it's normally dead anyway, it only shudders into life occasionally and momentarily.
regards?

eh, i'd consider intentionally misspelling 'guards' a cheap trick. close though.
― Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 08:59 (seventeen years ago)
rewards? not exactly 'safer returns' though.
― Pro Creationism Soccer 2009 (ledge), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 09:07 (seventeen years ago)
eh, a reward is a return. i feel justified.
― Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 10:12 (seventeen years ago)
yeah that's fine, but what about the 'safer'?
― Pro Creationism Soccer 2009 (ledge), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 10:37 (seventeen years ago)
link back to the 'ward', and 'protects' in the clue. Not nobel winning, but a pretty solid effort imo, not deserving of this terrible interrogation.
― Old Big 'OOS (AKA the Cupwinner) (darraghmac), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 10:58 (seventeen years ago)
I spent way too long hoping for a word ending in -er that would mean "safer" which would reverse to a word beginning with re- which would mean "protects again".
But then I like words which are other words backwards. Oh well.

Sorry to get all Guantanamo on yo' ass. But if protects again = re-wards and returns = rewards then the safer is redundant. xp.
― Pro Creationism Soccer 2009 (ledge), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:11 (seventeen years ago)
redundancy is a fair call. possibly the returns is redundant also.
your turn anyway, pressure on for xword clue perfection

Well techically that is an anagram of limed its, even though the its is still intact at the end, so I have to begrudgingly admit that it's sound.
