During lulls like this I find myself checking and rechecking my clue to make sure I haven't made a stupid mistake (as I've been known to once or twice, I must admit). I can't see anything amiss, though that won't stop me worrying that I've arsed it up.

A bit of a tricky one to use, so I've only been able to come up with a rather garbled clue. Sorry.

That's on no firmer ground than my ability to think of another (2,2) that's the name of a film and a novel. But I might be grasping the wrong end, or even the wrong stick altogether.
