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 judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

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

Clues should be submitted by 06:00 pm BST on Wednesday, 9th August, with the winner to be announced shortly after.

Since today just happens to be mine, the answer to be clued is:

BIRTHDAY (8)

Have fun and feel free to explain your clue.

An example of something good for you - the more you have, the longer you live! (8)

Labour reign - it only comes round once a year! (8)

Annual celebration reduced by a third? (8)

Dry habit to uncover suit perhaps (8)

Wicked blowout? (8)

Bard: " I thy treacherous memory of bloody anniversary do thee all fain serve"

(8)

Date of my first slap and tickle maybe? (8)

I thought the word might be a bit difficult to clue. I should stop being surprised by the ingenuity of you all. A high standard throughout already. Anyway, off "Skye-walking."
