Unfortunately is ILL inside TRI(p) short slip and ON over.

Tnx Jono,

It was the short slip that I could not decipher....a nice cryptic clue.

Next, 22, 14A: Conductor rail, say, with AC/DC current about to flow. ANS: Barbirolli.

I get it all bar the current. Parse please .

Current gives the final I, with rail for BAR, ac/dc being BI and flow for ROLL.

Tnx again Jono,

I did not know bi in relation to AC/DC....was never top of the class when it came to physics.

Back on line again over the weekend.

Colmm, I don't think there's any physics involved - I took it that AC/DC and Bi meant the same thing, bisexual (and Chambers seems to agree)!

PS If there IS any (awful) science stuff... apologies!

Hi Malone,

I regarded AC/DC as alternating current / direct current.

And Bi as bidirectional current !!

Anyway, next, 22, 28A: Discourage divisive juvenile court cases. ANS: Deject.

Parse please as I cannot quite work it out. I do get ct and court.

Cases are the first and last letters
