When you say "a nice easy one" you do know how dumb that makes the rest of us feel? Or is it just me?

Hopefully, it's just you!
I've noticed that what is an "easy clue" for some is impossible for others, and vice versa - maybe I shouldn't have called it easy ...
Mind you, I thought yesterday's was fairly easy - did it make sense to you once you had the answer?

Yes when you post the answer I usually know what the answer is.
How about next week you post the answer and we work out the question.

Usually I would agree with you, I often have struggled with supposedly easy ones. Pretty sure I have got it today though...
My tip of the day here would be:
When looking at a clue, have a quick check to see if any word, or pair of words, have the same number of letters as the answer. If so, then consider looking for an anagram. Especially when there is an anagram identifier such as "undid" present.

... that a great way to get rid of anger is to write letters to people you hate and then burn them.
Seems to be working well!
Only one question - what do I do with the letters?

Keep em as memory. Add pictures of the burning process. Make a memory wall. Connect the dots.

From this story Southwest Airlines employee mocks five-year-old girl called 'Abcde', says mother[^]
According to the Social Security Administration database, 328 children were named Abcde between 1990 and 2013 in the US
While it is unfortunate that the child had epilepsy - completely irrelevant to the story - if you don't want your child to be ridiculed don't give them a ridiculous name. Do these people not know how cruel and mean children (and adults) are, have they not heard A Boy Named Sue[^] (may be a good thing).

I couldn't agree more.
I knew an actual boy named Sue many years ago. I was rather young at the time so I didn't know to ask if his parents were Johnny Cash fans.

Is there any girl that is actually named Sue? Aren't they all actually named e.g. Susan or Suzanne, and Sue is their nickname?
And what would you say if a boy named Sue gives you a smile when he tells you "My full name is Superior"

Also people using antiquated names that went out of style decades ago. I knew a girl named Gertrude in high school (mid-2000s). Felt bad for her. Kids are ruthless; the less ammo you give other kids the better for your kid.

My daughter, who is now in her 40s, was named Nova which was not a common name in those days, she bitched at me all through her teenage years using that as an excuse (she would have bitched at me anyway - teenager).

And now she has a radio station named after her. If she's the one in Greystaynes that is as it's a Sydney radio station.

And when one of the car companies brought out a "Nova" model it did not make my life easier, little trollop still gives me a hard time. Karma is that her kids do the same

You're the one who named her after an explosion and you wondered why she went off on you?
