Good morning friends. Herewith my clues for this week. Hope you enjoy. J

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 (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Dismissal of sailors’ call to exertion (5-2)
2. Sound gag takes first place (5,3,4)
3. It’s an elusive and deceptive person who’ll sip it, we resolve (4-1-3-4)
4. Beat it without animation at first, expressing pain to a bragging cowardly buffoon (10)
5. Nightcap can result in wild speculation? (1,4,2,3,4)

I'll be off-air for a week or two. More details at the end of the day

Thanks as always Jolan for another 5 entertaining clues.

Are they a tad easier than usual as I got them all pretty quickly?

I hope to be back later, but if not I hope whatever you are doing the next two weeks goes well.

Regards Tony

Will be at the dreaded dentist at reveal time...but will be back.

what is it with this business of posting early to say you've got 'em all. I got all five within a nanosecond and I expect rambler got them all before jolan finished posting them.

I posted as I am going out and am not sure when I will be back. I wanted to wish Jolan well in whatever he was doing.
I can't quite see what the issue is.

Well done on solving the clues in a nanosecond.

Rambler is preoccupied with moles. Ten to one he goes with the petrol.

Oh, and I only got four of them in a nanosecond, but we have star-nosed moles and you don't, so there.

Just having a peek in, before going to the shops (15 miles away). Nice to 'see' you Tony, P@, Ari and Phillip.
They were meant to be a very little bit easier this week (I'm not really into very difficult clues - I like the clues to be obvious when the solutions are seen)

Great going Phillip! I must confess I'm not a great solver myself. I tend to struggle.
