Interrogate and charge Unionist with on-site massacre (8)

My shortlist included paul 5, jimmyg 21, mprs 3 (to=beside or near, so 3 works fine for me), jono 8 and jono 19. Final two included jimmy 21 (great (if grisly) surface and the only clue to note that Q=electric charge), but in the end I went with the clue that cleverly observed that both balloons and questions can get popped, jono 8:

Voyage for one last couple in balloon - might it get popped? (8)

Congrats to jono and thanks to all for playing.

Their version of Steely Dan's "My Old School" is amazing.

Many thanks Buddy! And thanks for introducing us to Leonid and Friends, I’ve listened to three already, great stuff!

Don’t know why Q=charge isn’t used more often, esp. when I=current is so ubiquitous (this has been noted in my little book of tricks:-)

Cheers all, see you next week…

congrats jono and thanks buddy

Well done Jono, great clue. Thanks buddy for the mention. As a science teacher Q representing electrical charge was my first thought. Loved the clips, great band.

[what's your speciality, jimmy? mine was chemistry, with a bit of biology and IT]

Chemistry, but taught A level physics for a few years too.

Well done, Jono, and cheers, Buddy.

Congratulations, jono, and thanks, buddy.

Thanks for the well considered adjudication, buddy, and well done, Jono. Q for charge is a new one to me - will be watching out for it.
