As I saw it, Molly Malone is Cockney slang for phone, which a charger is used for. Orse is Cockney horse.

Well I guess I'll never know about the Orse, I suspect it could be related to the box to which ginge tastefully alluded in post #27.
Other highlights included fiery's cryptic def a#7, ixion's dig at the corpulent gentry #13 and seamus' deft compound anagram #23.
Loads more to like as well so thanks everyone for keeping Clueless going,

The clue I thought ticked all the boxes was mattrom #21

Singer pens rag, playing a platter (7)

Nice surface and clever wordplay that gave me the "penny drop moment"

I liked this when I saw it and bookmarked it for a future prize

might not be everyone's cup of tea so here's some maths fun

Congrats mattrom - brilliant clue.

Thanks BBM2, and for the clips. Great camera work on the first. 3/4 on the second (and I don't think the third was a fair question!)
