CLUELESS 2005

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue-setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given solution.

The winner of the previous week’s competition both sets and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge’s decision is final; reasons may or may not be given at the judge’s discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

To be fair to others, please do not make any comments on entries until after the winner has been declared.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome!

Feel free to add an explanation if you feel it will help.

Clues to be submitted by 21.00 GMT tomorrow (Wednesday 11th March) with the result being announced soon after.

This week's solution to be clued is:

Better late than never (6,4,4,5)

Good luck and have fun!

Apologies for this being much later than normal...

Dead punter worth waiting for? (6,4,4,5)

Even the Tartan Treble could be worth waiting for! (6,4,4,5)

Tenth nerve treatable if operated on , not necessarily urgent (6,4,4,5)

Recovered somehow at an eleventh hour, finally; you could say that! (6,4,4,5)

Short credit? No way! I’d rather die first. Saved at the last minute (6, 4, 4, 5)

Potius sero quam nunquam !! At last Livy said it.

Comparatively, tardy pigs might fly after gambler finished last - but he made it! (6,4,4,5)

Never threaten battle, maybe, like Blucher at Waterloo (6,4,4,5)
