I feel like the answer I came up with is too *easy* to be correct, but, here goes...
TomBrady12? I wouldn't dare shake a stick at 12 wings... *shrugs* |

You're thinking along entirely wrong lines. Sorry!

Hmm. Slightly better, but still quite far off. There's no number in the name; it's entirely a word thing. This Downer doesn't really post too much.

Ach! Ye scunners!
Let's make it easy then.
Change one vowel in this name, and you get a plural of winged beings.

Well we have a Ravenna, if you change the last a to an s you get Ravenns, its almost ravens just with an extra n.

Good ideas! However, 'Ravenns' is not a word. And Balrogs don't have wings.

With the addition of one letter, davem's personal title sprouts wings (maybe?) but it isn't as if (NB,not 'like') he rarely posts.

Though it's not really relevant, it's the opposite of yours.

Shrunken -> short
anti-winger -> opposite my views which means balrogs are wingless How is this not relevant?

Nope.
It's cryptic.

Well, he can at least seem cross at times. Terrible guess, I know.

All I can think of is Firefoot. Since the southern cross used to be (still is?) considered part of Centaurus and the phantom accused Fire-non-Footie of being a centaur in his imaginings...

No fair, SpM - Cryptic Clues belong in... er, Cryptic Clues.
The only thing I can think of is that Crucifix thing in Brazil somewhere (hooray for my wonderful geographical and memory skills!). It's a cross, it's in the South. Do we have anybody named after it...? Last edited by The Saucepan Man; 09-11-2005 at 04:21 AM. Reason: Because I can ... |

Well, I've never played Cryptic Clues, so I'm probably going in totally the wrong direction, but perhaps something I say will spark the imagination of a more knowledgeable 'Downer. If it is something a'cross' from the "south", then it ought to have to do with the "north", in which case we need to find a 'Downer who's associated with the north... Or else, it maybe some sort of southern cross-breed. Hmm. Yes, that seems a bit more likely... So, the question is, do we have any australian hybrids lurking around the forum??? - Not looking for a reply from Mr. S P Man, just throwing out ideas for dead-ended BDers.

None of the above.
It may be worth looking at the cryptic clue examples on the Cryptic Clue thread ...
