"Bury that which can be dug up for ever."(12)
Simple enough
---------------------------------
Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur .

|
Interminable - forever
Inter = bury
That which can be dug up - minable

There are different types of "criptic-ness".
The answer to a clue can be a composite (as above), or an anagram, a subset of contiguous character from the clue, a homophone or some other cleverness.
for example the clue "HIJKLMNO / lb" (5,5) would be "heavy water" because it is "H to 0" (H20) over "lb" (weight)
the clue "gegs" (9,4) would be "scrambled eggs"

I see now That I just missed the Inter - "place (a corpse) in a grave or tomb, typically with funeral rites."
Now it makes sense

Emulation proved no problem, one would suppose tool-use for processing may also follow at some point.
In any case, it'd be a more interesting screaming match than my current living arrangements provide.

The madness is that Segways, which are mega-cool are illegal on roads and on pavements in the UK. Campaigners have been trying to get this changed for years but fully automated cars, well that's fine.
>In December, the Treasury said it would create a £10m prize to fund a town or city to become a testing ground for the cars.
I'd suggest a fleet of automated cars with V8 engines. Luton could do with the cash.

Driverless cars would do a better job than most of the idiots I see on the A1 everyday. Just saying.
|

I would have said that if you hadn't. As far as the traffic here is concerned, 95% of the cars might as well be driverless...

Yes, usually BMWs in my experience, although Audis are bad also.
I'd like to use an expletive to describe them, but this is the lounge.

For me it was always two women in a Mini. The amount of time they can spend looking at each other while they are talking is frightening.

I thought that Luton would be better off with a fleet of automated Bulldozers?

That sounds scary! I need to get a coffee urgently, but I'm worried that I'm being stalked by the BSOD now...
