HURRRAAAAHHH!!!! This is the first time I've completed the whole crossword. Three cheers for a completed crossword: Hip hip.... Hurrah! Hip hip..... Hurrah! Hip hip... Hurrah!!!!
Am adding clues for the ones I solved in the afternoon, and the answers also. Must admit that a couple of them are guesses, where all the other criss cross alphabets have been filled, yet I don't have a clue as to the clue.
