Crosswords in the Sun

There was a really good clue in today's Sunday Times crossword:
How to pronounce the "h" of "aaargh"? (8)
Answer below.

I mentioned before that I'm supplementing the daily crosswords by tackling the Times Big Book of Crosswords. Mostly I like to do them in the late afternoon in the sun outside my front door....


It is a bit of a suntrap and I can watch people passing by and listen to the birdsong all around too. As for the crosswords, well I'm now over 1/4 way through the book, having passed 50 a couple of days ago.

And the answer to the clue?
ASPIRATE
Well that's how you pronounce any old "h", but in "Aaargh" it's also AS PIRATE. I laughed out loud when I got it. Possibly clue of the year so far.
