I think you will be up tomorrow Pete - I have no idea what this could be

Likewise.
I was toying with "Antipathetical" but I can't justify it at all.

I thought of that but couldn'y justify it apart from the meaning

You got it, but do you know what my theme was and how this was all solved?

Well, I really should have got sanguine as positive (think I always think of it more as cool/calm/ relaxed) so I just went for something starting with CON and ending in US that coincided with the definition.
As for the theme, I guess we're in the realms of relatedness or relativity ...

Oooh, good theme. Better than my choice - words that Shakespeare invented.

Now that would be a very broad theme and possibly a little contentious - some claim that he invented 1700 or so words, others far fewer and the truth is almost certainly somewhere in between. Was he the first person to say "puking" or was he the first person to write it? Or, maybe, it was written on his behalf by someone else in a sort of 15th Century James Patterson franchise kind of way

Yes, that's about as far as I got - fairly positive on the CON and the US but otherwise baffled.

If exclaimed is "sang", then what is the indicator that allows it to move position and follow "con"?

... Windows 10 works better than Android.
I used to use my Nexus 7 for everything once the desktop was off for the night, and thought it worked really well.
And it does. But ...
Since the Wookietab died I've had to go back to the Nexus, and it's a PITA do do anything slightly complicated on. Just trying to report a plagiarist takes far too long: and that's just the links, a bit of text, and a quote of a plagiarised example. Even using Chrome in both tablets, it's so much easier to copy the URL - where is F6 on Android? Nowhere. Why is paste such a palaver? Try posting into a gap between two characters on both, and see what happens ...
But Android has some serious goodies, Microsoft. Try "swipe to type" some day, and check it against the cut down nuisance that is your soft keyboard, even in "full" mode.

this post is bait
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'm stumped ! What does this interesting phrase mean ?

It means "I forgot to add the words 'to report' when I was typing" 
I suspect my brain was running ahead of my fingers, again... 
Fixed.

Well, that's a relief, I thought I was missing out on a secret Welsh signal to Gwydion fab Dono to light the wicker man pyre

We would, but ... this is Wales. Have you ever tried to set fire to that much soggy wicker?
The only way we can do Wicker Men is indoors, and then they have to be small scale. Barbie Burners, maybe.
