8dn,'Keen to keep old pro with matches where it's not plain sailing',(7,7), ?O?R?N? T?R?I?S;

19ac,'Send away trash',(5,3), ?R?T? OUT.

Both easy, can't do either.

matches = ties

keen + raring

pro - for
matches - ties

Roaring forties must be right. I suppose that to send trash away is to write it off and that trash is a write-off; but only just. Many thanks.

the way I read it is "send away" is to write off as in the sense of writing off for something. To trash something is to write it off
