Just realised that either the def is slighty off, or disturbed is doing double duty to make it work accurately.

Confused lies on Disturbed track (5,2,7) is better.

Must admit I've no idea about their politics or even any other of their music. I just liked that version. I shan't Investigate further that way I can continue to have it on a playlist.

Great song. Have you heard this cover? It's even better than the original IMO.

That also sorts out the questionable WP by DEF, I'd say by is directional the other way as link.

Well I can't approve of spin-ner myself or last batsman for that matter, but that's not what you're asking me. How about "for nothing?" instead of by "living..." It's not strictly accurate but does work as syn of syn for no charge/payment hence the QM.

I predicted nonce. Boy was I wrong. Can't argue with their choice of nickname though.

Grrr eventually is nasty! I wondered about unreadable book as a def but only got as far as an audio book as an idea. I probably would have solved that in the wild but only with full crossers and may have parsed it eventually.

Brilliant! Best of luck to you. My problem is only sciatica thankfully. Damn painful but not life threatening.

Nope I've nothing. Can't even definitely discern the def on this one.

Hard agree there, but placing the 'proper noun' at the start doesn't always work for the surface and/or cryptic grammar. Also if the falsely up cased text is more than one word then that trick fails.

Quite possibly he had an emergency or just thought he had done it. Occam's Razor applies until you know differently.

Get me doing self help guru Blah. I should offer this shit for money.

Email them and say you didn't get a link for the meeting and hope they're ok and that nothing is wrong. Then offer some times you're available and to schedule the meeting if that suits them

Take control *passively* and impress the client.

It does feel like shouting into the void some days doesn't it. But good information should be shared and widely so in this age of lies and disinformation.

I'd never have even thought to ask about the MMR without that post. So thank you and keep up the good work.

I would absolutely use them dishonestly It's on a par with up casing as misdirection. See the clue I linked to in my reply to my post for an example. The title in question is purely an indicator cryptically.

Purely down to reading about it on a post by @chrischirp.bsky.social whom I followed after a repost by you.

While there I asked if I should have the MMR vaccine. I have had every vaccine I should have but the MMR didn't exist when I was that age. The GP said she would check the records and call me.

Just off the phone and I'm booked in for next Friday.

Ask your surgery about MMR.

Help protect everyone.
