      Steve, put him out his misery, I know you got it, He got it first, but he doesn't have the solution. Fill him in, I cannot act in this.

        I thought it was Number Cruncher at first, but it didn't fit. Do'h! It is Number something I am pretty sure.

        And Dave can't count! :laugh: "Economic woes currently follows anaesthetic, then hesitates to produce a super Computer?" (6,8 not 7) Anaesthetic = number economic woes = crunch hesitates = er

          Done. I was thinking of "ether" as the anaesthetic but "ethernet" was too long and I got stuck!

            Put SOLUTION in your subject line. Well done (with help). (Although, Economic Woes Currently is Crunch. I try to ensure EVERY word is used)

              The downside of course is Cruncher is eight letters rather than seven :)

                You have the Right answer and get a load of Bonus Man Points, but you didn't give the solution. Number Cruncher is right, see below for Solution).

                      I was originally clueing as Crunchers, (I was going with Cray Twins) had cruncher in mind (eight leters) took the S off crunchers and obviously arrived at 7! Tuesdays Brain seems to be firing on 3 cylinders! Apologies for Dim Setter Problem.

                            Very picky! In my locality answer and solution mean the same thing :) Next time I'll post my working (or in Dalek Exterminator Speak - my solution :) )

                                      I think it is a bit more than that - The exterminator will let us know I'm sure I think it is a combination of anesthetic and hesitation. Anesthetic provides the "numb" and "er" is the hesitation.
