Congrats, mattrom. Would have been my choice too. Thanks for hosting, Paul. I’ll skip the first clip though; I really dislike the band.

Thank you, Paul, for your choice, my prizes and the challenge. I thought it was a good word choice, with lots of possibilities for anagrams and composite clues. Bastille Day celebrations in Sydney pretty well washed out by rain and a new lockdown. Cheers till next week.

Well done Mattrom! Any influence from the large number of Asian restaurants in your neck of the woods?
I loved your “mobile” clue but didn’t fully understand it! I thought it had something to do with the “base@ station but couldn’t get the “till”!

Cheers Paul, good word choice, and thanks for the mentions.

Hi Paul, Chambers has a def. of 'bastille' as 'a movable tower used by besiegers'. Perhaps they used it to besiege the Bastille?

Two years ago today I was in San Francisco. A group of French tourists were riding in the cable car with us, and they burst out singing La Marseillaise.
