Had forgotten all about Lillie, that was a great series, Bill.
Not the one I was thinking of, but good guess!
Arrangement in question was rather spiky :)

Spot on Phil.

I remember going to a show where the MC said goodnight by wishing us to all live long enough to see the end of the DFS sale! :lol:

It's not so much the cryptics that are the problem.
Phil has taken offence to a comment on the 'Not a footy thread' posts and seemingly decided it's time to leave us all.
Sad to see him go - especially in the circumstances - but it's his choice.

Hi, Phil, thanks for keeping us entertained with cryptic thread, you’ve certainly kept the old brain matter going :idea:
Had a feeling it was Onedin Line (stuck on Spartacus) thought it was an anagram, never thought of a flipping boat :roll: :D
Really good question, and thanks again for memorable quiz :wink: :)

Sorry about the hiatus, guys, I made a bad choice last night, Another member put me right about the vitriolic football poster, so I've deleted the comments I made and decided not to let him affect me remaining on the forum. Apologies to anyone who read the post, my language was not acceptable.

Anyway, I feel that Shelagh should set the next poser, as she thought it was the Onedin Line. Spartacus, was the piece of music they used as the theme.
