Just beat me to it! :mad:

Thank you for explaining. That's a use of "settled" I'd not come across before.

Thanks for that.

Complete guess: organisation - UN (United Nations) placed - SET square - T (t-square) first - LED UNSETTLED (not sure of the connection to "not disposed of").

It only took me a few minutes :) (I was somewhat late in looking at the CCC this morning).

current - AMP sexual advance - HIT in oestrus - HEAT again - RE AMPHITHEATRE

show - DEMONSTRATE daughter - D show daughter off - EMONSTRATE [corrected] right - R REMONSTRATE

about - RE range - ALPS Obama first - O set fire to - LIT one - I king - K OLITIK within ALPS - ALPOLITIKS REALPOLITIKS

pass on -> INFORM land -> NATION -> unnamed -> ATION knowledge - INFORMATION

Tom - CAT a - A (job - CHORE) heartless job - CHRE (Nazi outfit - SS) (one - I) Nazi outfit holding one - SIS CATACHRESIS - the incorrect use of a word (in other words, "abusing" it).

When I first read the clue, the phrase "shell shock" sent me in the direction of trying to find a military or war-related solution. It took me some time to recognise the correct way of interpreting the clue.

In this case, confused indicates an anagram. Anagram of "more shell shock" is SHERLOCK HOLMES who controlled the Baker Strret Irregulars.

Thanks. I hadn't realised that someone else had already got the solution when I posted my answer.

mother - DAM land - NATION DAMNATION = cursed

If you want to use a SQL CASE statement, then try the following:

CASE [ID_SECTION]
WHEN 1 THEN 1
WHEN 2 THEN 2
WHEN 3 THEN [ID_Tarriff_Gender]
ELSE 0
END

beam - RAY used on another platform - PORTED beam into used on another platform - RAY into PORTED - PORTRAYED Limned - PORTRAYED

It was not too difficult once I'd remembered that a "peterman" was another name for a safe-cracker.

Crusty containers - PIES a - A safe - PETER Crusty containers holding a safe - PIES holding APETER - PAPETERIES PAPETERIES - ornamental boxes for holding stationery

You need to install the "SQL Server Management Studio". See here[^] for the Express version.

Once I'd remembered that "simple" was an old word for "herb", the rest was fairly easy.
