I would never have got it without help. I wouldn't have got the 'O' Leo and I wouldn't have realised to drop the 'w'. Something like "sounds like move the boat" would have helped.

I don't disagree with you Sally. That can be said of ALL the clues.

It was an excellent clue GC. It really had my brain whirring this morning.

Please could you share your thoughts on Bertrand Russell ?

I confess I no longer add 'sounds like' as I feel it's assumed in a cryptic clue. But happy to use if it helps.

So long as we know 'sounds like' is always "taken as read" that's fine. It's just that cryptic clues in newspapers indicate it but it's obviously fine if we don't here.

"Historical figure

German city for example, and promote your company for “Big Time Charlie”. Although in a het up mood drop the macho bit before you lose all heart

Het up mood = upset, irate, angry ?

Lost all heart = resign, bleed ?

I wondered if 'lost all heart' was taking the middle letters out of a word and just leaving the first and last

No. They are too embarrassing( knee jerk answer ) and i'm retracting, unless it's right and then it's genius.

German City = Berg

Promote = sell / advertise

BTC = Crypto Coin

typo ? het up mood = get up mood ?

Drop the macho bit before you lose.

The only time I've ever heard Big Time Charlie is when it's used in terms of a right loser.

and when I see example, i think it means e.g. on the end of something.

I tried till my head hurt last night.

Hope this actually has some rhyme , reason and logic to it and it is blindingly obvious.
