"Cryptic Crossword Clue": Cryptic crossword - Wikipedia[^]

It's a daily game we play: one player sets a "cryptic clue" and everyone else has four hours to solve it. If you succeed, you get to post the next one. (full rules here: OriginalGriff - Professional Profile[^] )

For example, a recent one of mine was "Outstanding part of lover duet? (7)"
The bit in brackets means "seven letters".
The whole solution is "OVERDUE", which is contained in "lOVER DUEt"
Or perhaps "Queen is unable to enter eighty chains for trading (10)"
Queen          ER       
is unable      CAN'T
to enter 
eighty chains  MILE 
M       ILE
 ER CANT
MERCANTILE - trading.

The next one is up Monday at 09:00 UK time, and it looks at the moment like I'll be doing it. Give it a go, and see if you can solve it!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
