A Tough CCC
-
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! :-)

Indeed not, and one only progresses when one has hounds at one's heels! :)

Do I have to explain my thought process before I get a reply now?! :) Ruminate = consider alcoholic (drink) = cider cider 'cages' ons I don't know why ons = leases out!!

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!!! :)

Steering ruminate = "dwell"ing on ones thoughts leases out = a "maneuver" involving property (ie: a car) alcoholic cage = a "test" of alcoholism The dwell maneuver test is used to quantify steering on a car. Yes? No? :-) -- Ian
No, way off the track.

Is the clue a tough on because ruminate is insinuating that there is an anagram made up from the solution to 'leases out' and 'alcoholic cages' (which I think is more likely to be can / glass / mug etc rather than something to do with alcoholism)??

I cannot give too many clues, but I will say there is NO ANAGRAM!

Zeolites are cage structures...I was hoping "clathrate" would fit but it's too long...

But ... but... that is what we have always been doing ! Hard part is to find the explanation going along once you agreed to the solution :rolleyes:
