Clue Chain 4

[Canary42]

 

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

We will start with Hazlinny's  

Does one really need to be in Paris to take this medication?  (7)

to which mallyh has offered    aspirin.

Please respond Hazlinny.

any more clues ?

When I posted this game originally on another site I introduced a 30 minute rule.

If a clue has been active for 30 mins without an attempted answer the setter should post hints until the clue is solved.

If there are no hints offered within the time anyone can  offer to post a new clue - the first to offer then posts their clue.

As Ozzy won't be around for some time (in Oz) to post hints/confirm - a new clue to keep thread rolling....

Expressionless is good at the tables and for Lady Gaga. (5, 4)
