I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

It’s been suggested that solutions are withheld till 5 pm to allow those interested to have a go.

1. Popular supervisor becomes heartless, leading tong as a supplier of dope (9)
2. Nuncio urges bog reform without being consistent (9)
3. Penetrating remarks made about a series on TV, usually a police shocker (5)
4. Recoil from a bazooka has occasionally rattled beginners (5)
5. Looks like a disastrous harvest to a captain of industry (5)

Hi guys! Thank you II, Dopey (Terry's explained it) and Tonyw. Thanks also Trevor. Both correct, of course. I've often neglected to read the full posts myself, so quite understand. It was Terry's eccellent suggestion to request a delay. I'm sure he'll be just as forgiving, eh?

Ha,ha,ha, Terry! Good afternoon. These are about as difficult as my ability goes. I've never aspired to be an Arucaria. Ximines was my hero. Hope this week's contribution will provide a little fun. J

I meant "Trevor's explained it" two posts ago. Must be the drink!
