Good plan Terry - can we change the title though, that one may not maximise the response!

Terry,OK we wont do it. Especially if you talk sphericals load of.

OK,
Assuming nobody objects I'll put something on Jolan's own thread on Tuesday. Explain the idea,etc. I'm pretty sure he'll like it as well.

He was excellent in that Bullfrog - some of those Dennis Potter dramas must be due a repeat showing - maybe not Blackeyes though!

go for it
looking forward
CU tuesday

I've just caught up with this thread. May I offer what is intended to be constructive criticism of the anagram part of the clue? The Guardian book "A Clue to Our Lives" suggests that pretty muchy anything passes by way of clue construction, with one exception:

"Indirect anagrams are forbidden. For example, 'Graduate never ordered plant (7) for VERBENA is illegitimate as you have to first guess that graduate is BA before doing the anagram; but 'east' to put an E into an anagram is OK. Just."

I think that applies to your use of Estonia as anagram fodder.

That said, I take my hat off (if I was wearing one) to Terry, for working it out.

Thanks peterm - I'll take that on board
