Cryptic clues posted most evenings, usually an anagram (cold-solve friendly) and often topical. I once accidentally cooked the exact amount of rice needed for a meal for a rather hungry 58 year-old vegetarian. Still looking for a cure for my vegetarianism

At 10:30am this morning I realise 'fingertip ends' is tautalogical. This both upsets me and causes me distress. I think this clue should be disregarded and ignored!

Could this ruin fingertip ends? (6,7) #cryptic #crossword #crosswordclue

If you ever find yourself in Cardiff with a couple of hours to spare and Β£20 in your pocket - get your flabby arse to Vegetarian Food Studio on Penarth Road. Ridiculously good!

It would - but I try to change up my anagrinds and this satisfied me more

REGIME CHANGE!

When do we want it?

After we find an appropriate anagram indicator!

No takers for SACROSANCT?

Ever so slightly #libertarian!

Anagram word list = anagram indicator list?

Everything's an anagram indicator these days!!

It's 2 words in Chambers, which is the Cruciverbalist bible! I also checked BBC, who use the OED AFAIR?

Every other dictionary I checked has it as a single word!

I hope you mean the answer rather than REM?!

Keir Starmer is worried REM aren't included - are they offensive? (3,7) #cryptic #crossword #crosswordclue #ooohtopical

Is it niche? As niche as having to know 27 two-letter abbreviations for soldiers, 25 of the buggers contemporaneous with WWII?! The Shipping Forecast is still broadcast four times a day!

I liked this one for CROMARTY

#anagram (churned up) of MYCARROT - Cromarty is an area (patch) of the Shipping Forecast, as heard on R4.

Your hunch about R4 might well be right. Some (not me, though) might think that the question mark is doing a bit of heavy lifting here!

(and that's the best clue I've written in a long while!!)

(IMHO)
