DA's ego can attract attention if stroked

Still no net at my end, so please use last week's Salon for all xword chat. Thanks. And fingers xed for later tonight, at the earliest!

Gasconade is what the French drank at half-time in the 100 Years War.

Amongst others, AGL explodes... and energy generates plenty of hot air (9)

Nice one Boniface - borrowing your sneaky 'and' anagram:
Gascoigne dropped gin cocktail and wildly hugged Swank

Allegedly Telstra is sauntering over today sometime to reconnect my home system. Touch wood we get that far, so I can at least post some diversions later in the week.
Thanks for you patience.

Telstra is an aficionado of gasconade, to mix some languages...

Spooner says Mama Elliot departed -- notice the drug produces loud boasting!
Arts let back — 22 November at 02:38PM
message from Telstra: have you tried switching it off and on again?
DA — 22 November at 09:08PM
Good news, Dabblers. I'm back online, and tomorrow will be back in the swing. (Just home now from a marathon taping day, so may need some zzzs to reconnect internally.)
Appreciate the sizzle here while the BBQ grill has been largely untended. Love youse all, and that's not gasconade, or too many Coronas.
