Hi. I've now done the first four but am still 'attempting' no 5. Has anybody else except terry done them all?

The penny has just dropped for no 5.

Hi Jolan

Just saw these. I liked all 6- particularly number 5. I think it is ok to have a mix of difficulty levels. It enables people starting out to have a go.

I thought 5 was more difficult than 6 incidentally.

Keep up the good work

I've solved no 6 and agree with djawhufc.

1- Beast of burden (cryptic definition of an animal carrier)
2-Sit in (IT in sin(error)
3-Fell (Double definition) level as in chop down or fell and a hill is also called a fell)
4-Unfeigned Anagram of fudgenine
5- Push the envelope (cryptic definition- something a postman does through a letterbox and doing something seemingly impossible)
6- Vile speaking. (Anagram of elvis) viles + pea king (marrowfat ruler)

Hi Jolan.Thanks for the competition- here are my 'attempts' :)

beast of burden
sit-in
fell
unfeigned
next day delivery
vile-speaking

OK, you can start laughing now:
1.queen of desert
2.pop-up
3. cast
4. unfeigned
5. stop the circular
6. vile-speaking

Evening Jolan,

Only got 1 and 4 this week. Should have got No 3, being a hill-walker!
Ah well, try again next week!
Valiant effort Jazzgirl!
Cheers

Got sit-in, unfeigned and vile-speaking.
3 out of 6 that's good for me! Really enjoyed tussling with them all on this very dreary November afternoon, thanks Jolan.

Looks like others found them easier than I did. Got them all (eventually) except 3. Thought it might be fell, but wasn't sure about it meaning to level.
