No heart for carnal beast
Bull
carnal beast = sexual animal
bull = uncastrated male of many species
heart = heart of a bull
no = no waayy, bull
ok its a stretch

Originally posted by dang65 View PostI'm not particularly confident about this, but another word for carnal could be "sensual" and if you take the heart (centre bit) out of that then you get "seal". Which is a kind of beast. Perhaps.

At least my answer fits the clue perfectly, even it does have slightly the wrong number of letters.
Ruin tip of plant that's placed in the ground
tip of plant = p
ground = soil
tip of plant placed in ground = s p oil
ruin = spoil

I'm well impressed. I think it would be Porn if it was the private eye crossword, but in this instance (the Listener), Pulp seems correct. ( I should have got that one. )
I'll check when I get home how it all fits together.
Thanks!
