Close … Tony Hawks, @richardcoles.bsky.social, @rachelparris.bsky.social and @marcusbrig.bsky.social - fine panel. To be broadcast on 8 and 15 June, I believe.

I have been known to send the odd Uxbridge in Graeme’s direction, but only if I can’t think of a way of using it in a clue.

Or some other borough
By a lough,

You experience many a cough
Or hiccough

I want to play a TTRPG about monastic life the way I used to, but I’ve got out of the habit.

But if Trump blocks access to the strait, that means that there will be no ships in the strait for Iran to block, which means that Iran is no longer blocking the strait, which means that Trump has achieved one of the key objectives of his war and is therefore WINNING! His genius is breathtaking!

Had a toilet that gave them a shock: it
Had lost all its suck,
Which was jolly bad luck,
So they called someone out to unblock it.
