Well, Lots of Nonsense isn't quite going according ot plan either. Is it because its too crytpic, or just no good?
Well, here is an attempt to make it work a bit better.
I have chosen a word. I've changed the first letter which gives a new widely known word. Then change it back, and change the second letter, resulting in a new word.
an example?
A muddy English toilet -bog
To get into the groove. -dig
Girlish point?- dot
Hence the original word was dog
Okay, here goes.
Strong sounding bug
To tease
Wheeled transport
Information pieces.
Hopefully, this should be easy enough, or I've lost touch with the puzzly bit of my brain.

I don't think it's complete, but some of it's correct (I think)
Strong bug - Mite
To tease - Bait (bate?)
Wheeled transport - Bike
Information - Byte (Bite?)
edit
second thought, i think I've got it, except the second one
Mite
B_te (bete? bate?)
Bike
Bits
That makes "Bite", but I dont know about the second line

Yep, thats it. My mistake on the second one   . Really thought it was correct spelling for teasing... ho hum. Could change it to "Island on the Clyde"
Nice work- was getting worried that these were uninteresting. Are these okay? Have been thinking of evolving them
to be more like
Model inlet on carboard container? (3)
or
Perfume counter to avoid powder. (4)
Except they're not quite there either. will mull over somoe with a beer tonight.

I like 'em, Noke. I'd like to see more. I'm not sure what you mean with the two other lines, but go ahead and post some more. By the way was line 2 supposed to be bait?

thanks.
The second line was bate, cos' I is a bit unlitter ate from time 2 thyme. So I changed it to Bute.
THe evolved ones, you've got to pick where the clues are. The number at the end, as with crosswords, signifies how many letters in teh answer.

For lots of nonsense, the main word is 8 letters longs. Have ot check that's what I wrote- doesn's seem familiar.
made a few on the bus this w/e. Evolution continues- they're not necessarily in order, finding that a bit restrictive in making the clues run nicely.
Firmly gripped a fixed pattern to dissolve in honey drink. (4)
Conservative settling gave rise to lake. (4)
"A sort of hat for top of your neck" thought that was explained. (4)
Desire a beer through the window (4)
Youth to note blue bird (3)
Well dog up for a dance (3)
Said to them "Angelic game puts on a facade" (4)
Become an expert forger though swinger sibling obscured. (6) (only got 5 clues here)

I think I may have fupped up!
the first part seems to be "head".
to get there, the start word could have been
Bead dead lead read mead
or
heat heal heap held heed herd (hear doesn't lend itself to much)
