Clues of Repute 57
6 December, 2016
Here are some splendid bits of business drawn from recent Brit xwords, from The Guardian to The Independent (my new cryptic fix of choice, esp Punk, Donk, Anax & Nestor). Anyhow, you know the drill: can you solve them, and who can compose a fine alternative clue for any of the same solutions?
1. Bottom of flask in pocket [Sunday Times 1017]
2. River's current between banks (4) [as above - among the COTY]
3. Rasher gnarl? (8,3,4) [Nimrod - starts with T, ends with D....]
4. Condemned equal rights dispute (7) [Vlad]
5. Futile swimming in central European river, one that's deep (10) [Nestor]
6. One going down for a long time, a reviled criminal in prison, is on for release (5,5) [Paul]
7. Potty-trains baby, ignoring books on hygiene (8) [Bogus]
8. Hateful how satellite cable may be connected (7) [Times 10710]
