Hi also, Ari, Rossim, Emrach and Jazzy (yep! for 1, Nope! for 2). Ah! They seem to be causing a wee spot of bother this week. I'll hang around for a few more minutes as I've got to go out for a few hours. Would be a shame to give the game away too soon.

Super RE and Rosie, you posted while I typed. I'm going to clash-ma-clavers with my neighbour. He'll be surprised, he's Welsh :)

I had #5. I'll very hesitantly post my other way-out possibilities.

3. USHER?
4. STONECHAT?

4) parachute?

Been out and about, and only got 1 and 5 before leaving. Tried to do something with (f)actor for 3 but couldn't see it. Popped in for Clueless but have to get back to doing my taxes (yikes!). Will ruminate while number-crunching...

Hi Jolan Yes only the one

Clash ma clavers (or Clish Ma Clavers)

For the favours I was working with elected minus EEC but couldn't get any further

And tried to make Actor work for No 3 but failed.

Thanks for the challenge Take Care and I look forward to seeing the parsing xx

Hi jolan
I am a southerner and would not have got #5 if I'd sat here for 100 years.
I convinced myself actor was right (silly me)
Like Chris I considered stonechat for #4 but only from the def, first and last letters. I thought it was your sort of word.
Thank you for a real challenge.

Well! What a surprise. This hasn't happened for ages. I'll put a few letters in and give it till 2100 (or so).

2. ?B?R?I?? (This is in Chambers as a US word)

3. ??M??

4. ??R??L??E

Hope I'm not dragging it out a bit too long?
Wouldn't want to lose any of you.
