Clue Chain 11

[Canary42]

Starting Clue Chain 11 - all welcome 😊

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.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, the setter should post a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.

 

 

The first clue is from Dustypuss

[Patsy33]

Curious! 😀

[Patsy33]

Or Furious! 😆

[Canary42]

Sorry Patsy, I've been out. Although my origonal answer was Furious I can quite see why it can be regarded as a reversible clue, so you're right on both counts.

Interested = CURIOUS

Temperature change (C)entigrade to (F)ahrenheit 

Ire = FURIOUS

Alternative clue gives FUR IOUS

Well done 😊
