hamiltonjag Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Is that another cryptic clue? No. I think its a quote from the Culter Fans Forum when force of habit made them head for the Bing only to be directed by stewards towards the Jackie Husband Stand on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 OK, I'm going to sound stupid, but I've not got to this age without sounding stupid before. I guess the answer is Partick Thistle or it wouldn't be on this forum, but how the **** do you get that answer from that clue ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's an anagram of "prickliest" and "that". I think the word "ground" is meant to be a hint that the above words should be ground-up to give the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
