Am stuck on two: Foreign Office fibbed about terribly rude range of delusions [5,2,8]: -O-E- -E ----D--- [think it must be an anagram but after many attempts I still can't work it out - think the last word could be GRANDEUR]
Quirkily different, he read to bird [9,6]: -E-T----D --I-N- [again, I think it must be an anagram].
