...............although perhaps it means ** "in the ***", using the 3-letter word as a noun: then the clue's OK!

Thanks; but in that case shouldn't it be "dispose" in the clue rather than "disposed" plus some indication that the note is hidden in the noun/verb?

i struggled a lot with this puzzle but i liked this one. if ?? is put in the ???, then it has been "disposed of". seems fair to me?

It's taken much of the day, but I'm still stuck on one last clue. Any help much appreciatedm

27ac. Backing miserable sinner taking next and last gram (9)
_N_O_S_O_

Assuming DO and M are involved

not M, i made the same assumption. i don't think the word 'last' should really be in the clue it's seems to be just for padding.

...more importantly, the O is wrong. i also had that wrong (i, mistakenly had unhook as the down clue).

...that's the the 2nd O.

Unhook is what I had too. Thanks for the pointers. I'll have another look at it now

Got that one now. I had thought it was an anagram earlier but was thrown by the M. Now have no idea what 23 d is, however!
Thanks again trevor.

Got that one too now- silly me, was thinking the I was second to last not the N. It's late! At least I can go to sleep now it's finished
