The month to be in zero credit.
No burning coal after the fifth of this month.

OO! It's good but it's not roight.

Second one's November.

Yep and yep.

I was nearly right. They're all in the same year.

Why are you not supposed to burn coal after the 5th November?

No Ember after V.

Thanks, Nige. I know you're a fan (or prisoner!) of cryptic clues, as well. Sometimes I'll see a word on a poster or something and spend the next ten minutes trying to work out an anagram of it. NURSE!

1) A time to spoil place of worship.
2) In a flap, riled - that's how you'll find her.
3) Another month, I'll grant you.

I've mentioned this before to you, Roger, but one of my favourite crossword clues was: "Score, 2-0"
Here's another one I've just made up:
"This twit used to make pies". ::)

There both days that you stay in bed all day

They're both days where you stay in bed all day in the final quarter of the year.

They're both days.

Here is my puzzle. What is the connection between Christmas Day (DEC 25) and Halloween (OCT 31)?
They are both Pagan events in the calender.
The Christians took over Christmas day and made it their own as they did 'All halo's Eve'.... or did the Pagan's make that one there own? Either way.... pagan is the connection.

ANSWER: They are both the same.
DEC is short for DECIMAL (Base 10).
OCT is short for OCTAL (Base 8).
DEC 25 obviously is 25 in the decimal system.
OCT 31 is also 25 since 3 x 8 + 1 = 25.
For those who don't understand, here are the first 25 numbers in both bases (and you should know the first set):
DECIMAL: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
OCTAL: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31

That's what we in the trade, call b*llocks. Peter had the right answer.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary (Base 2) and those who don't.

And the third kind?
Right - had to pop out so didn't have time for a proper reply. Now I do...
Mince, we only have your word for it that it makes any kind of sense. I'm sure true intellectuals don't feel the need to show off. Did Einstein show off? Did HE stay in bed all day?::)

I think that was getting to technical in the trade Peeps.

Responsible for his education you have to be kidding.
Except that the fridge kept emptying we never saw him from the time he bought his spectrum computer. Till he went to uni.

Excellent, Roger. Just the final one to get. There must be millions more months to have to go through. ::)
-
Um...I'll go and have my dinner and see if that helps.
-
Okay. Enjoy your food. Sorry about the " ::) ". It was a spare one I had put aside for Mince.
I'll give you a clue. The month is the shortest one by name, begins with M, and has only 3 letters.

Is it Walt Disney?
Oops, sorry - wrong forum. :-[

Hmm. I'll grant you it's cryptic.
