Now trying to come up with an & lit clue, but can't quite do it:
You got it around blah blah blah (3)

ITU? telecommunications, = blah blah blah?
should be 1,1,1 if it is an initialism shirley.

― Suggest Gandhi (onimo), Thursday, 29 October 2009 09:49 (sixteen years ago)
yup
just for the sake of the surface i don't think it would have been too unfair to change it to keen on a horse that escapes a predator, it's clear.
― George Mucus (ledge), Thursday, 29 October 2009 09:52 (sixteen years ago)
it would have been a little laboured, but hey i set the stinkers that make the whole thread moan so...

Oh, here's a cheap one, should be no problem if you've just read the same thread as me:
Prince drops $1000 for toilet paper (7)
(No idea, sorry Baron. Had to check that that was an L and not an i in your clue - it is the former, if anyone else wasn't sure)

charmin. i want to say slapper for the other one, except it's a) sexist and ii) wrong.

hitting everywhere as in smashing everything, was a possible reading

Oh! It's "global", no?
― subtyll cauillacyons (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 30 October 2009 14:45 (sixteen years ago)
Can't really do these but here is a shitty thing that wandered through my mind as I was pondering the above, hence being a less convincing take on the same construction:
Russian province to hit next to nothing (6)
Here's another, unrelated one that doesn't really work:Loving? It's a business proposal (6)
― subtyll cauillacyons (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 30 October 2009 15:05 (sixteen years ago)

Finally! That was hard. It's pumpkin! Ugh got totally lost looking for standard plurals, should have known better.
I now owe the thread two. Will get onto it during this boring week at work.
(wait - Two or three, since Spacecadet's 1st is oblast.)

Aho! I had considered "kin" and failed to make a fruit out of it; am now groaning at both myself and the clue (in a good way, I think).
Two or three, since Spacecadet's 1st is oblast.
It is indeed. I was sort of going to disown those, but since you mention it, here's a letter for the other:
Loving? It's a business proposal (6)-e----
I think that may be an inappropriate use of ?, but there we go.
― subtyll cauillacyons (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 2 November 2009 15:34 (sixteen years ago)
Sorry about the bad clue. Really I was just trying to get ledge to posthttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/4056709528_ee4418aa01.jpg
― tal farlow's pather panchali (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 November 2009 15:42 (sixteen years ago)
haha, you know I actually looked up the list of oblasts on Wikipedia without actually twigging that oblast itself was the answer :-(
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 15:48 (sixteen years ago)
How does it work exactly?
― tal farlow's pather panchali (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 November 2009 15:51 (sixteen years ago)
Oblast = Russian province. To hit = blast, next to "o" which is nothing .
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 15:52 (sixteen years ago)
Yep, what ailsa said. Kind of clumsy, sorry, but I got preoccupied with hit->blast for your "global" clue, then the only 6-letter word I could make out of it was that, and it wouldn't leave my head. Is "next to" bad form for "after" or is it OK on either side?
― subtyll cauillacyons (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 2 November 2009 15:57 (sixteen years ago)
Oh, I thought this was the answer to "Red State, almost (6)"
― tal farlow's pather panchali (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 November 2009 15:59 (sixteen years ago)
Ha, no, still scratching my head over that one myself.
― subtyll cauillacyons (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 2 November 2009 16:00 (sixteen years ago)
Quite pleased with it, but I'll give you a while before I put a letter in.
― Drag Me to Hull (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 November 2009 16:02 (sixteen years ago)
Florid?
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 16:11 (sixteen years ago)
Correct
― Drag Me to Hull (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 November 2009 16:13 (sixteen years ago)
nice.
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 16:21 (sixteen years ago)
I think, strictly, I expect 'x next to y' to be in solution order (so that clue indicates 'blasto'), but I'm not 100% sure.
(xp yes, that 'florid' is neat)
