Delay advantage near static fuse (13)

[Abbas A Ali]

Procrastinate?

[musefan]

Hmmm, could be... I'll check for you later...

[musefan]

Later O'Clock... Yes! Over to you.

Is it a theme week? I thought the theme week was suppose to first week of the month. But then again I have been away a long time.

[Abbas A Ali]

Could you write the complete solution? I didn't have the entire solution and just went with my gut.

[musefan]

A few weeks ago we agreed to drop the themed week completely. Nobody seemed to want to play along with it so figured it was time to go.

Procrastinate = Delay
Pro = advantage (as in pros and cons)
crastinate = near static (anag. using "fuse" as the anagram indicator)

I did wonder if "fuse" was a bit suspicious for an anagram indicator but was going off of the definition: "join or blend to form a single entity"

I think it's this: Delay

advantage PRO (No idea why "pro" == "advantage", but ho hum)
near R NA E
static C ASTI T
fuse (anag - again, no idea why)

Delay == procrastinate, and the anagram itself are fine, but the anagram indicator and "advantage" == "pro" are ... a little dodgy IMHO.

Yep, that's where I had the problem too.

[Abbas A Ali]

Its a shame though! I (at least) usually got to learn something new because of the theme.
