Hi DISCODISK :D :D

to say i'm impressed would be an understatement - WOW & well done all 11 you submitted so far are spot on :P :P
Just to explain to anyone wondering about the "I didn't get where i am today" this was said repeatedly in the TV comedy The Rise & Fall of Reginald Perrin by Reggies boss CJ - hence CJ & Co. Didn't fool this man though.

Anyway there's two still to go - for everyone else, get in quick or DISCODISK is gonna get the lot :-?

You said i make em hard & then go get eleven in a couple of hours!!!!
Me thinks i may need to make the cryptic clues a bit harder next time as your just too hot

[DISCODISK]

think we may need a couple of more clues STAN for the last two, my heads wasted with this quiz :lol: and NO dont make em harder next time :o :lol:

[DISCODISK]
