Oh lovely! Good solving today. Greetings also to Chrise Ari, Trevor and ab.
Tops (5/5) this week Trevor, Ari and AB, with AB providing the perfect parsing. I often wonder if AB is ME :-)) {so close is the parsing} I'll include my own just to show how close they are.
1. It’s “in” there! HAVOC
2. over = done; the (turbulent) = eth + r = river; d(eth + r)one = DETHRONE = topple
3. as an alternative = or; current = tide; current reversal = edit; “following” = edit + or; liaise (freely) = ialise; edit + or + ialise = EDITORIALISE = produce leaders (free interpretation)
4. keep = fort; present = here; line = cord; fort + here+ cord = FOR THE RECORD = in order to get the facts right (Chambers def)
5. subtractive anag (out & prepared) of “what we sourly” – “to wash” = WURLEY = an Aboriginal hut (Chambers def).
Thanks all and , in particular, thanks to AB for the "full monte"
I'm off out to a meeting now.
Bless
