Catherine/Katherine?

FintyTin · 12/06/2018 21:09

Eleanor?

throwcushions · 12/06/2018 20:08

Hooray! I didn't get the cryptic clue but it's a great one. I love cryptic crosswords though I'm not much good at them!

This first lady is a real witch, a large drink and two letters of the alphabet to her friends.

finallychangedmyusername · 12/06/2018 19:34

Well done @throwcushions, it was Caroline/Carrie.

Surprise" = oh! Or o
"Automobile" = car
"Route" = line

So o + car + line ... except it's muddled or jumbled, so then car + o + line makes Caroline.

The pubescent scorned misfit is Stephen King's Carrie and the fictional columnist is another Carrie, Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. A lengthened form of Carrie is Caroline.

throwcushions · 12/06/2018 19:27

Carrie?

finallychangedmyusername · 12/06/2018 18:53

Just realised that might be my oddest sounding clue yet! Grin

finallychangedmyusername · 12/06/2018 18:41

Yay, thank you @Bexter801 and @FintyTin.

Next one:

A muddled surprise automobile route lengthens our pubescent scorned misfit and fictitional columnist.

Bexter801 · 12/06/2018 13:04

Noooo,I thought I had it! Well done @finallychangedmyusername Smile

FintyTin · 12/06/2018 12:46

@finallychangedmyusername has it: Owen/Owain.

Owen Meany is the book.
I admit the bank reference doesn’t work quite so well in the Welsh pronunciation, but...
Owen Harper from Torchwood.

I couldn’t work out a Glyndŵr reference without completely giving it away!

Well done and over to you! Smile

Bexter801 · 12/06/2018 12:29

Gavin?

finallychangedmyusername · 12/06/2018 10:35

Owain?

FintyTin · 12/06/2018 09:32

Not Lloyd or Clark...although Clark does fit most of the clues pretty well.

LadyGAgain · 12/06/2018 06:48

Clark?

throwcushions · 11/06/2018 20:38

Lloyd?

FintyTin · 11/06/2018 20:06

Not Robert, sorry.

trueblueari · 11/06/2018 17:29

Rob/Robert?

FintyTin · 11/06/2018 12:32

Oops, sorry, I got distracted by Poldark! Thank you @finallychangedmyusername - how did you guess? More addict than expert, though. Grin

Hopefully this one isn’t ridiculously easy:

This Welsh chap can be a bit unkind when he goes by the book. He might be in trouble with the bank, or he could be defending the planet in secret.

finallychangedmyusername · 11/06/2018 12:13

Well done @FintyTin - you're so good at this game?

FintyTin · 10/06/2018 20:49

Yay! That was a fun one @throwcushions (especially the fruity clue), thank you! Smile
I guessed that the saint clue was All Saints (Melanie Blatt), but I think I was just in the girl groups groove by then. Grin

Give me a few minutes to think...

throwcushions · 10/06/2018 20:21

Not Juniper!

FintyTin is indeed correct (very quick!) but with Melanie.

Dark is the meaning of the name. There are two saints named Melanie.

Fruity is melon-y (groan!)

Spicy is the two Spice Girls named Melanie.

You're up FintyTin!

finallychangedmyusername · 10/06/2018 18:24

I think @FintyTin is probably correct with Victoria but just in case.... Juniper?

FintyTin · 10/06/2018 17:16

Or Melanie?

FintyTin · 10/06/2018 17:09

Victoria?

throwcushions · 10/06/2018 15:21

That was a great one!

Here's mine:

She is a dark saint, at once fruity and spicy!

finallychangedmyusername · 10/06/2018 00:40

Well done @throwcushions! You got the reasoning too:

"Drawing out her centre" is to elicit something. And you can actually elicit the word "elicit" from Felicity. F-elicit-y.

"...yet is completely happy" = as a complete name, Felicity, the name means happiness.

And yes the second sentence refers to possible nicknames for Felicity ("...to her friends"). "Cool beverage" is fizz/Fizz or fizzy/Fizzy, "over in a swish" is a flick/Flick and "invoiced" is indeed a fee/Fee/Fe.

Over to you!
