all that's left to do is some clean-up work

Create solutions for the clues by using the available syllables. The number of syllables in an answer is followed by the number of letters for each clue. Syllables are used only once. When the clues are correctly answered, their first and last letters, reading down, will reveal someones sage advice.

Good Morning soot!

Good morning Gerry and Curly

Curly given the proximity of the letters 'r' and 't' on the keyboard and my propensity for OLO's on occasion I'm confident you encountered the infamous OLO (one-letter-off) post which visits me occasionally, therefore I suspect your #7 Alien post was actually ET

And I also note given the time of my original post that manXman actually squeaked under the wire in time to be included with "most excellent solutions" .. one and all category!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
