Many thanks Phil!

I submitted it yesterday to wordsmith.org
and got a reply today with this comment:

Great anagram -- it's published now:
http://anagramtimes.blogs.wordsmith.org/

The anagram had to be news related.
First time I've sent them an anagram too!

We off to Germany for a week tomorrow.
Back home on 8th Dec.

Cheers all!

Very nice!

Other long words:

Indestructible = Cried, but silent.
Indefatigable = Be lifted again.
Irresistible = Is... is... terrible?
Indispensable = Painless in bed.
Irrefutable = A rebel fruit. ;-)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, MG, but it's actually a well-known
anagram... It dates back to 1929, when 'Gemini' first discovered it.

That's a shame, Mey.

Still a fantastic rediscovery, Mo!
