Cause me to move in my boat before a pee.

I'm struggling with this. Anyone have any ideas ?

Not really !

Boat = ship ??

Before pee = 'o' ?

Cause = Make ?"

Ah it was YOU. Well done with the O

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.

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.

Het up mood = upset, irate, angry ?

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

typo ? het up mood = get up mood ?

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.
