    Just to clarify do you mean ruminate or ruminant? Ruminate is a verb which makes the clue less grammatical...

      Ruminate. It can be contextualized to become grammatical. I will later do that if required, but I do not wish to make a hard clue easier just yet! :)

                        Retested Reed - Ruminate leases : after saying leases a few times it sounds like leashes. Leash and Reed are both used for some technique in weaving. test - Alcoholic CAGEs : are a series of questions used to determine whether someone has alcoholic issues or not, thus a test. Because the word "out" is used wrap reed around test and get Retested. To Ruminate is used for over and over ... which we should do with testing ;P

                          You're very convincing, but alas wrong. A Bonus point for the effort that went into it though!

                              OK Edited. Please be aware that as I am doing this I am setting up a new MacBook for my MD, and have spent 2 hours so far, sorting out wireless connections, connecting to the LAN, installing the software, running updates etc, and so my concentration is somewhat diluted (excuse the bad pun!)

                                Hey I do such things all the time - but you can't expect us to miss an opportunity to get a few swagger points over you, esp with such a CCC as today's! :-)

                                      It doesn't, you are along the right lines with the ruminate = consider part.

                                        I can think of a few other 8 letter words for ruminate but no reasoning behind. Rather than just guess I'll keep thinking and see if anyone else comes up with an answer, which quite frankly I think makes me due some swagger points for fair play!!! :)

                                          You're very convincing, but alas wrong. A Bonus point for the effort that went into it though!
