Are you kidding? This is my favourite thread!! (I do get out of the apartment. Well, sometimes.) Needed that clue, too. Very cryptic of you. So...

Oops!
Alright so, no letters yet, but it should help to say that the above is not really a cryptic clue, more a question with a set answer. In other words google it!
Carpet tiles sound suspiciously like old-fashioned Iranian syrup of figs. (7,4)
Carpet tiles. But how to get that into a clue?!
(Half the problem with this of course - you can have the answer, but not be able to form a clue around it!)
Edit - maith on fear, your eminence!
Persian Rugs might be found in the house of this famous C & W (mostly) singer who was once famously asked in a hotel toilet "Have you got any change for the prophylactic machine?"Quote:

(This one might be a bit of a leap, sorry! If it proves too far I've a bit more to add to the clue.)
The dark, dirty, land of Nod (5, 7)
OK, that was fairly obscure, small addition below that will hopefully make it more gettable.
(and no, it's nothing to do with toytown! :D)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too obscure, Stann!!! Are there really that many people rejoicing in the name Noddy in that part of England? I thought there was only Noddy Holder!! You certainly Slade us with that clue.
Can't think of a new clue off-hand, and after that dreadful pun ... I'll get me coat.

No, that was the point, once the chap with the big-eared mate was ruled out, then there surely was only one Noddy the clue could be referring to (apart from our beloved former Pres, maybe, at a pinch). With that in mind then, 'dark land' or 'dirty land' to 'black country' wasn't that much of a stretch. That was the theory anyway! :DQuote:
