A little bit of thinking and guile but I solved it, without paying anyone! Good grid Blues.

Rugby is not the finest sport... cricket is!

After a little delicate thought I tried "Lady of easy virtue" only to be denied the point! Fun grid though!

Howzat Will?

GenghisK... When you say you tried a "Lady of easy virtue"...
... Ah Ha ! I see what you mean.
The women in the grid may not be so easy with their virtues because they all like to see a cash exchange enacted prior to any favours being exchanged.

Good crossovers Blues and I discovered some new odds

I was completely innocent of one of the subjects. Never taken much of an interest in aeroplanes. Keep it up!

Now this has given me a dilemma! I'm torn between siding with Will D and Cricket or with Blues and Rugby... I think I may have always been indecisive, although now I'm not convinced... I enjoy watching (and occasionally playing) both equally, so perhaps it comes down to whichever is in season? So I guess rugby at the moment - but then I'm off to watch the Lions this summer - this is harder than any grid! Or perhaps this ambivalence just shows me as being firmly on the fence on this one... (or just a complete reticence to commitment in general, my therapist would probably infer!) ;)

NL... I did the last Lions trip out there, wrap up warm and take plenty to read.
Cricket or rugby .... Love them both.


Toast, I have to agree with you I've not spent much time on a plane.

Blues... I remember, I was there then too! Managed to fit some snowboarding between 1st & 2nd Tests - Mountains had just opened IIRC...

Great grid - thank you.

tough but fair

Did not accept ladies of the night!! Im too polite!

Slang term for 'ladies of the night' not accepted. I'm with VBird on this. Good grid

Didn't accept "sex worker", which is the term that those in the specified profession actually prefer to use.

fun with words or schoolboy with a dictionary?

Too hard to think of a polite way to name the category containing cyprian
