Thanks -- simple when you're shown how !

Hipsters ascribe "Just So"-related auditory hallucination to chosen dope by which fuddled -- Hark ! Dog Dingo: Wuf ! -- 's acid.

Quite correct, Best Beloved (re reference to Kipling's Australia-set Just So Story about the face-off between Yellow Dog Dingo and Old Man Kangaroo).

Your go !

Why thank you. I do like your often very strange anagrams.

Confused inquiry made, by one Roman builder to another, upon discovering a substantial part of the order for seventy-five door-joints is missing, and suggesting they copy from extant examples: “We’ll twin ½ the 50 hinges, ’kay?”

If this one has as an anagram, what I'm figuring it might have -- it's some awfully long name -- ?? Regardless of actual letters -- and forgetting about that place in Anglesey -- it would be longer even than my possible longest-ever-in-Britain: Lofthouse-in-Nidderdale, closed ages ago. It's bemused I am ...

The Roman numeral symbol for 1/2 (or, more accurately, 6/12) is 'S' - not one that many people remember! ...All yours.

Truly, every day a school day. (And how could I have forgotten the famous venue where the first of a bridal couple to drink therefrom, is the one who'll be the boss in the marriage?)

@DaleCooper's go. of course.

My thanks.

Re long-ago poet of solemn and lofty themes: how his nickname might have been heard, if he had relaxed by writing thrilling yarns about the doings of valiant folk at the furthest extremities of our settling of the New World.

As we tend to say: on right track, but not yet got there.

Somehow, managed to say it twice !

That is a mistake that Michelle in 'Allo 'Allo would never make..... "Listen, I shall say this only once"....:smile:

I'm rather a weirdo who "doesn't do television" -- to best of my knowledge, I have never seen a complete episode of this series. Uncommonly for me in this matter, I genuinely feel that here, I might be missing out on something good.

Weston Milton

Correct -- if he of Paradise Lost and other august works, had done for recreation as per clue; his contemporaries might have dubbed him "Western Milton".

Brother Cooper, 'tis for thee to pen the next work of poetic profundity.

Feel that I'm hogging things a bit nowadays; but no other takers for nearly 24 hours; so --

New chapter in old story -- we read, advice to farmer to excavate immediately-adjacent plot; and drill-in a big weight of seed.

Digby & Sowton

Very prompt, and correct -- you deserve next go for this one, and no mistake ! ("New chapter", etc. -- Digby & Sowton Sta. is a fairly recent creation -- a little way to its north there was, 1908 -- 48, Digby & Clyst St. Mary Halt.)
