Is or the unclued??? Here I am, glass of wine in hand.

The unclued I have is more usually used with another word following...

Thanks both - is the first syllable a word for phone call?

Nelson, yes.

Jogamel, sorry I butted in! Glad to hear you found today's Inquisitor pretty straightforward. It was a lot easier than many recent ones.

Thanks again. Now just stuck on 27d. I have the grid entry, but can't convert it to any 'B' that I know.

27 D doesn't change, Nelson.

Oh dear. And I've been wracking my brains over it. Don't ask me why - I can't even think of a good excuse. Seems I can even make the easiest puzzle difficult. Thanks for putting me out of my misery.

We've probably all been there, Nelson - making life/crosswords harder than necessary! Maybe the last word in 27 D sent your brain off at a tangent?

Yes, that's it!

It's always better to have a reason, any reason, for leading yourself astray.
