Thanks, Lex! grin

One we both liked, not too difficult:

A drug hit the other side of Mars (8,4)

A slight rewrite might help:

A drug hit between Mars and Jupiter (8,4)

Nice play on words Rog.


People are funny. They want the front of the bus, middle of the road, and the back of the church.

The bonus anagram words begin with R and P.

The groaner starts with D and the wordplay breaks down as 4 + 2 + 2 + 4.

Roll up, roll up for the mindbenders... which of course leads to Wayne Fontana (but nothing whatsoever to do with the clues)

Looking at synonyms for "preamble" might help...

"Sentence" in terms of a grammatical construction, not time in jail...

Thought the second half could be "stranger", but no real justification...

The answer is cash-st/rapped (poor) - hope I haven't put up an erroneous letter count or anything else to mislead...!
