I'm still out and about, but it just occurred to me that I have an iPhone. Got 'em all. Nice ones.

Hi all; Ginge, Chrise, Rossim, Ari and Jazzy. Great to see 'em 'coming out'. I hope Ari is not solving on his iphone whiilst driving!!

Not using it to solve, just to post- while sitting in a waiting room. If I'm behind the wheel at noon (your 5) I promise not to endanger the lives of drivers who aren't into crosswords- though why would they want to go on living?

#5 also

I'm afraid it took quite a while to get #2 (wrong second word) but got them all now.

Thanks for these, Jolan. Enjoyable and devious as always. Great clues.

Here is my stab at them.

1. The business jets may tap cash supply (3,4,7) – THE CAT’S PYJAMAS?
(Anagram of “jets may tap cash” can “supply” “the cat’s pyjamas”- the business?)

2. Train robbery? (5,2)- BREAK IN? (Double definition – to train an animal is to break in and a break in is a robbery?)

3. Fiercely dig with club, ending up with nothing (4,5-1)- LIKE BILLY-O? (Dig – like, with club, billy and O- nothing gives “Like billy-o” – fiercely?)

4. It describes an action in those who favour a book (8)- PROVERBS? (It describes an action – verb, inside “those who favour” – pros, gives Proverbs, a book in the bible?)

5. Predisposition to abolish the poorest, perverted and weak (7)- INSIPID? ( Subtractive anagram – predisposition minus poorest , perverted, gives insipid – weak.

Thanks again.
