    Dumb & Dumber, would you be either if you drank a foreign tipple that sounded like it was in a hurry to start a climbing expedition? (7,5,2,3,5)

    First word in the answer contains the name of a country,the people from there always sound like they're in a hurry.

    This was "Také the p!ss", just for completion.

    Just realised I screwed up the clue. Answer's "Lost things", but that's St Anthony, not St Andrew... So mea culpa! Was trying too hard to get the "San Andreas' fault" line into the clue that I completely forgot to check my facts.

    So we're onto "Lost things" as part of the next clue. I'll sit this one out for being a fool.

    Perusing the library shelf, a type of pictograph helps one pick out a copper in Scotland. (4,5)

    You've got me stumped on this one, Stann. Any chance you could use some more artistic licence and give us a couple of letters? Pleeeeease???

    Can only apologise, genuinely didn't think the clue was that cryptic!
    Thought the 'so this is' was a bit too much in fact, a bit of a giveaway considering what this is.
