Actually Saucepan's being quite kind, and if you've ever tried the Times crossword you'll know what I mean. The answer to that last one is Palantír, and it works like this:

Friend = pal
Worker = ant
One = Roman numeral 'I'
River = abbreviated to 'r'

The clue for the whole being 'visual aid'. Cunning.
