The following clues form a word chain. The last three letters of one word or phrase form the first three letters of the next word, and the list wraps round from the last word to the first. Mostly straightforward with the odd one needing the Stitchionary, but there may be one or two hyphenated words or short phrases in there, and remember it was compiled by a Brit. Quite a few there, so feel free to grab a couple:)

Skip dumpster -7. Geological order, 65 million to 2 million years ago tertiary -8. Descendant of prehistoric Indo-Europeans Aryan -9. NATO phonetic word that represents the penultimate letter in the alphabet Yankee -10. Momento keepsake -11. Leader of the wolf pack in The Jungle Book Akela -12. Middle East national airline El Al -13. Loiter aimlessly lallygag -14. Early astronaut Gagarin -15. Person in charge of a circus performance ringmaster -16. Row of adjoined houses terrace -17.

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
