Ooh, ago's clue is a bit tough - I tried decade, century, eon, age - then I discover you actually wanted me to complete a phrase!

I found it hard, too. Now that I see what it is, I think I should have figured it out.... Tough one, though.

If we are supposed to finish a quote, the quote should probably be put.....in quotes?

Me too. Word scrambles are slow and not using knowledge as Q and A so I don't like them, but it's oddly rewarding to get an answer.

Would silk not also fit perfectly for the clue "luxurious, shiny fabric". It obviously doesn't fit with the city but its tough to get the city before both words.

You find ash in ashtrays, not fireplaces, that's where soot or dust is found

Soot is from smoke. Ash is left over when you burn something. That's why a woodstove has an ash pan in the bottom with an ash scoop in an ash pail beside it.

Yea you mean cigaretash. Ash is what you get when you burn wood. Dust is generally made up from skinflakes and pethair, and you need to vacuum because of it. I hope you dont vacuum the fireplace !

As usual for these, interesting concept but too little time.

I'm embarrassed to say that I always thought Tel Aviv was the capital of Israel. I agree with Kalbahamut, too little time -- this kind of puzzle takes a bit of thought.

Okay, I'll submit a couple more minutes. Apart from one capital city, all the others are sitting below 30%, so it is proving quite tough in just four minutes.

Since Jerusalem is disputed territory pretty much all foreign governments do not recognize it as the capital of Israel. The Knesset (Israeli seat of government) is there, but most if not all foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv.

The 'capital city' column isn't aligned with the two answer columns on either side. This makes it even harder. Please fix this - using a laptop!

I've submitted a change that fixes the misalignment. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't think knead/massage works for rub. Rub is touching the surface and with massage/knead you manipulate the matter underneath not the surface. Stroke comes closer to rub. My first guess was mix, and i couldn't think of anything else that could represent knead.

Stroke with friction (or pressure) is a better way to describe rubbing I think

This was hard! I couldn't figure out any of the cities—not one—until I actually typed the letters into the answer field, taking (generally) one letter from the left and one from the right. Then the answer leaped out at me.
