Welcome to CLUE CHAIN

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

The person who solves the first clue starts the next CLUE CHAIN (Thursday 5th Jan. around noon).

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot enter again, although you can still comment.

30 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

Game closes 18.00 GMT

This week's opening clue is: Bear opening church. (7)

Has anybody solved but cannot start next week? Is anybody willing to start next week who is trying to solve? Am I talking to myself?

Not solved it Rambler but at least you are not talking to yourself!!

If folks are willing to start the next game I will give hints.

Think I have it Rambler - Stomach (a clever clue!)

'bear' is in Chambers as a defn. of the answer and is used in the sense 'put up with'

Well done, anniec you did it without the hint.

STOMA CH

Your turn to post a clue.

Post Christmas brain fatigue means I can only come up with

A nice way for the pupil and worker to mix vegetables (8)

I don't think anyone is interested. anniec.

Pleasant?

I agree Rambler - we'll leave it now to 2012. And yes to pleasant. Shame so many missed your good clue!
