    Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

    I'm bamboozled, at least.

      First I'm probably taking a liberty with 'short sleeves.' Second I should come up with a way to make the definition more explicit (and less punny).

        Ok, erm. I sincerely apologize for this one, as it has another forced and terrible pun:

        Ironing short sleeves? Rejected, man! (and not occidentally) (5)

        alternately, it could be put "Ironing inside?" which surely gives it away.

          Ronin and three males lost in Creelby- could explain abortion vote hiatus? (8,7,8,8)

            I'm so not getting this.

              I know how to do it (I think), I just don't have the energy to work out a 31 letter anagram

                We could try doing fifteen-and-a-half letters each.

                  Perhaps we should think of things that may explain the abortion vote hiatus and then see if any of them could be made to fit an anagram of "Ronin and three males lost in Creelby"?

                  Not that I have any ideas myself.

                    The producers of Family Fortunes were, on reflection, not wrong when they decided against asking a hundred members of the public to suggest "things that explain the abortion vote hiatus".

                      I found you could get "election" out of it, which i thought might get us the vote bit, and then managed to extract "birthday" out of the rest (as if that would somehow get me closer to abortion - not really sure how that would work), but it left me with nothing useable.

                          I'm not sure how the wordplay works, but the solution has to be...

                          Single Transferable Vote not included in extraordinary turnover? You have no right (3)

                              Each answer is supposed to be (part of) the next clue, in a never-ending chain.

                                  I popped in this thread because I saw TonTon's name as last poster. I figured he'd ask a question like that. I've stopped even acknowledging this thread exists. I wouldn't want us to draw it in the FA Cup, such is my antipathy towards it.

                                  Anyway:

                                    OK, we've got Grandma. "Massive" can mean both "big" and, in street vernacular, "bad". "Flow invert" = "wolf". And if you're irate, you see red.

                                    Is the answer Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

                                        A wild guess:

                                        Roe v Wade possibly starstruck? (8)
