Like your NP, Philth

RobT - I like your AT1 and NP1, afraid I haven't worked out your ED2 yet!

Here are mine:

AT: Shift car intact with boat trailer
ED: Loved dream metamorphosis after drug
GF: Match unlaid design by hand, mid-arches
MO: Veneer over rough dowel
NP: New Right patron

Hats off to everyone and their impressive lists. My attempt (picture, if you will, a set of 'L' plates attached):

GF: Flinching, you do a turn
MO: Hidden hooter?! (stop groaning, someone had to do it)
NP: Awful trap on right - bird had better be careful

Thanks Sam. ED2 a bit out there, so:

AT: Right into oceanic attractions, so 'ciao' (gone)...at sea
ED: Spill: leader moved
GF: We hear you inside bread baker surrounds
MO: Spooner called for Meninga
NP: Almost held back bull
TA: Sounds like an amorous rendezvous and a great score

@Em, nothing L-plated about your MO or TA in particular. Very nice work ;)

SK, you've made my day. Thanks.

Quick change to AT:

AT: Best place to find an ice shelf pirouette, Mumble?
ED: Wizard's city submerged?
GF: Flinching, you do a turn
MO: Hidden hooter?!
NP: Awful trap on right - bird had better be careful
TA: Heard of rendezvous with an actress and friend, tea included

I'm with SK. Nothing fledgling about your clues Em. You are a definite contender for the roosterum again.

I'll get mine in early too:

AT: Caper around upset cart on purpose, we hear
ED: Greenpeace symbol?
GF: Swimmer, golfer, but no baker.
MO: McDonald's first grilled chicken lacking flavour intitally
NP: Close to the first ape?
TA: Off-the-wall artist takes new pill perhaps.

Sorry, just fixing typo:

AT: Caper around upset cart on purpose, we hear
ED: Greenpeace symbol?
GF: Swimmer, golfer, but no baker
MO: McDonald's first grilled chicken lacking flavour initially
NP: Close to the first ape?
TA: Off-the-wall artist takes new pill!

High quality stuff, Bon. Though I'm a bit jealous that you claimed the "Greenpeace" ground so early...but it was there for the taking ("you snooze, you lose")

or "You've got to be up to be in"?

Too true RobT. Like a thief in the night.....

And (better late than never) for what it's worth I agree with Sam's vote for your chosen NP and AT. (NP is particularly clever...you spotted the "nigh" before anyone else could get near it...)

Ta SK. I chose good, then.

Re timing (and I can't help but think Tiger Woods took the golfing term too literally): I saw Baker-Finch by myself but after Boniface!

A final tweak to NP (trying to get a better flow...I'm hooked on the idea of "Brokeback Mountain" as anagrind + ROT, just need to get the fodder happening)

AT: Tenant lost tidy sum with bitter rent dispute
ED: Leave more material to cover ample bust?
GF: Shane Surfboards; part-owned by China conglomerate
MO: Broke law and smoked
NP: Artist rejected straight part in "Brokeback Mountain"
TA: Start in style, three under par?!

Folks, I'm looking for a ruling on a clueing protocol...when removing letters from anagram fodder, if the nominated letters appear in a different order than in the fodder, do you have to "mix" them FIRST before removing, or can it be left unsaid?

eg. Does my NP clue have to be amended to something like-

NP: Flamboyant artist rejected straight part in "Brokeback Mountain"

Anybody know? DA, is there a hard and fast rule?

There doesn’t seem to be a hard and fast rule SK. In the ‘Loroso Report’ Anax said that it might appear, in moderation, in a paper like the Guardian, but others such as the Independent wouldn’t allow it, even if the letters were in order – so I guess it depends on the editor/style of the paper. I think I like it better without the ‘flamboyant,’ and back Mountain is a lovely way to get ‘rot.’

I haven't read anyone else's yet, so apologies in advance if I double up over anyone

Thanks Sam.

And I know it's past cut-off, and Bon owns the rights to the Baker-Finch theme (quite rightly, and in style), but the following came to mind as a tribute to IBF as former Australian Masters winner, before his (ahem) form slump with the driver and subsequent retirement. Not an official entry then...just for fun-

GF: Turn in gold jacket; Aussie golfer no longer needs the dough, we hear
