thanks everyone.
Gen 2 I still cant work out why resect.

[gen2]

On = about = re.
TV = set (TV set)
Head of Customs = C (first letter)
welcoming = taking in, so SET taking in C = sect

Excise = to cut out = resect

Thanks Gen2

Can someone explain how Nuclear Winter works for 32d.It's just I have SEEDOIL for 43ac and UNHINGE for 56ac. Both could be wrong I know.
