Good morning friends. Happy solving!

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!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm BST (GMT+1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Nice! One’s out after ten years for corruption (9)
2. Suffers most awful cash crisis (8)
3. Forms of delivery prepared for conflict? (9)
4. A companion set member to writing straight, for example (5,4)
5. Flying Officer’s pounded once again at the front (10)

morning jolan,another fine selection to ponder over.sdrager Nytram.

1. Decadence.
2. Stomachs.
3. Underarms.
4. Poker hand.
5. Foreground.

Hi Jolan- thanks for another five well set clues and my suggested solutions are-
1) DECADENCE - corruption - DECADE (ten years) + NICE less I (one's out)

2) STOMACHS - Suffers - anag (awful) MOST &
anag (crisis) CASH

3) UNDERARMS - forms of delivery (cricket),and 'prepared for conflict'

4) POKER HAND - A 'straight' for example in POKER ( companion set (fireplace) HAND (member to writing)

5) FOREGROUND -At the front - FO (flying officer) RE GROUND (pounded once again)

sorry about that. my pc said 5.00pm.

I have
1 decadence
2 Stomachs
3 Underarm
4 Poker fac, and
5 Forerunner

Sorry 4 meant to read Poker face. but I see Poker hand might fit better. In a Court of law I could argue face as in 'typeface'. But I guess I'd lose!

Hey I just looked. I think Forerunner has a case. (as in pounding the streets) Again it would lose but what the heck!

For what it's worth, I prefer FOREGROUND

Thanks all

Nicely solved T.A.W., Tony (super-clear explanations), Neilm and Wendy.

Neilm,
see Tony's analysis.

Off to dinner now. Bless!
