Thanks Geting, I had it down as a cryptic definition, I was just worried I’d missed something :-)

Thanks to all who took part in this week’s Clueless challenge. As tricky to judge as you may have found to set clues for; I make no apologies :-)
Pleased to see some of you picked up on the juxtaposition of Shakespeare and Huxley.
Raffles’ ”Wonderbra” was a good spot, and I was amused to see that the Chambers definition of said bra leaves little to the imagination.

Enjoyed…
Will’s Spoonerism and Marx reference
Fj@27’s anagram
Buddy@15 (I preferred the optimist’s version)
Tyke@11 state for the “comfortably numb” (see below)
Swarbs@32’s rather neat “novel novel novel”

Runner-up is Raffles@9 with “Novel and daring symphony”.

And the winner is Aristo for clever wordplay and a neat reference to the novel…

Getting fresh with everyone after weather that seizes your spirit (5,3,5)

Congratulations Aristo, here are your prizes…
