TAMORA Pierce and Hermione GRANGER might have been the other toughies, and some were just fun, like EBERT.

That changes today as I would like to submit this weed clerk who fought off three robbers with a bong after taking a face full of bear spray into that canon of all-time toughies.

The subject of the passage looked nutty in the grid (although I'm sure he was much more terrifying in the sepulchral flesh); there were a couple of toughies in the entries too, YTTERBIUM and YU DARVISH.

As a budding horticulturist (so sorry) and very earthbound Olympics fan, I also devoured certain specific clues that might have been real toughies for others, which is one of the things that make weekend puzzles weekend puzzles.

Though the two bands are separated by the generations, their coming together feels like a spiritual inevitability, if only because both Debbie Harry and Shirley Manson are toughies who have lived on the walls of angry teens' bedrooms all over the world, seemingly since the beginning of time.

With Munn as head coach and Daugherty as an assistant, the Michigan State football team compiled a record of 54–9–2. The Michigan State lines coached by Daugherty in those years became known as "Duffy's Toughies." In December 1953, following Munn's promotion to Michigan State's athletic director, Daugherty became Michigan State's head football coach, the 15th in the history of Michigan State football. He became well known for his humorous quips during press conferences.

Or, as Scrooge himself would say to Huey, Dewey and Louie: by being "tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties." In Barks's stories Scrooge would work to solve his many problems, even though the stories would often point out that his constant efforts seemed futile at the end. In addition, Scrooge was quite similar to his creator in appearing often to be as melancholic, introspective and secretive as he was. Through both characters Barks would often exhibit his rather sarcastic sense of humor.

Sue Sweeney, who appeared in many episodes, recalls that she "did everything from sunbathing on the beach at Cullercoats in the rain to a Gorilla at the fancy dress party." The young actors were all local children from the Newcastle area, and the Scunner's two toughies (Alan Snell and Brian Lewis) were local stand-up comics who performed in clubs at night. Many guest stars appeared on the programme, including George Best, Spike Milligan, Eric Bristow, Roy Kinnear and Geoff Capes. It was Patrick Troughton and Charles Hawtrey's final screen appearances.
