If you google "Jeremy Hunt" and "TIT"you are offered an Australian plastic surgeon.

Ps my own search for JH + TiT returns coverage in the Times, West Lancashire Whatever and De Volkskrant. In Haarlem they talk of little elseLast edited by Duncan Gardner; 04-07-2019, 07:17.

I quite liked Coherent Bros (in the sense of male dudes) as an anagram of Coen Brothers. If it's "iffy" it is at least easier to solve rather than your incoherent sloppiness which made the clue more or less unsolvable.Last edited by Nefertiti2; 04-07-2019, 07:47.

Away and shite you pompous bag of wind. Your clue was even crapper than mine even if you liked it.
Obviously I've irritated you, if unintentionally at first. Did I have a subliminal reference to Brexiteer Chelsea fans dissing Corbyn or similar?

You're tenacious. I'm almost impressed
If not quite sharp enough to
a) follow the 2 explanations I've already given, and
b) notice that I admitted the clue was crap way back in the distant past of #23,635

the admission that the clue was „ crap“ way in the context of attacking me. After several inquiries.
it would be more helpful if you were less abusive and more honest.
For the fourth time. Where Is the instruction that the solution „TIT is to be placed around the word RUE and the abbreviation GR?
I‘m off.Last edited by Nefertiti2; 04-07-2019, 09:11.
