Afternoon clue dudes.

Somethings come up and I've come home early, so will be judging slightly earlier if that's ok. I'll pop back in 20 minutes with the result because I'm off out again at 4:15pm and not sure when I'll be back.

If your Irishman is 'Sean' with yearns empty being YS, then I'm lost for HT and 'surprise seems redundant.
If Yearns empty is Yea(r)ns empty -without 'R' and an anagram = Yeans = Synae. - then I'm losing quite a bit in the middle.
Cheers mate

Whole and part anagrams, extraction anagrams too with one from our new member 'ginge' Welcome to the forum ginge. a homophone from GK and some cryptic Defs (Naughty Paul). Plenty of tricky wordplay and I was really struggling to pick a winner. Loved AB's ever succinct Musical taste? but for this weeks winner I have chosen a clue which must evoke memories for some of you crazy 1960's dudes with its impeccable surface read and great use of the word manipulation, and that is Bigbadmarty2 at post 14 with:
