CLUELESS 247

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and 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.

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

This week's word to be clued is

HOBBYHORSE (10)

Clues to be submitted by 9pm (UK time) on Wednesday 30th December with the winner being announced shortly after.

Obsession with snow (10)

Dada movement? (10)


I'm not sure if this counts as a cryptic clue, really. The "Dada" Art Movement took their name from French for "hobbyhorse" "learned from "Round Britain Quikz" this week!)

Shy hero Bob wields a head on a stick (10)

Preoccupation from pursuit of nag (10)

Her boobs are displaying with hot unknown obsession (10)

Anagram of H + Y + HERBOOBS

Boosh is broken and by her fixation (10)

Costume for dancing with Nijinsky ? (10)

Decorating "Silver" toy (10)

Bird fixing heroin seen on merry-go-round (10)
