Gotcha.

I'd still like to know what "Sexually confused midget, covered in yogurt" (8,6) is.

My initial thought was that the 8 might be "bisexual" if sexually confused was the definition, but I can't make it work.

yeah, it irritated me, then i forgot about it.

If forced to guess, i would parse it as:

{defn: Sexually} / [{confused midget}, covered in {yogurt}] (8,6)

so an anagram of midget (or dwarf or sommat), surrounded by something meaning yogurt, all meaning Sexually. It's a bit akward 'cos of the 'ually'

Alternatively,

[{Sexually confused} midget]/ {defn: covered in yogurt}" (8,6)
so an anagram of sexually, with a word for midget, meaning covered in yogurt.

maybe that works better. Either way, I need to know more words for yogurt. Soured cream? Creme Fraiche?

Also, what happened to the 'h' in yoghurt?

You're crazy and unfortunately wrong. On the right track though.

amp's clue feels like it is missing a word or two, but that's ok, cos kyro's has at least two words too many.

think specific and current military alliances...I think you're right though, it needs one more word. How about:

This is a stretch, since both are quasi-cryptic. How does one post in "spoiler" mode?

spoiler mode is unnecessary but you do it with [spoil] tags
