How about this for a twist on the CCC theme?
Two linked clues, provided without definition, leading to two synonymous answers:
1) Insanely nice record, we hear ... (9)
2) ... covering hit with upgraded intro (4,4)
Edit:
Well no-one got it and it's miles down the page now, so the answers were:
1) Cinephile (insanely nice = CINE + PHILE soundex FILE = record)
2) Film buff (covering = FILM hit = CUFF - initially upgraded, the C changes to a B)
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

That should be CAN Counfound Clifton.
I never have a clue how to solve those things and always admire the genius of those who do. Not to mention the skill that goes into creating them!

Shouldn't that then be "...downgraded intro"?
I certainly wasn't even close to getting them

A "B" is a better grade than a "C" (or so they tell me, I rarely scraped anything higher than an E when I was at school!  )

Ah, yes indeed.
I know the feeling... I like to think of myself as a late developer....

I'm definitely a late developer - usually months past the deadline!

I just got an alert on my phone: "Chi Cygnids Meteor Shower".
Not sure what to do with this information...

Prime 400! That brings back memories; we only had a 350 (IIRC). 6 char userids. Our dept used person's initials and surname truncated to 6 chars - that generated some amusing / rude nicknames. Can't remember my password - it was ~40 years ago.

It was my first, and I typed it a lot - it's a bit like your first car / bike registration number. I remember that as well: XUD28J - a Honda CD175 that was reasonably knackered when I got it, and a whole load more knackered when I got rid of it ...

Wear a T-shirt reading "Official Government Meteorite Target"?
They can never hit anything
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill
