Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Great minds huh Fred? I'm off to our old bar in a minute, remember it? It's their last Sunday. They made a really good go of it for a couple of years - he's a very good chef - but sadly there just aren't enough people around - too much hard work for too little reward.

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Yes - I've just got it. The first word was easy enough but I only got the second word by utilising my awesome google fu in very creative ways.
I don't really know why some of it fits and I don't know what it means...
ETA I see Fred's got it as well - my reasoning for rara was different his.

. A rare or unique person or thing.
I've removed the actual answer in case someone is sill trying to find the answer

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Thanks Fred and Jim.
I would never have got that.
Heres another
Gran's top cupboard containing pure yellow material.
2 words, 6 and 5 letters
First word begins with 'G'
Second word begins with 'P' and ends with 'S'

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Ha!! Yes, in Ireland a press is some sort of cupboard.
So we have G (gran's top) and press (cupboard) containing utter (pure).
And apparently 'yellow journalism' is another term for low quality news writing.
Very obscure.

Well done again Jim. I've never heard of 'press' relating to a cupboard.

I know I said that I was done with this thread, but I am not giving up until I get at least one right.
