The Whopper
Solve the crossword and the highlighted letters answers the question:
5D has a tattoo of who on his shoulder? (3,6)

Roulette
There is an error in this issue. The question is 'Which J is the month in which the shortest day falls?' As the only remaining options were Jupiter and June, I think the question should have referred to the longest day. The last remaining word is the answer.

3 x speaker blankets
Picnic blanket with inbuilt speaker

Jimmy Choo shoes or £363

Brain Drainer
Solve the crossword and the highlighted letters provide the answer to the following:
Haphephobia is the fear of being what? (7)

& the last letter is D

crispydragonfly

Thank you for confirming firefly.

Just to clarfy, there were 2 crossword clues to enable me to get the final letter D for the puzzle.
The first was a picture clue CHRIS ADDISON (3rd letter of surname)
The second was comptuer part. I had _ _ D _ M and entered MODEM (3rd letter)

I trust that this explains the answer.

As the question was - "the fear of being what"

The answer touched makes sense

"the fear of being touched"

while touches does not

"the fear of being touches"

hannonle

Thanks everyone. It just didn't quite sound right and I wanted to check it.

[STRIKE]A fear of being touched, rather than a fear of touched.
A fear of touching of touches.[/STRIKE]

Sorry, didn't see the word 'being' in the clue. No wonder it didn't make sense to me!

And I've typed that so many times it seems such a weird word!
