These are cool, but I never see them until after they're answered.

Jeff is correct.


Mr Ed (talking horse) + auditor - mr(mister) aud(australian dollars) = editor

round room lacking = what do round rooms lack? they lack corners ... therefore editor's corner

A meeting between a talking horse (ed) and an auditor over missing mister australian dollars' (aud ...which you remove from auditor because it's "missing", leaving 'itor') round room lacking (I already had a good idea by this point and a round room lacks one thing, 'corners').

gotta be Spiral, surely?

CavEmaN - that's what I was doing with that clue, just going through as many names as I could think of with the available letters, but I cannot work out the pirate reference!

Correct. In case anyone missed why:

"Eagerly anticipated" - speaks for itself

"partial apology" - apology = "sorry", partial apology = "ory"

"nothing in a lab rat" - nothing = 0 = o, put in "lab rat" = "laborat"

"ory" following "laborat" = "laboratory"

That would be a good thing with a cryptic clue.

A lane, winding, leads to the council.

And if Overlord isn't correct, how about Warlord? "rise" referring to a social uprising rather than a locational "physically higher than" type rising?

[Edit: explanation rather than clue - clue is unchanged!]

Not the Mod, a tougher team. Clue? Ask the non-french lambs.

The Nines were jostled when they ran into a premonition.

“Birds and baseball?” Related. “Sad?” Definitely. “Jaunty?” Oh go away you mixed up nut!

“Well that was more of the usual” SAJN sighed as he turned his back on Boromir’s land.

No peas in this pod, he said to Anakin after tea.

Wicked, yet healthy for you? Peta would like that.
