Thanks for picking my clue, Anax.
I've picked a nice, short word this week:
OGLE
Good luck with that one, everyone. I will judge on Friday.

This is really, really difficult, I don't know how you guys do it! I think you are allowed to use 'fucking' for anagrams here? If not, I'm terribly sorry!! _________________ Panda to me. |

Ben, the really annoying bloke from Castaway who then became an even more annoying tv presenter but we shouldn't say too much about him because he's recently eaten a flesh-eating bug by mistake and is really quite unwell, loses his head mounting Glen. (4)
Glen Ogle is a Scottish climbing area and Ben Fogle is the chap |

Drool over fucking Lego (4)
I don't really like fucking! I am quite happy with fucked though. But I think it's pretty subjective. Mad props for spotting the OGLE-LEGO anagram!
Stare inside dog, lecherously (4)
I'm not really a grammar expect, but the comma suggests that this construction is a little forced. In natural speech I would expect the verb and adverb to appear together.
Leer at spot in cockney's orifice (4)
I think this is good. Rather than leer, I'd probably do something else - depending on the type of spot.
Starts to open girl's legs expecting to have a good old look (4)
I smiled here.
Perv ends up with teenage girl - fucking paedo (4)
I don't think I'd write a paedo clue but this works well, although possibly not perfectly. I love the word perv - useful for Scrabble.
go back before the first two lesbians view one with sexual interest (4)
I like clues to start with a capital letter, unless there's a good reason not to. I am not sure about 'first two lesbians'.
Spaniard's cry of excitment smothers initial groans of peer (4)
I liked this. But, being picky again, 'initial groans' doesn't mean G to me.
Letch curled log on middle of cyclepath
Nice imagery.
Watch the ring and leg pervert (4)
Technically fine but it didn't make me smile, I'm afraid.
Ben, the really annoying bloke from Castaway who then became an even more annoying tv presenter but we shouldn't say too much about him because he's recently eaten a flesh-eating bug by mistake and is really quite unwell, loses his head mounting Glen. (4)
Bit too long, really. And I don't care what he's eaten, he's still a twat.
I think the winner is Anax, the fucking paedo.
Over to you. |

Maybe you just haven't met the right girl!
Thanks for the feedback, foggyweb. I'll try harder this week!
