    Ha, was quite a while trying to work it out before I remembered and cottoned on, Stu, satisfyingly devious!

    Nine of these, twisted, might be all that. (5,2)

    Was happy with that clue too. So much for the handy one to ease back into it!

    Genuinely didn't think it was that tricky, perhaps there's just not been many in here in the last week and I'm talking to meself.
    Will add the letters which will more or less give the answer away tomorrow, in the meantime a hint: it's a bit of a combination clue, the starting point being what there's often said to to be nine of!

    Let's try this -

    Never knew the monkish connection so was never going to get it until there were lots of letters!

    Don Perignon may well be a favourite of this turbulent priest. (6,4,7)

    Edit: Feck.. wandered off in the middle and Stu sneaked in.
