Thanks

A musician walks into a bar: First two xylophones, an alcoholic drink or assorted house brie?

 

[johnnychips]

No idea what the answer is but that must be the most amazing clue ever.

Thanks .

Hint: The first part is actually irrelevent, I just liked it, and the second part actually contains two independent clues leading to the same answer.

 

[Calthrop]

Wild and almost certainly wrong guess: Worcester Shrub Hill ???

 

[DanTrain]

No, think about the words 'first two' and 'assorted'. The latter may not refer to a word it is directly adjacent to.

Manorbier

XY as in chromosomes = Man + or bier, bier also being an anagram of brie. Open floor if correct.

Indeed so, well done. Manor also being a type of house. Your floor

I didn't spot the manor reference! I have to work today therefore the floor is open.

 

[Calthrop]

Prizefighting fan in cotton country, confused: "Aha ! Aunt N. boxes well."

 

[neilmc]

I think that has to be Euxton Balshaw Lane - big clue was in the letter x as this limits the likely list!

 

[Calthrop]

Correct ! -- I might say that I was being kind .

The ring is yours, against whoever then shows up to put 'em up...

 

[neilmc]

I spy with my little eye, somewhere beginning with "D". How? With my lens - novel!

 

[DanTrain]

Devonport?

 

[DanTrain]

Devonport?

 

[Calthrop]

Deighton? Open floor if correct.

 

[neilmc]

Correct of course, the famous Len Deighton being the spy novelist.

 

[DanTrain]

Seeing as it’s open floor, try this:

Neither an oversized piece of fruit nor a Billy Bragg song, but instead a charitable bear in a similar vein.

 

[itznonbine]

New Pudsey??

 

[DanTrain]

New Pudsey??

Yes, not New England or New York, but a rejouvenated Children in Need Bear! Your floor .

 

[Calthrop]

No word in three days, from the "floor-inheritor"; might moving-on perhaps happen, with "open floor" declared?

 

[itznonbine]

Sorry about that

Another name for "direction" replacing the "a" with a "e" plus where to "put your money where your _____ is"

 

[A Challenge]

Teignmouth?

 

[Calthrop]

Weymouth?

 

[itznonbine]

Calthrop is right!

 

[Calthrop]

Calthrop is right!

Thanks. My go, I take it...

Sort-of out West -- lumberjack to colleague: "Gee, Sam, elks hamper our work, ain't that so?"

 

[neilmc]

Somewhere like ... Melksham?

 

[Calthrop]

Correct ! Your floor.

 

[neilmc]

I was trying to find a good cryptic clue for Melksham for myself! OK, try this one:

The French, in a French final, in the UK but not in England

 

[DanTrain]

I’m struggling here! Flint maybe?

 

[neilmc]

No but you're in the right area, Dan. It's an anagram, with a couple of additional letters.
