Hi Everyone

So far 15 setters with 35 clues, an amazing response to what I thought was a fairly difficult word due to the limited choice of anagrams.

I have to go out soon and will not be back in time to open the judging. However, I'm sure you can manage without me!
See you later.

Challenging as you say, rossim - and puzzling!

Could someone provide parses for:
dorrien @15
FJ @ 27 and 34
aristo @36
please?

Chris , just looking in. Am I allowed to parse aristo's clue?
tur (reversed) = rut (when bucks (male deer) are "going at it"
chief = key

Thanks jazzy - of course you are allowed!

I still can't persuade you to have a go?

Sorry for the late reply, been away from the computer since yesterday. Please keep it in as there are very few ways to clue the letter 'Y'.

This feels like sticking my head above the proverbial parapet! But I have to go out, so

Loved mattrom's #4, but chicken/turkey?? Also liked fjs #31 very much and Paul #6 (wink) but going for Paul #5
