Yes, I thought that. Then I thought, like trog, that it was a hardness scale. Could always go for the BS scale. (or has that been claimed?)

 

[Black Hole]

Is it really so cryptic? I thought it was obvious as to why.

I'm not on your wavelength. Anyone else?

I have a t-shirt printed with:
iRetired
There's a nap for that

I need one of those...

Not very PC. Is this someone who has transitioned multiple times and has self identified three times as female?

Am I being dense? How does the National Front fit into all this? It seems completely off the wall (or fence).

 

[trog]

With their intolerance for anything black or coloured the higher the NF number the whiter it would be.
" shades of white " NF suggests white only. I cannot be any clearer than that.

I didn't immediately think of the front. In this area NF could mean Nottingham Forest (red and white), but I doubt it.

Loads on Amazon. Eg:
I Retired There's A Nap For That
Not just Tees.

Fair enough, just didn't occur to me.

What happened to the word "program"?

As in:
'Greeting programs'
?

Rung or Ringed?

Megan on Springwatch this evening talked about an osprey being rung but I think she should have said ringed.

 

[Black Hole]

I agree.

 

[MikeSh]

Yes. I think rung only applies to bells and ladders.

 

[antipodean]

Yes. I think rung only applies to bells and ladders.

Maybe it was its neck that was rung, but I think that is wrung ...

 

[Black Hole]

Heard on TV this morning: "also, xxxx as well".

Crossword clue "Cob, 4" solution "Crib"... anyone explain?

 

[MikeSh]

Crossword clue "Cob, 4" solution "Crib"... anyone explain?

Is it referring to clue 4?

Crossword clue "Cob, 4" solution "Crib"... anyone explain?

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.
Cot, 4 - makes sense. Cob? Are you sure "Crib" is the correct answer?
