Embarrassed to say that I have completed a very difficult puzzle bar for two - and they look easy. But I am stuck.
16 A
Name mostly remains as a pamphleteer (5)
N - S - E

and, even more embarrassing,
25D
Computer language invoked in data repeatedly (3)
A - A

16a Thomas NASHE
25d answered yesterday as"ADA"

Named after Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and collaborator with Charles Babbage on calculating machines - see:

Many thanks, I googled said Mr Nashe and now I know. Computer language was a new one and I did not note yesterday's entry though I scrolled through before sending off my own this morning.
But again, Thank you very much.

As the link didn't work I thought this would be next best thing.

i still don't get ADA, how does the clue work?

Hm. In American English at least the T in data sounds rather like a D. Do you think the setter simply means that the sound ADA is invoked in data "repeatedly" (as pronounced)?

are we supposed to repeat the word Data to get dat(ada)ta?

Oh, yes, of course that's it, trevor.

sorry Aristo, didn't see your post, still not seen an answer that convinces me tho. oh well, ho-hum, no harm done.
