I don't know any bass players. Except Mark King, Jah Wobble, umm... looks like it should be dano, rane, mane, fana, sano, lana, or tane.Oh wait it could be mani from teh stone roses, was mani the bass player? Yes he was.
And that concludes today's edition of "thinking aloud with ledge".

that clue is going to be ridiculous in the absence of any letters

stuck letters at the end?
― Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 11:48 (twelve years ago) link
I'm guessing it's a reference to making one word by taking letters out of the middle. "Must have" would not be the clue.

misuse of tense
― Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 13:18 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, tense is the big irritation. 'Tramp' says its his favourite from his clues, but he's overrating the worth of that kind of cleverness imo.
― woof, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:06 (twelve years ago) link
right, I looked it up. It makes no sense, in fact it's more a clue to another set of 5 words that does.
― Ou est la showaddywaddy (MarkG oo la showaddywaddy), Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:09 (twelve years ago) link
seems to be lacking in definition completely to me, agree that kind of clue is best in v small doses.
paul today had a few annoying but fair clues with tricksy definitions, "this is flat" for table mat being the worst.
― ledge, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
It'd be some strange species of meta-&lit if the tenses worked, like 'thought outside the box?' - (one) must've (to get this), but because it has to be 'think' it's incoherent.
Yes, that kind of clue needs restraint. Paul usually gets it about right, but too much waggishness is the worst.
― woof, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:29 (twelve years ago) link
thought = "Muse" box = "TV"

don't know if everybody had realised that, sorry if u had

It's the sort of answer that'd get a "It's good but it's not right" Roy Walker response.

tbh i'm pretty sure it's antique can u check again?
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:14 (twelve years ago) link
didn't notice the anag for antique but i'm afraid there's no clue for anag and "piece" as definition of "antique" is iff-ay
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:15 (twelve years ago) link
i didn't, and i don't mean to offend dear chap, necessarily rule one of yr clues out because it was 'iff-ay'
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:17 (twelve years ago) link
how dare u sir i am generally meticulous way past the point of pedantry
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
ps requiring a cue for anags is lame-o pickiness imo
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
every word of the clue shd be functional or its a dodgy clue imo
― Julie Lagger, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
yep, that's not to say you need to include all indicators
Did you check was it antique btw
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Friday, 2 December 2011 11:21 (twelve years ago) link
fuck's sake antique has only 7 letters lol
