Found this Jumbo very frustrating. Many of the clues/definition seem very marginal! Glad to have finally finished it, but cannot parse answer to 3 Down. Help please.
"Ringing of bells in Brussels, unbearably loudly, always starts in Herge's Belgium?" (16).
Answer is "Tintinnabulalion". Will someone kindly explain parsing.
Thanks

tintinnabulaTion is "ringing of bells". Did the clue have "Belgian" rather than "Belgium"? Tintin is Herge's Belgian boy detective.

first letters of Brussels Unbearably Loudly Always

tintin nation

Very good, jazzy - good clue too!

...and the clue did say Belgium : (nation)

That's great. Thank you all.

Reported.

Update!
There was a spam ad posted earlier which I "reported".
Norah has zapped it!
