Not Just Royal Or Sky

Do you too find that when you learn something new, reminders of it suddenly start appearing all around you?

blue-squander

Last week I discovered a new meaning for the word BLUE, when I met with this clue in FT 13071 (Alberich):
Spend millions – half of capital – acquiring old film with graphic images (4, 5)
'to blue' means 'to squander'.

Within 3 days, the same BLUE popped up in the Times. Well I was ready for it this time!
