It still doesn't make any sense, though.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Friday, 30 July 2010 15:58 (fifteen years ago)
word for hit, word for time, word for style maybe, def is journalists or style of journalists.

― ledge, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:11 (fifteen years ago)

i kinda get #2, don't get #1
― ledge, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:19 (fifteen years ago)
Journalists one is nice. Quite like the 4-5 too.
Crucial for #1: peach = betray, accuse
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:20 (fifteen years ago)

Ohhhh.. #2: double def, front sight of a gun
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:22 (fifteen years ago)
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 (fifteen years ago)

― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:24 (fifteen years ago)
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 (fifteen years ago)
Can someone explain 'lately indebted'? I get #1 and the 'bang' one now, thanks guys.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:24 (fifteen years ago)
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 (fifteen years ago)
Lately indebted basically other way of saying overdue, no?
― ailsa, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:28 (fifteen years ago)
I think it's just an &lit: 'lately indebted' = late on your debts = arrears
― tetrahedron of space (woof), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:29 (fifteen years ago)
that was xp
I knew bead = sight on gun, but didn't click.
yeah arrears just late on debt
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:31 (fifteen years ago)
'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 (fifteen years ago)
necklaces have beads. sometimes. this is the weakest thing yet imo.
― ledge, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:33 (fifteen years ago)
yeah the rest of that batch are pretty solid clues tho
― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Friday, 30 July 2010 16:37 (fifteen years ago)
How does the 'council' one work?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:45 (fifteen years ago)
you pay rates based on the value of your house as determined by the council, right?
