Projection of sentimental stuff suiting the nobs? (5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
CORN(sentimental stuff), U(suiting the nobs). Got this from wordplay. Since there’s a bunch of comments about this answer, I’ll add my two cents. Cornu is Latin for horn, and in English means either a horn or a hornlike pattern in nature, so a projection. More commonly found as the first part of CORNUCOPIA, horn of plenty. It might be more common in the USA, but CORN or CORNY meaning sentimental or trite came quickly to me.
