Welcome to CLUE CHAIN.

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being - see below.

15 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Game usually finishes about 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:

Footballer plays with penis over brain? (5,3,6)

Robin van Persie

Goal - restart please, chrise.

Tell English winger to emphasise part of Greater Manchester (6,5,4)

Are clues needed, or is there just no-one around? I don't nned to decale it open for you to have a go, rambler, do I?

Sorry, chrise my neighbour called just as I set my clue and I've been over for a chat. No, you don't have to declare open for the starter.

Maybe I should have given the letters as 6-5-4

Ashton-under-lyne?

Yes paul - sorry for the delay, I was called away for a bit.
Your go.
