Simple rules, but the more devious the question (and answer) the better. A real test of who's bright in the CM membership!

Solve the clue, and then post another cryptic question.

Example;
Fete is highly compulsive after taking an E (6 letters)
Answer; fetish
(Fete is h.... - take an E = fetish)

So, question number one

1) Longevity of MI6 man restricts him somewhat (7 letters)

E

I'm not sure I understand this and I definitely don't have a clue on the first question. I was wondering if my thinking is right.
"candy is sweeter than you ......equals candidate"
Am I right?

Hi Sweetly

you're on the right lines - you have to play with the words - could be alternative meanings for them, anagrams and all sorts.

A question with the answer "candidate" might be

"Why is I on this sweet romantic encounter? I'm the nominee"

Nominee = candidate
sweet = candy
romantic encounter = date
y (why) is i, so candy becomes candi
candidate

The answer to question one is something most everyone here will have done. Split it up and I'm sure you'll get the answer;

Who is the MI6 man?
What is longevity?

Lady,
Thank you for the quick response. I think I need to consume another cup of coffee before I tackle the first question again.

Cumming is my final answer to the first question.

The MI6 man wa Mansfield Cumming.
Longevity is length of service.
You cum from being serviced.

I need to go clean the house which does not take some much brain work.
Thanks for the challenge. Hope others can figure out your question.

OK - I'll put you out of your misery!

1) Longevity of MI6 man restricts him somewhat (7 letters)

Longevity = age
MI6 man - James Bond

Bond-age (restricts him somewhat)

Now another;

2) Sounds like Charles beats his chest; it prevents orgasm (2 words, first word 8 letters, second word 4 letters)

Siouxie - wonderful! You've got it!

Charles = Chas
beats his chest = titty belt (I know!)

how about this one;

3) One cooped up who joins the dawn chorus is made to suffer, along with a sporting object.
4 words; 4 letters, 3 letters, 4 letters, 7 letters

I'm just thinking, ends in digits, and its also nine in Roman numerals, as the end to canine from the dogs bit....

Give me a clue please! I'm good at these, and I'm struggling!

Thought I'd go ahead and answer this before it gets so far down it gets completely lost!

See = C
Dogs speak = ruffs, so C the dogs speak = cruffs

We are not = take away the R from 'cruffs' leaving you with cuffs

Silver holders = palms.. as in, cross the palm with silver to hear your fortune

Digits = fingers ..

Palm + fingers = hand

Hand + cuffs = handcuffs

;)
