Schorley, what was the deliberate mistake in your post on 8th July at 21.48? I couldn't spot it.

Cloverjo - 'to'.

Exactly right

Excellent in my view. Easy, yes, but clever and satisfying. And spared an arcane end game.

First class Smellyharry - utter absence of rings in thy message!

I have answered each clue except seven and five while elude me. Minimise my misery please.

PS Clue title should have been Isildur's Bane /nerd.

I meant "which" not while.

5. 4 letter word for disturbed water trail + N(navy) defn ..stir up
7. usual 3 letter word for beer with 5 letter word for (beau ...olden days word) + d for died ...it's a foreign word defn dancing

the 3 letter beer has the other 2 bits inside(steeped in)

Hi laertes

For clue 5, you need a four-letter word meaning "disturbed water trail" plus N for navy and "stir up" is the definition.

For clue 7, a very old English five-letter word for sweetheart plus D for died both go inside a three letter word for beer, and the definition is a German dance.
