CLUELESS 585

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition. The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week. The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome. Feel free to give an explanation if you think it might help.

Clues should be submitted by 8:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday, June 29.

This week's challenge is a choice of:-

DOUBLE (6) or
DOUBLES (7)

Have fun and good luck!

Specialty of the Bryan brothers? (7)

For non-fans, the Bryan brothers are twins.

I suspect the contract won't be successful (6)

bridge reference

Beat-up old English bus goes from 50 to 100 (7)

Do they get you twice as drunk (7)

Party bus breaks down - the French on board are beside themselves! (7)

DO + LE in BUS*.

Thus may cause my poetic license to be revoked.

Fold - could be broke after losing $100 (6)
