It's almost time, everyone.
Can someone help with a last-minute parse for FJ #30. If 'hit' is the def. and platter = disc, I can't get the rest of it to work.

Thanks to all who contributed so many inventive clues this week - 27 from 11 setters.
My short list included kt #5, SW #9, tyke #14, peterm #11, malcolm #20 and sunray #23.
