When you're sitting around with a number of damaged ribs, you begin to think "How can I spread the pain around?"

Here's the answer. The answers to all the following clues contain the letters RIB in consecutive positions, but not necessarily in that order. ("Broken ribs" - geddit? )

-1. One of the founders of the United Artists motion picture company
-2. Chemical element - one of the rare-earth group
-3. Farm cart, used especially during the French Revolution
-4. Martial piece of music designed to be played on bagpipes
-5. 1970 hit for Anne Murray
-6. Money offered in exchange for an illicit advantage
-7. Participant in a church service
-8. Residential area on the edge of a city
-9. Reduce in scope whilst retaining the essential elements
-10. Heartbeat irregularity
-11. Small burrowing desert rodent
-12. The words of an opera or musical play

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

What's wrong with your ribs, Rog? Did Mrs. Worrier strongly take offense to one of your signature lines? snicker


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

All good! wave Would have also accepted terbium and ytterbium, manxman.

Not yet, Cue lol Tripped, went sprawling and either cracked or badly bruised a number of ribs. Over here there don't bother with x-rays unless it'a an obvious bad break, just tell you to go away and pop pain-killers for the nest 4-6 weeks sad

Thanks Sondi, so does Mrs Worrier. I'm playing the "poor wounded soldier" act for all it's worth evil

Sorry to hear about your fall, Rog. I hope you recover soon. I'm sure that even though you're on the injured list, you still get some ribbing from the Mrs. lol
