Just looking now, I know what I think it is from door support and handy for cracks, but I don't know how the digits bit works.

So in case I'm right how about...

“Jamming, we’re jamming” got messy, wingmen Jim and Gemma bailing leaving only a swift one. (3)

Close, but no cigar  ........

And?

And now you work it out properly .......

Pass t' preserve through the servery door, but no tea as making it's a best forgotten art (7) ......

Hopefully this'll move it along a bit .......

Alternatively just tell someone the answer!

Yeah right, like that's an alternative   ........

Had the answer a bit back, just haven't come up with a decent clue yet. I think it's HANDJAM. If someone else wants to do the honours, I don't mind. Otherwise, I'll try and think about it at lunch.

See aLICE, how hard was that  ?

[Stabbsy]

Not sure if this works, struggling to get handjam into a clue so it's going to have to do :-

Libellous? Lewd? To Censor is close to the perfect solution, handjams might provide an alternate way. (11)

Lose money in unprintable edit of book. [5]

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

We cool with this?

Instead of "lose money" I could've said <yada> money…

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Is this thread dead then?

[grumpycrumpy]

I've been trying to find a currency that when taken out of 'unprintable' leaves a five letter word that makes sense ....... No joy so far ....... 

[johnx2]

wha? Isn't this a really easy see it in a glance hidden word one that's pretty much been spelt out?

I mean it's possible I'm wrong and all.

But if not...

Sang with nosebleeds, hurt, wrote Ulysses, and got the drift without a turn: these guys could be black and hammer things out (3, 6)

Yes.

[johnx2]

yes I'm wrong?


This is meant to be an over-intricate easy by the way.

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

No.

Yes you were right - "Bleed"

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Violent exchange produced records by The Smiths? [5,5]

(Can you explain the Andy Rourke bit of that clue btw?)

[johnx2]

Rorke's Drift... Can't see my clue whilst posting via shite bbry but think I'll've said 'without a turn' to mean minus the U. Were I not on a phone I would have instead posted a pic of Michael Caine shouting 'Zulus! Thaaaaasands of 'em!'. Or was thay killer bees?

Rough trade loses article with post office in Albert’s coinage   ( 8 )


A bit contrived but hey.

[johnx2]

Was it natural causes or have I killed this fine thread? If the latter, I could have said "Kurt" instead of* "Albert"...

















*Or indeed as well as

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Additional extra clue for the hard of thinking?

[Duma]

+1
I've only got as far as taking "the" out of "rough trade" which seems a dead end

[grumpycrumpy]

I now seem to have Kurt Albert and redpoint stuck in my head ........
