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, alternative spellings or short phrases in there, and remember it was compiled by a Brit.

Quite a short one this time (I found a fortuitous "wrap-round" early on, and wasn't going to waste it!) so just a couple each to start with, pretty please. smile

-1. Person dealing with diseases and malformations of the oral cavity dentist
-2. Narrow fleshy area between the sides of the lower jaw of a fish isthmus
-3. Brawny muscular
-4. Any of several plants belonging to the genera Delphinium and Consolida larkspur
-5. In a manner comfortable to, according to pursuant
-6. Material comprised of (amongst other gubbins) antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons antimatter
-7. Tremendous terrific
-8. Work of imaginative narrative fiction
-9. Hebridian island with abbey founded by St Columba (To spread Christianity to the Scots(!)) Iona
10. Goods received prior to acceptance and payment on approval
11. Having some foundation, based on truth valid
12. Alice, said to be the inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Liddell
-13. A sequence of three dots (…) indicating an omission in text elipsis
-14. Fibre used in rope-making sisal
-15. Virologist who developed anti-polio vaccine Salk
-16. Saturated, aliphatic hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH(2n+2) alkanes
-17. Nickname of mythical(?) Scottish lake-dweller Nessie
-18. Mexican mountain range, backdrop f]or John Huston classic Sierra Madre
-19. Native American handmade hoop dreamcatcher
-20. Following immediately after this hereupon
-21. Setting for 60s Western TV series Ponderosa
-22. Saudi Arabian terrorist Osama bin Laden


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.
