Apologies for the late posting. I'm not going to be able to post the solution until later tonight. In favour of twitter now with different lolly (5)

If "lolly" was replaced with "name" or even removed, then I could give an answer but as far as I know "lolly" can only mean a frozen treat on a stick or a slang term for money, so a bit baffled!

I think it's FOREX Rich

Ah. I went with PRO-X and wondered how the Y could be explained for PROXY. Not sure where the E fits in though ... :confused:

It's probably just to enhance the sound of X - not a very good clue

Yes In favour - FOR Twitter Now - X (EX) Different Lolly - Changed Money So FOREX I take the point about the missing E in a later post. I'll refrain from posting until I get better at this.

Posting is how you get better - setting these clues is a LOT more difficult than solving them.

Nah. Pkfox will post Monday's clue since he solved your Friday one. If you're first to solve it you're up next. Don't be shy, I've posted some doosies when I was a newt - but I got better. :rolleyes: As pkfox said, setting is much harder than solving and like most things you learn best by doing. Try, fail, try again, fail better.
