Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Thanks all for the above answers.
Here's one for today which I'm sure I've seen before. I'm actually getting quite annoyed I can' get it.
Books Disco with Timothy Edwards DJ? (1,5,2,3,5,2,4)
A/***C*/**/THE/***I*/**/T***
Damn I just got it

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Only thing I can come up with is that a twitter reader is often called a peep in social circles so "peep will" = peep'l = sounds like people but it's dreadful, someone else can hopefully dissect it better.

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Almost there, Taken! But... the verb "twitter" means "tweet" or "peep". Nothing to do with social networking, where the word would be "peeps" plural, not the singular. "Broadcast" is a cute way of saying "when spoken" - peep'll, as you say.

Cheers Guys.
A bit bloody obscure for my liking but I get the point (sort of)
Another one from the same setter.
Peak Hotel has gone, is derelict (4,6)

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Derelict represents disorder, therefore suggesting an anagram. The words preceding derelict contain 9 letters, not the required 10 for the answer. Where does the extra letter come from?

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Here's a few more
Graces used in tea ceremonies (8) *H*R***S
Woman involved in international racket getting hauled up (5) C***A
Check form of transport in motionless state (9) R*S***I**
I have several ideas for each but they all link together in one corner and I can't make any of my combinations fit!

Last one: hint: a form of transport inside another word meaning motionless state, the resultant word meaning check (as in stop).
Still working on no 2.

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
The only thing I can come up with for 2 is CHICA although I don't know how it fits the clue unless it's something CIA related?
