Inspired by a recent dispute about the quality of certain clues, I've decided to give you 10 of my own that all have something in common:
1.A rare Mig between black & white 5,8
2. Edit tiny comedy device 8,8
3. Dub a small flower with leaves 5,3
4. Kg in hint as to unclear mental process (7,8)
5. Stun a variety in a bag 5,4
6. Ditzy 6,8
7. Aimed to create different communication methods 5,5
8. Rough "th" got by 7,7
9. Fast toe for panic 5,2,9
10. He,dead,is confused 6-6
Hope you have fun & can excuse what some might criticize as missing hints!

i'd question #10 as there is more than 1 possibility for the 1st word(i think).
no idea what the Ditzy one is (and some of the others).

nr 10: I can only see one other alternative,I would say mine is the more obvious of the two, but would accept others anyway:this was not meant to be taken too seriously!
The "ditzy" one is rather the exception: I only just met the word and threw it in for a lark as it fits the theme! As I said already, I beg forgiveness : purists will not approve of my deliberately ignoring one or two "rules", I realize! Maybe it still has some entertainment value --- I hope...

Yes indeed, Andy! welcome to the table! You're on the right track: now everything should be plain sailing! Do make suggestions: I'd like to wrap this thing up at the end of the evening (no sleepless nights etc...)

thank God for s'one on the same wavelength! I like all your solutions, though in fact I had a different one for nr 9: maybe mine's slightly more precise, but no matter. Can I help you at all on the last few?
