MEATS and just after time GAMEST
PURRED
8*(75-1)-5=587 -went over slightly
RANCID
BOXIER
(7+2)*(10*10+6)+5=959
TOUSLE (from my childhood Enid Blyton days)
8*100-25+(5+3-1)=782
BLATHERED (31s)

Nice work on 959, Mike.

1. MANGOES
2. PRODUCER/PROCURED
3. 587 = 5*100 + 75 + 3*(5-1)
4. STRAND. Rejected the valid SATIRIC.
5. BROMIDE
6. one off: 960 = 10*6*(7*2 + 10/5)
7. HUSTLER
8. 8*100 - 25 + 5 + 3 - 1
9. BLATHERED - 1.5s

Yes, very well done to solve the 959, Mike.

Nice work to spot BROMIDE, Sam; bad luck about rejecting SATIRIC.
