1. | Had there been a hint of sex, or some public cavorting, I would have knocked points off. | 2. | Nice idea |

There seems to be an unnecesary and, to me, unattractive tendency to want to make references to popular culture, current affairs, or whatever, instead of constructing a clue based on words for themselves. The competition does not preclude specialism, and doubtless others find it fun, but I think words offer enough scope for inventive clueing without having to overlay stuff that belongs in a quiz. There were just a few accurate and succinct clues that appealed to me, and three of these were also entertaining: my favourite 30, with 21 and 43 joint second. |
