Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
So pleased with that, you can never be sure whether anyone is giving it a go or not. Thanks for giving it a go Mick, and yes 100%. Needs to be pitched somewhere between too easy and too hard, hope it was reasonably challenging. My own creation of a "Haggard hawks-esque" puzzle. His included some pretty obscure words.

Well done Mick
It was an order of magnitude too hard for me...

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Rest assured it was well compiled for the more determined puzzler. It took me half an hour to get close and another 10 mins to crack my final word. I had stupidly got the introductory word wrong leaving me with an 'E' when I needed the 'Y'. I'll let you work out my error!

For me it will always be the man who got us up into the second division in my boyhood supporting of Watford: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Furphy

A variation of tinnitus where you hear bells ringing constantly?

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Indeed.
I have an LP bought in 1967 after a recommendation by a workmate, by Shawn Phillips, "I'm A Loner".
A track on the called simply "Bells" and it arises there. It isn't on YouTube but "The Bells Of Rhymney" is and redirection often go to that. Not good as he fakes an Irish accent.
It is available by Phil Ochs, who allegedly wrote it, but it is poor. Also it is mentioned that it was actually written by Edgar Alla Poe.
Shawn Phillips played sitar for Donovan on some of his records.
I often find the word in my head although I haven't played the LP in years.

Catalogue which covers the entire range of this attractive Ironwork. We wish to draw your attention to the importance of having these goods Sherardized as a protection against rust. Care should be taken to ensure that all wood screws, coach bolts, or other fastenings are also Sherardized
