i kinda get #2, don't get #1
― ledge, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Journalists one is nice. Quite like the 4-5 too.
Crucial for #1: peach = betray, accuse

Ohhhh.. #2: double def, front sight of a gun
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I just looked up peach on thesaurus.com - still couldn't make it fit into an answer, right enough.
― ailsa, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
this is total new word def day for me. Wait! Very!

― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Ey thanks and kudos to GP for this shot in the arm btw
Cor, also did not know about bead = sight on a gun. This is very informative (and pretty obscure) stuff all round.
― ailsa, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Can someone explain 'lately indebted'? I get #1 and the 'bang' one now, thanks guys.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
and i'd like to thank the makers of the chambers iphone app for helping me find these ridic words
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Lately indebted basically other way of saying overdue, no?
― ailsa, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I think it's just an &lit: 'lately indebted' = late on your debts = arrears
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:29 (thirteen years ago) link
that was xp
I knew bead = sight on gun, but didn't click.
yeah arrears just late on debt

'wearer of a necklace' not really sure bout this part though
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link
necklaces have beads. sometimes. this is the weakest thing yet imo.
― ledge, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the rest of that batch are pretty solid clues tho

How does the 'council' one work?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
you pay rates based on the value of your house as determined by the council, right?
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:46 (thirteen years ago) link
so if they 'don't appreciate' etc- underrated
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Ah, right, right. Good work everyone!

dawn broke in not so poor a way as this (9)
i have the answer, can post in rot-13, but for the life of me the dawn broke part is as well to be a random addition.
― "It's far from 'loi' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Monday, 9 August 2010 22:02 (thirteen years ago) link
aye, rot-13 it because I can't figure it, but might be able to figure it back?

OK, nothing leaping out at me. I can see the use of "broke", I can see "not so poor as way as this", but can't see how they would fit together at all?
Would put good money on ledge cracking it though.
― ailsa, Monday, 9 August 2010 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link
dawn, i mean wtf?
― "It's far from 'loi' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Monday, 9 August 2010 22:26 (thirteen years ago) link
