Good morning all. Hope today's offering will entertain. Happy solving! J

I set clues just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few ? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. It’s even more disagreeable in private (6)

2. Keep this mangy rat enclosed in a surrounding circle (6)

3. Three awful cyberterrorist platitudes, each one following the first, reveal emotional fervour (4)

4. Top hand deployed at the King’s convenience? (5,5)

5. Avoided by nice manoeuvring and not by dead reckoning (7)


PS. I’m taking three Tuesdays off from 5 @ 5 and hope to post again on Tuesday August 20th. In the meanwhile I’ll peek in to the forum from time to time. Jolan

Hi Jolan, I believe that I have 4 and 5. I'm playing golf today (weather permitting, thick mist here)..so won't be back until much later.

Enjoy your break and thank you as always.

Just popped in for some lunch but will be out this afternoon. Will try and look in later.
I've got #4 so far.

#3 as well now....very neat.

Hi jolan
I like #4 - will give some more thought to the others

#5 as well.

I'll look in later - have a good break and thanks again.

Another look - saw #2 as well.

Is there a redundant word in #2? If not, I'm not so sure I've got it now!

I've a guess for #3 - will try to parse it now.

and #2

The solution for #2 not a redundant word Chris...if that's what you meant?
