Crossword Genius

Talking incessantly, Nora Batty pinching male jewellery (8,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rambling on

'talking incessantly' is the definition.

'nora batty pinching male jewellery' is the wordplay.
'batty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pinching' means one lot of letters goes inside another (taking inside).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'jewellery' becomes 'bling' (I've seen this before).
'nora' is an anagram of 'raon'.
'm'+'bling'='mbling'
'raon' going around 'mbling' is 'RAMBLING ON'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
