Well thank you Tex... hehe.. you did almost give it to us.. i hope i am allowed to give you a karma point for putting up with the sheer frustration of us posters that you are so kindly tolerating..

sleep well.. and thank you for the ongoing game.. perhaps i can submit one to try to frustrate you.. hehe
okay.. city.. 3 clues
1. Preposition
2. Something you do in a saucepan
3. Large body of water.
Perhaps i am a little too easy on my clues..
