I'm rather hoping inspiration will arrive over lunch. I think the second word ends in "N" But I'm a bit flummoxed today. My first entry was on Saturday so I don't know what I'm missing.

Yeah got the same last letter.

Friday was 26 across, which is an easy one, you will be able to get it without the picture clue.

As for the first 3 days I have no idea...

There is a list of names but none seems to have a 5 letter 1st name.

Glad its not just me.

Day off today and I have just spent the last 3 hours researching the travels of " Robert Falcon SCOTT cov."
Seeing who went out with him and came back.

You would not believe the amount of people with 8 & 10 letter surnames.

i haven't give up yet...... but am class
Just off to repair a puncher and hope for some insertion.

For Gods sake look after my people (Robert Falcon Scott 17 march )

*BigJohn*I think the second word ends in "N" you must ave 19 down then

It is a toughy and it took much scratching of my head, until I thought about my ME Ogre walking jacket.
