No pictures but 11 across in this morning’s Grauniad cryptic crossword is Can goddess dishearten Kylie’s 29er? so it must be true.

How many letters?

So they really do fit small folk…

Nine letters, if Google is to be believed.

Yes, 9 letters. I suspect it’s referring to 29 down as a lot of the clues say something similar and I doubt it’s really a wheel size theme. not that that is helping much ATM

I think the answer is ‘Lookalike’

Can goddess dishearten Kylie’s 29er?

29down = ring

29er = ringer

can = loo

goddess = kali

dishearten Kylie’s = ke

ringer = lookalike (loo)(kali)(ke)

Nice one. Fits with 4d and I now have 1d and 3d too so we’re away.

This is why I don’t do cryptic crosswords.

I’ve not been this disappointed since 1985 Christmas when I realised that enormous bag of presents with my name on it was in fact just a beanbag.

Sorry, piemonster. I couldn’t resist it. If I do find a picture of the Minogue on a bike I will be sure to post it immediately.

This thread is worthless without pics (of Kylie on a bike)

We’ll see how long the second posting of that photo lasts 😀

What’s wrong with it? Hardly pron is it?

I’m just glad someone could work out how to post it. I tried twice and gave up… There’s another Kylie on a bike pic floating round on tinterweb too, if anyone can find it…

You see?
THIS is why you should have the appropriate footwear for bicycling. An important lesson well worth showing.

8D

Lol

No cleats. That’s why she fell off.
