No sorry sean- will power is incorrect- I'm never playing this again-that's a clue .

And "carousing chap" is the definition btw.

I feel a bit dim about your last one, nef, because it was indeed well gettable once the letter count was sorted out. But for whatever reason, I'm equally stuck on this one.

DOE VICAR

I'm sure the uncertainty about the letter count doesn't make solvoing easier- apologies again.

This one is dicier- there is a question mark.

A divorce, upset Dawkins (and kith)?
