    Whilst a certain person recovers from his birthday revelries, here's an unofficial clue: O'Brien's novel omits nothing about transsexual in English naval town (10)

    Slogans aren't solutions.

      Ooo ... lemme think ... is it "Hull"?

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        Nope, not the Unincredible Hull (even if it is the Intergalactic City of Culture 2017 or whatever). ;)

              You are, of course, correct Sir! For non-crossword-haters, the clue was: O'Brien's novel - The Poor Mouth by Flann O'Brien (originally published in Gaelic as "An Béal Bocht" under the name of Myles ngCopaleen) - one of the great man's more neglected works - ... omitting nothing to become PORMOUTH and getting put about a transsexual TS to give us PORTSMOUTH which is, of course, a city on the Hampshire coast famed for its connections with the Royal Navy and for being the hometown of a certain CP regular.

                Not a crossword hater. In fact it was me that came up with the WSO after Dalek left. Just get annoyed that Griff hijacked it and came up with a set of rules, where it has to be done daily and people get nagged if they don't. Would have much preferred a rule free, easy-going thing.

                  I see where you're coming from - do you think we should drop the whole WSO concept and just have people put one up when they've got a good one?
