[duncanmack]

Same as a sailing boat.

It's rigged.

[Sgeir]

Is that the clue?

 

[machurley22]

One who is willing (9)

_ _ _ _ _ T _ _ _

 

[tcm]

volunteer

(not me tho)

 

[machurley22]

You can do better than that.

 

[Sgeir]

Barmy twat

 

[machurley22]

Well, it's the right number of letters but there's no space, see?

 

[Sgeir]

Don't give us that, you had spaces between every letter. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[theforeman]

testatrix

 

[tcm]

better than that? I thought volunteer is pretty good!

Pakistani, then. Or er er Priestess. Neither of which are as good as Volunteer. Sexnutter?

 

[machurley22]

Easy-peasy

 

[tcm]

hm, well, a testatrix is a woman who has made a will, hence "willing"of course, and it fits. BUT i think you'll find the answer is "sexnutter", definitely.

 

[tcm]

Easy-peasy doesn't fit! And it's got a hyphen! Don't you know *anything* about crosswords? Jeez!

 

[theforeman]

well a woman who is willing could easily be a sex nutter /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tcm]

exactly. Except it is one word. So, i think it's pretty much confirmed that "sexnutter" is the correct answer. Also testatrix doesn't fit with 2 down which we have previously established is "sh!t for brains".

 

[Sgeir]

Anyway, as there no known words crossing vertically, I suppose we have to be mindreaders, not hypnotists.
