Welcome to CLUE CHAIN.

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being - see below.

15 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Game usually finishes about 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:

Ball bearing - lacking in first department follow second (5)

Just to reassure you, rambler - I'm here! (No idea about your clue, though)

It's an &lit clue - you're looking for a pair of homographs.

Likewise rambler. Here and clueless

i'm here too but also no idea

Shot in the dark Disco????

Thanks bobs mum but no.

Doesn't fit but I like jock strap....

Is the "bearing" a compass point?

I have to go out now. But hoping to join in later on....have fun

You got the right sense, chrise.
