Evening all,

Please take a look at the page below for this week's idea and then see what you can come up with from these two words/phrases:

1 Across = Movable feast (7,5)

17 Down = Fast (4)

We'll keep it simple I think and run the contest from now until Sunday evening. Would it be acceptable to say the contest will stay open until 9pm Sunday evening and the voting will start then until Monday at 12:00 noon. The voting will be the same as Peer Review, where all that enter a clue will get a vote.

If it works OK, we'll refine it as it progresses.

Good Luck

Not sure if I've got the hang of it (oops). A critique would be appreciated.

17D precedes Easter (7,5)

Fixed 1A. No longer on the go, and save a Euro (4)

Just having a quick look in before I retire.

Syzzie, Good evening, you don't have to write two clues per entry. The idea is to write a clue using one of the words/phrases as the primary clue and using reference to the other in its wordplay or definition.

Your efforts above are two separate attempts to be judged on their own merits individually.
So, you have entered twice now.
The idea was that if anyone can't think of a clue for one of the words, then they can attempt the other, kinda giving the choice of two possibilities.

I hope that makes sense, if not, let me know.

17d is 1a after i've dropped an E. It's all messed up. (7)

oh dear! not really getting this (my word was anagram).

oh i see!
i can set a clue to either word/phrase, but i would have to use the other word in the clue?

I'm not sure I've got it either, but I'll try

1a. It's not 17d to indulge in the contents of the Yum Cha trolley (7,5)

fast as in fixed

17D: Promiscuous, like 1A with dates (4)

ref - Chambers.

... & there's Trevor. I needed your support on PR 171.

1A: Not 17D, but with eastern influence it can be a picnic on the go (7,5)

Not sure I've "clicked " yet, but:

1a) On skates 17d consumed eastern take away (7,5)
