Jolan - you are right..rather pointless hanging on til 5
1. Bags (lay claim to - I bags it) also great deal -
2. Heart surgeon - hear t s urge on
3. Dost - old word for Do - sounds like Dust - clean (vocal - sound)
4 ins and outs - anagram of saints undo (byzantine = complicated)
5. astarboard - a star board

I've also thought of anagrams with OLD (old-fashioned) and VOCAL. LAVO (minus the C) = clean.
chris, you are right: there's no doubt I will be kicking myself!

Absolutely spot on Chrisg (as per usual). The "old-fashioned" is an "archaic" indicator.

Would you be willing to be first judge on Terry's suggested comp? Who would do it better?

A million thanks all my friends (I think of you like that) for having a go.

XX, I wonder what satisfaction you got from spoiling our harmless bit of fun? I find it almost impossible to understand your mindset.

Still thinking Terry. Hard to think while atill blushing at your kind remarks.

I actually thought of DUST this morning when I was thinking of words for cleaning.

Somewhat later, I tried fleetingly to come up with some "ye olde" type word but failed to think of any and in any case, did not connect that attempt with DUST.

Only connect...as I think EM Forster said.

Hi all,

Please refer back to post 23.

As you must know by now,

I think everybody is entitled to my opinion.

As only an occasional contributor I feel a little presumptious adding my views but Terry's idea of a rolling clue sounds like a valuable addition to an already emjoyable site.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Given the incredibly high number of morons per square gigabite on here success is probably not an option. Could be fun though.

Your pessimism may prove justified but most of us using the site are well used to the liberal use of moron filters.
