I like Mark Twain's comment on politicians: "Politicians are America's only native criminal class."
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I always thought Mark Twain said: "Congress is America's only native criminal class."

Like it! 
Nice and simple - I'll post a solution later if no-one else does (give 'em a chance!)

Cheers... Hopeful before my bedtime!

I have no idea when your bedtime is: the camera feed in your house is down and the repair guy is busy. 
Couple hours, I guess will be fair to them all.

Nice one!

And naturally you were dying to do it
Or are you at the point were you struggling to think of something new....

No, I've got three in my "WSO CCC" file ready to go when I need them - I just don't want to monopolise the game! Or force someone to do it again the next day - except Pompey boy with the FSOW of course - that wouldn't be fair either.
Pompey boy is fair game for torture, given his solution is always the same anyway!

Yes. I got a few up my sleeve, but when I look closely at them, i start to have my doubts they're any good. Sometimes it the best of a bad bunch of what's left

Or you spend ages getting them right...and some b@st@rd solves 'em in 30 seconds...

I think that's better than than not having it solved. Feel like a puzzle maker failure then.

Hectare? Anagram of teacher, not quite sure if that's what bought means?
|
|
|
|

I reckon so

Congratulations. You're up tomorrow. The bought didn't mean anything, just a puzzle filler

Time to don Worzel's thinking head.

Cryptic clues are supposed to have two parts, the definition and the cryptic bit. In this case the cryptic bit should include a word or phrase that suggests the answer is an anagram. Something like (over simplified):
Teacher mixed up but got some land.

I agree. It's easy with hindsight. It's the foresight part I struggle with.
|
|
|
|
|
Me too.

That's why I try to write them well in advance, and leave them alone until they have "matured". If they still make sense, I'll post 'em.
