When you're sitting around with a number of damaged ribs, you begin to think "How can I spread the pain around?" Here's the answer. The answers to all the following clues contain the letters RIB in consecutive positions, but not necessarily in that order. ("Broken ribs" - geddit? ) -1. One of the founders of the United Artists motion picture company -2. Chemical element - one of the rare-earth group -3. Farm cart, used especially during the French Revolution -4. Martial piece of music designed to be played on bagpipes -5. 1970 hit for Anne Murray -6. Money offered in exchange for an illicit advantage -7. Participant in a church service -8. Residential area on the edge of a city -9. Reduce in scope whilst retaining the essential elements -10. Heartbeat irregularity -11. Small burrowing desert rodent -12. The words of an opera or musical play

All good! Would have also accepted terbium and ytterbium, manxman. Not yet, Cue Tripped, went sprawling and either cracked or badly bruised a number of ribs. Over here there don't bother with x-rays unless it'a an obvious bad break, just tell you to go away and pop pain-killers for the nest 4-6 weeks
