I can't quite turn "ARE YOU" or "ONE PART" into anything but random fragments, and the less said of SCORIA, the better.<br />Fun theme though!Howard Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766792795622192271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-40409717926098735612016-04-21T12:04:51.744-04:002016-04-21T12:04:51.744-04:009:51 (FWTE)

I like the theme a good deal, but I agree with TWOS as well as ONEPART being a little confusing. Although that cocktail suggestion sounds good right now. We are currently in Paris!

I didn't particularly like ROUGES, because shouldn't that have been singular? I'm no language expert, so I'm probably wrong, but it just doesn't sit right with me. I didn't think twice about TOI, since I don't know what it means, but I also didn't particularly like TIEIN. TUNICS was good, as was MISERS, and its clue 68A Real keepers?. I entered NORAD off of the clue, but having NORA in the same puzzle? POOR.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
