(I always know I'm going to get in trouble when the Google results for a phrase consist of nothing but arguments over proper usage... but “oaf" works much better than “UFO!" ) Congrats to Rog for an impressive unscrambling! ===[**CDM**]===

Glad you found the belt, Demosthenes - it's become a treasured relic (like Mrs Worrier...) Travel delay reported to pugilist (9)
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

OK - a whole raft of hints:
- direct on the right - 2½ vowels - one indicator - wordplay 3+5 3+6

Once again I can't count! Wordplay 3+6, I repeat 3+6 The half a vowel is what I have seen defined as a "semi -vowel"

Hm....
You're looking for a word that means "travel" plus a word that sounds like a word meaning "delay ". Together they give a word that describes a type of pugilist.
And there's a Y ("semi-vowel") in there...

You're quite right, and thank you! I'm risking another pair of linked clues with no e in either of them: 1. One entering college hashed 2 (12) 2. Perhaps try private rendition of 1 (5-7)

As you have probably gathered, these are anagrams of each other: the answers contain two each of a r and t, the other letters not being repeated. 1. cvccvcvcvcvc 2. cvvcc-cvccvvc In 2 private is a noun.

1. first letter m, last letter r 2. first letter c, last letter l - where/how would a private be tried?

I am intrigued, but still struggling to figure out how to even begin to work out an answer to this one... ...and in passing, a crossword site I stumbled across which may amuse some of you https://www.crosswordunclued.com
