Pollock is a common food fish (at least over here) but also the painter who tossed paint randomly over the canvas. Greens tossed with oil are a salad, but the surface is green pigments in oil medium. Yeah, a bit layered.

Nonsensical surface, but I couldn't resist the fodder:

Caesar, perhaps, could make Ted Lasso sad (6.5)

My understanding is that the show did not have quite the same impact in UK that it had in US.

I think I’ll wrap up as I don’t think there will be any more entries at this stage.

Thanks to all who entered this week’s Clueless challenge. Lots of good entries.

Paul@35 gets the silver. I think it needs a “?” by way of DBE but I enjoyed the Waldorf reference (see below)…

Bung about 500 to cover bad deals made at the Waldorf (6,5)

My winner though is Geting@38 with well disguised definition, and one that embraces both the ‘tossed’ element as well as the ‘salad’…

First hints of a dire day - seat loss upset leaves Greens shaken (6,5)

I used to think that a single letter couldn’t be indicated as a ‘first’ letter, but Buddy convinced me I was wrong :-)

Congratulates Geting, here are your prizes…

Tossed…

Congratulations also to Fiery for winning the bonus challenge.

Here’s a fiendish question from the Only Connect “what comes fourth in the sequence” round…
