I have to hand it to you ixion, it was ingenious, but your toughest so far. Might explain the lack of takers. Looking forward to next week's (I think!)

Part 2

A final clue it's answer suggested by the link (FROGS) requires a reshuffle of the answers to No.s 1-7, ie [me/cete/rank/eyes/sigh/under/oners]

The French, according to Willie Wallace's passion, certain to embrace split, Yorks men to be routed(6-6,9 7)

Should probably add that according to Wikipaedia "The phrase has since entered two Oxford quotation dictionaries."

I've found the answer but think it is best left for peterm given how muuh work he has has done

[The French, according to Willie] [Wallace's passion], certain(sure) to embrace split(rend), Yorks men(anag) to be routed(6-6,9 7)

Well done everybody, particularly Peterm, Groundskeeper Willie of the Simpsons quote adopted by some members of the press to describe the French. Wallace being the Wensleydale lover of W and Gromit.

Apologies unnecessary jazzgirl. Ixion's gig has always been a free-for-all.

Thanks again ixion.

So sorry I had to miss this, ixion. I had connection problems, work, and my own "technical" problems with Peer Review. This looked especially daunting, not to mention un-PC. Love the Simpsons reference. When I was switching channels a few nights ago Bart appeared; as he was entering the school office the principal was saying (on the phone), "It's MY birthday, Mother, not OUR anniversary." So funny. Anyway, your usual masterful effort, and peterm's usual bravura.
