No no that's totally fair, I don't expect anyone else to share my enthusiasm for forced wretched spoonerisms.

unmoved, yeah (inertia=lethargy); moves uniformly, yeah (1st law of motion); not sure about the middle one.

totally thought "amnesia" was for the "curiously moved" one, possibly via anagram of "animates" with some letters missing in a way that I didn't understand yet

I am well used to not understanding things and try not to put it down to anyone else being a dick tbf
(don't always succeed, but on the crossword thread I usually do)

we are of divergent personality types imo
― j'en ai cache (darraghmac), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
I thought it was inertia but was hung up on one of the 'moves' meaning 'it's an anagram' and couldn't get it to work

I've lost my mojo
re: the guardian, did anyone do araucaria's easter prize double? i'm sure he thinks running the clues together is terribly clever but the surface reading just ends up being garbled nonsense.
