Punish = fine - push (drive) containing (around) ni (in reverse)

"fine" answer Lex: ===[**WCF**]===

Thank you kind sir!

Leaving crook inside (7) - no e.

Early first day hints: only two vowels, and Koala possibly has an advantage on this one.

2nd day hints: "leaving" is the direct and "inside" is two words sneakily joined together!

What, still unsolved?!? - 3rd day hints, the vowels are both i and "crook" is not in the Ned Kelly sense.

Thassa tuffy Lex; in case ill = crook:

WillING = leaving (as what you'll leave me in your will!)
WING = side (wing of a building?); in = indicator

Go to the top the class young sir!

Here is your reward ===[**WCF**]===

And as an additional "perk" you can have the honour of starting a new thread.

Thanks...sooooooo: is ill = crook?

Sure is!

So, in Aussie slang: Crook : sick, unwell, or badly made

BUT: isn't an indicator required (since not in regular dictionary(ies))?
Like "downunder crook"?

Pandora, get the noodle warmed up!!!
