I can't do spoilers so I just say garret?

[QUOTE=shirley and anthony hide;11229668] Just use the 'spoiler icon' on top of the comment box. Top right hand corner

I use the spoiler in case others are still trying.

Do you think I am right with elapse?

[QUOTE=me me;11229684] Tx. I am not sure about mine? With yours the problem I have is with "the failure" that could mean an anagram of the is in the answer along with something akin to ending. Put the two together and you get something to do with progress. But then I am on my second glass of red and the fluffy clouds are forming in my mind!

Never say never but I can't find the connection to the clue apart from 'progress ending' could be relapse.

My brains getting fried now

[QUOTE=shirley and anthony hide;11229668] I thought about garret and turret but couldn't find the bishop connection

[QUOTE=stuboy;11229754] That was my problem as well (third glass now!) the lights fading fast!

Here's something different. Things that sound the same but are different.cryptic clue is "serious minded campers". Seven two and five letters.

It's late and I may have not explained the premise correctly, so the answer is "intense in tents" ouch!!!!

Ouch indeed

Enjoy your vino!

You too Stuboy and thanks for starting a great thread.
