forget that one, not kate hudson, Katie, as in Katie price, so answer no. 2 is JORDAN.

Thank you very much - I have myself just got Jordan by googling Katie (being a bit ancient, I'm out of touch). Still stuck on the other one, though.

Would you care to think about another one, please? "Breaking news about a game ending with the whistle! (6)"

TheWinner

Hi, just back on here.
I think this last one is Swanee (part anagram of news, and there is a swanee whistle another name for a slide whistle).

I'm thinking of orders, reverse...

EBO
EBM
..... but I'm not getting very far!

TheWinner

Hi boxtops, I was thinking on the same lines. However, this is the best I can do. Order can sometimes also mean it could be an anagram. If we look at the word Victorian, I can make the river Acton, and the place Acton is also within London I believe (a victorian city). Also, you ACT ON an order.

Question Author

I like Swanee - many thanks. One thought I had a day or two ago for "Order is brought back etc" is EBOLA. OBE reversed plus LA, a city. Ebola fever is named after the Ebola River, a tributary of the Congo. However, I don't think this is the answer - no connection with Victorian as far as I can see and it doesn't fit the structure of the clue anyway. Thank you for your continuing thoughts.

does anyone know "an area of sea off lincolnshire contains tar from ohio"

Badger4

Question Author

Wash plus AB (= tar = seaman) gives Wabash.

The Yarra River (=Array reversed) flows through Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria in Australia.

This now only leaves -

Game head boy, sick at heart - and no turning back! (7)

Hot thermals fade over this stretch of water (3,6,6)

A couple of thoughts -

no turning back = "on" as last two letters, with "ill" in there somewhere. But doesn't seem to work.

Anagram of "Hot thermals fade".
