Just different ways of thinking. Even if I was given it all "on a plate"
up to "Please find an anagram of chief and sak" I still would not have got fishcake.
A crossword clue should never be worded like that, since “sak” isn’t a proper word. However, “chief” and “ask” would work fine.
But I don't think I would have got angle meaning fish. I would probably have thought of right angle, so something being upright, or something being correct.
Cryptic crossword clues are all about that kind of misdirection! It’s very common, for example, to see ‘flower’ in a clue, but it often refers to a river (i.e. ‘that which flows’).
Here’s a reminder of the clue that I posted yesterday:
Following battered hake and chips oddly another seafood dish (8)
If you deconstruct it, you get
F = Following
HAKECIS = hake and chips oddly (i.e. HAKE plus the odd letters of the word CHIPS)
FISHCAKE = F plus battered (i.e. anagrammed) HAKECIS
Here’s one possibility that I find quite appealing:
Following battered hake and chips oddly another seafood dish (8)
Who is supposed to have demanded what?
I took Geoff’s comment to mean that Eleanor Roosevelt’s status as a former First Lady, rather than the lady herself, demanded greater respect.
There were some posts, most from me, one from Alfred, until 28 October 2022.
Alfred added a Follow request to the thread.
I automatically follow a thread when I post to it, so I only have to explicitly submit a Follow request if I want to follow a thread without posting.
How about these ‘normal’ bats (England, ca. 13th century)?
Sometimes I love the internet.
And sometimes not so much, no doubt! Good to know that you resolved the problem.
Alfred, do you know Gaelic?
No, not at all (apart from the numbers up to ten or so, and the odd phrase or sentence like the one I quoted).
Interestingly, in Welsh the verb comes first.
That’s also true of Gaelic; e.g. “Bha an cat dubh” = “The cat was black”. Maybe it’s a general Celtic thing.
I have just listened again several times and I make it that they used the first sixteen notes. I do not know how that relates to bars.
You may well be right about the number of notes! I’m afraid I simply counted the notes that I remembered in my head, without bothering to find a programme so I could check that I hadn’t truncated the sequence.
The bit about bars was lifted from something I read.
I only recognized the first ten seconds of the music.
I believe they only used the first six bars (twelve distinct notes).
As Joe points out, the manufacturer is likely to be the same for both products.
Some years ago, Kelloggs advertised that “we don’t make breakfast cereals for anyone else”.
The page has the following.

But if one reads it in a different style ...

I don’t see anything particularly remarkable about wording on that page.
I see that we posted almost simultaneously!
Ah. I think that you have clicked on it and the position of the pointer may be over a product.
I clicked on the link in your forum post, and I got a ‘404’ error page. Given that the linked page had the very specific name ‘handmade-air-dried-plantable-botanica-seed-and-petal-paper-280-300-gsm-100-cotton’, it wasn’t obvious to me that a 404 page was what I was actually meant to see.
I don’t see anything particularly remarkable about wording on that page.
That link gives me a ‘404’ error. Is it one of these products?
Being unfamiliar with the term ‘Bridezilla’, I looked it up! It seems to refer to someone being obsessively (and, by implication, unreasonably) demanding, and it would put me off giving a business my custom if that’s their view of me.
I find both Gordon's and Paul's video most interesting. Albert's and Eric's too. Keep 'em coming, please.
Ditto. And ditto. And ditto.
As a side note, near the beginning of Paul’s video there’s a classic fail in the autogenerated captions. It says: “and who are you I am deaf”!!
I’m with you on this one, William. If the award purports to be for the best PhD thesis, any and all background information seems irrelevant.
Welcome, Richard!
“You’ve Got Mail.”
At 300 ppi, 600 pixels would be only two inches, so why do you say “most model designs could fit” instead of “all model designs would fit” on an A4 sheet?
That reminds me of the old trick of using lemon juice as invisible ink, and then using the heat from a lightbulb to turn it brown so you can see it.
Apparently some 350 gsm paper is thicker than other.
It’s a given that more heavily compressed paper is denser and thinner, but for a given paper type 350 gsm paper will be almost twice as thick as 180 gsm paper. Cartridge paper, for example, is thick but very flexible.
