The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

Gil-Galad, I think that you are expecting rather too much in the way of answers to your questions. Yes, you are of course entitled to insist on the correct name being given (which I agree has not yet been given on the current question). And you are also entitled to expect some explanation of your clue when it is in riddle or cryptic form.

But, I think that once you get the right answer and some (even if not a complete) explanation of how it was arrived at, then it's time to move on to the next question. You do not need every part of the clue explained (you can always explain any parts of the clue that remain a mystery yourself when you confirm the answer). Otherwise the thread tends to drag and people might get put off.

Also, please try to avoid making 2 or 3 posts in a row. It's often better simply edit your original post.

Thanks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
