1 is a classic jolan clue - as you don't join in often, you might not be aware of his style. I don't want to give away too much, but an anagram is involved, but not straightforwardly!

Now have #1,#2 and #3

Thanks for that Chris , still none the wiser-
was thinking ham radio slang for 4 but I'm no longer convinced ...

Look for the anagram indicator. However the "fodder" has too many letters.....

Got something , it looks like a latin plural ?

Sounds right!

I'm close to #4 now, but confused - either my answer is (9), not (8), or jolan has made a little slip in the clue? (Unlikely, I know!)

Stupid - my mistake, of course. I've mixed up singular and plural forms.

All done now (as long as my 5 is right)

Think I'll try my luck today:
1. THROMBI=clots;anag.("insane") of "British to dump"minus "stupid" (deductive anag.)
2. OUT OF SIGHT : two meanings, the one more modern metaphor also given in Ch.
3. TALK-IN:1st 5 wds def.; "tin" (=can) surrounding "walks" with both ends missing
4. FLAGELLA: def. "whips";flag (grow weary)+ all (every one) reversed to "e" (earth)
5. CENOTAPH:def. hollow tomb;CP (Communist Party) + H (-ungary) surround ("embrace") "at one" (=in agreement).
Thank you, Jolan: I believe I'm getting to know your mind!

1- THROMBI subtractive anag/ British to dump minus stupid
2- OUT OF SIGHT double def
3- TALK-IN (W)ALK(S) in TIN
4- FLAGELLA FLAG w ALL E reversed
5- CENOTAPH AT ONE reversed in CP H
