This site is too much. I'm getting ads for "local sluts" who are dying to meet me. (Who knew? They must be crossword fans.) Perhaps that's where the term "pop-up ads" came from.

Please don't be upset Jolan - everyone is allowed a slight indiscretion every now and then :)

Hi AB
Wouldn't " I bide my time, hiding in the same place" work by itself?

It's especially easy for Ms. Jazz and I to forgive you, Jolan.

In the little time I had I spotted seafarer straight away.
Good clues Jolan, but I still don't get the warthog bit!

There once was a warthog and he lived happily ever after. Nite-nite Ari. Close those baby-blues.

ab really had a full house if I hadn't put in my stupid miscount. I'll sent my words to an accountant next time (or to a school child).

Methinks I've done enough grovelling. I APOLOGISE once again and here is my working.

1. to dry up = sear; charge = fare; “in” = sea(fare)r = SEAFARER = tar

2. subtractive anagram + a wee subterfuge? (keeping out + transforming + air in motion = wind) of “window-pane – wind” = WEAPON = foil (say)

3. It’s ‘in’ there = hiding; IBIDEM = in the same place (amongst the warthogs!!)

4. money = lolly; crack = gag; and ‘connecting’ yields LOLLYGAG = to caress, esp publicly (Chambers def).

5. SHOULD HAVE SHOWN (6). So solly!

child = ch; brave = cree; the comma = a misleader; going inside yields, cre(ch)e = CRÈCHE = a model representing the scene of Christ's nativity (Chambers def)

Yes, I would say so, but as distractor it certainly seems to have worked......
