      I'm partial to an After-Eight or four myself too, mercs

      What's occurring?! Have we had 2 U s?!

        I refer you to #14801, which at the behest of Flay I supplemented the clue, methinks you've been in Room 101 too long!

            That's a good thought.

              I stand corrected, said the man with the surgical insoles.

              Just lots of work flying around... Occasional forays back onto the R3 Forum for mental relaxation aren't compatible with the longer more strung-out puzzles! AKA I have a very short AA attention-span during the week

                    That was your four thousand two hundred and eightieth post, Caliban. Do you ever have anything constructive to say?

                        It was an oblique reference to Caliban asking whether we had had two U's, and yesterday's debate about getting two of the three answers correct. Viz. Up, Up and Away counts as two... never mind...

                          As I said earlier the answers are becoming more cryptic than the questions!

                            Dawn Upshaw any use? (I've lost track of whether "Up" is involved or not!)

                              Dawn Upshaw certainly is.

                                but it's still a Steve Morse, is it? - if I understood your underlining in #14815
