On the tip of your tongue, you will find the word KCABWARD - but that's because you're looking in the mirror (peering between the trees).

Sorry - forgot to hide that one. I'm guessing that the previous two are BONE-IDLE and NUDE. Just to keep things going - one I haven't got from today's Times.
Daisy pursues man about town (9) D _ _ _ A _ T _ _

[Wol] I was going to say "Think Cupid" for KCABWARD - I also agree with your other two.
D***A*T** is Doncaster - being "aster" for daisy after Don and c (circa = about).

As for It can make notes to change your beginning as a afterthought (8) ... here are some letters _ S _ L _ E _ _

Sorry - forgot to say Yes to my clue ages ago. As for yours, the letters have certainly helped. Now I know it's PSALTERY - a medieval stringed instrument. PS (the 'afterthought') ALTER (to change) Y (first letter of 'your'). Does the word 'beginning' indicate that the PS should be at the beginning of the word or is it pointing to the letter 'y'?

[Chalky] You are of course correct - and <hidden> The "beginning" was signifying the first letter of "your" i.e. the Y - The order of the parts was I hope implicit in the way the clue was phrased - once you get that "an afterthought" was PS then that would normally precede whatever the text of the PS was, if you see what I mean. <\hidden>

How about another (easy I think) .... a bit nudge, nudge this one !
Secreted when you hear loose woman is satisfied ? (7)

Now - could this one be something like HOARDED? ie. sounds like 'Whore did'? . I will attempt to find a couple of clues to post - I appear to be all 'take' and no 'give'.

And so through the miricle of modern science the ACME kicking machine sweeps into action. Wol]yes and yes

[Chalky]Re Secreted ... Part of your answer is on the right tracks - but you're not quite there.

Have - I think - completed the latest Eye, but can someone explain why Campbell's job: providing great copy (10) is SUPERPOWER. The other options that fit the letters are SUPERPOSES / SUPERPOSED which would make even less sense.

Surely SUPERMODEL is more apt, as in Naomi Campbell

Of course. Thank you.

Let's get the, erm, ball rolling again with another, probably easy, smutty one shall we?

Masturbate, fondling ball, getting excited to climax, as it were (2,2,5)

I haven't been able to solve the Blob 'loose woman' one above - perhaps someone can finish the job? There's also a rather dull clue unsolved which I posted a while back.
and as for rab's ... SO TO SPEAK - 'Masturbate' = TOSS - 'fondling ball' = O - 'getting excited' [anagrammed] ending with PEAK = 'climax'. Definition = as it were. Well, you get the jist. Nice and sleazy. More clues please.

Chalky] I went round and round in circles with your clue, all that I could come up with was * ASTUTENESS from astute being almost acute but no idea about the "expulsion" part.

[Inkspot] Thanks for trying - no-one else has. Your answer isn't what I had in mind. It has occurred to me that it's one of those clues that 'could' be several things, therefore, not a very good one! If anyone else wants to have a crack at it, please be my guest. I compiled it myself and deliberately tried to 'crypticize' it, thinking I was being clever. Shall I post some letter clues?

Yes please.

I was trying to post this last night when MC5 started to go nuts. Seed of the Greenwich time signal (3) In the meantime, Chalky, yes, do letters.

Slightly pointless expulsion under ruling. [10]
. U . . E . T . . .
Darren - Is it PIP ?

Chalky - yes. Is yours SUBJECTION?

Darren - absolutely yes. Now, as you seem to know about these things - would my clue have 'held up' even without the letters to guide the way?

Well, "slightly" for SUB took me a while to get. But that's just my failing! "Under" seems a little superfluous to me, though.

I think it works as a clue, however.

Thanks - I see your point. But without the preposition, the definition would have been 'ruling' - which could be perceived as a verb, therefore the solution would have ended .......ING. Yes?

The fact it *could* be perceived as a verb is irrelevant. It's OK to be misleading in a cryptic clue! Just because the straight def ends in "ING" doesn't mean the solution necessarily has to do so, as long as it's still a valid definition.

Here's one. Let's see how you go:
Attractive ribbon put to sound use [8,4]

That'll be MAGNETIC TAPE, I think.
This is shoddy, but it's late at night -
Poor man, since returning passport to province [8]

Searching for place in England, bugger all good to vegetarians (7 down)

[Noodle] We need the number of letters, not its position in the grid ;o)

Sorry, there are 7 letters, and it is down, although I suppose its verticality is irrelevant.

[Wol] Yes. Is yours Manitoba?

I'd like to see your full deconstruction of that one - I'd be amused if it worked. But no, that isn't it.

Not in England as far as I know, but there is an Omstead County in the US. Not that that helps, but then I'm completely useless at crosswords.

Wol - I believe it's INDIGENT and here's why: INDIGENT=poor (straight def) As for the rest, man=GENT. passport (ID) to province (NI) = IDNI, returning (reversing) to INDI. "since" means put GENT after INDI. Hence, INDIGENT.

[Darren] word - and letter - perfect.
