the last post on the page.

Are the clues all cryptic?

25d Gnar
Range = Ken (range of knowledge). Without Barbi(e)'s bottom - E.

thanx trev looked at shmek but couldnt find definition,gnar looks good,yes all vary cryptic.

21d Spinto(anag).

you did ask for 'any assistance however slight'.

i keep thinking Panhandle, for the last clue, but it only fits the 1st half (and involves a wrong letter).

off out now. best of luck.

get where your brain is at but spinto sort of rules it out not to mention gnar.looking at piepowder sort of medieval court.

from pied poudreux.
Pie - food
Power - might
D - old penny.

still not certain of 23ac have ?O ?O?O
