There is a new exhibition opening tonight at then Hungarian Cultural Centre in Covent Garden about The Match Of The Century[^]. It was the first time England lost at Wembley, going down 3-6 to the Mighty Magyars. A few months later Hungary beat them 7-1 in Budapest; still England's heaviest defeat.
I thought only the Hungarians had any interest in this anniversary, but even Aunty has a piece[^].

"Gold woven into the fabric of books can be wretched"(10)
Not hard at all, so I expect it solved quickly.
---------------------------------
Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur .

Each of those words makes perfect sense.
In combination, however...

Gold woven into the fabric = LAME
books = NT
can = ABLE
LAMENTABLE = wretched

Think of it with an accent on the e - and light entertainers in sparkly gold jackets.

Latching onto Stewart's explanantion of LAME. In fencing (sabre and foil) you wear a LAME (pronounced lar-may) which is a woven type of jacket containing a metallic (conductive) material. When your opponent makes contact on the lame with the point of the foil or the blade in sabre it activates a light on the scoring box. The use of lame is consistent with DD's CCC clue.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

It's a matter of practice & learning some conventions
Books often refers to the bible, which has 2 testaments OT & NT
Other arcane reference are
ancient city - Ur
Hell - Dis
I have just discovered this http://mythic-beasts.com/~mark/random/indicators/[^]

The sheet is not complete, merely a starting point.
You must add your own definitions too.

Last night, first Eldest and then Ickle started to womit; this is the same as vomitting but Ickle still pronounces it with a 'w'. They emptied their guts and carried on retching all night. I've just heard one, Eldest I believe, having another go.
Obviously, they are both off school today. A day when I am supposed to be cramming. I have a telephone interview this evening, but I am already pooped with the entire day ahead. I need [another] ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) .

What did you feed the poor ickle darlin's? You big cruel person you!

They have eaten exactly the same as Mrs Wife and I so it's not that. We did go to our club yesterday and I suspect they took in a fair amount of water from the pool. Maybe this will teach them to keep their mouths shut when swimming.

The only good bit of that is that it shouldn't have an effect at both ends...

Maybe you disinfected yourself drinking vast amounts of gin . A possible advantage your children don't have (hopefully )

You should give them instead of Barack Pálinka[^]...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

My neighbouring cow-orker has just gone home due to extreme womitting so I'm now scrubbing my hands before lunch and hoping against hope that he's taken it all with him.
