could the theme in 26 be three letters starting with B. A bit slangy.

I have enjoyed reading the posts, and I expect you have all now finished so won't read my post!
It won't let me print the bally thing, so it has taken me longer than necessary, and I can't remember the number of the clue I want to refer to! (fourth across one).
I presume I have the answer, but could someone please give me a hint as to how ES in the parsing refers to Nice artists?

Sorry, second across one.

nikki, I'd like to know that too!

re: 26A, the whole word has another meaning than 'stones', and I thought that fitted the theme.

But only as an unwelcome part, Livs!

Well, quite! It was the first answer I got, and I was worried that was the theme! I could see a queasy day stretching ahead of me...

Don't really get 12A - how is it 'Origin of limp'?

It's that old compilers trick Nikki...Nice (to indicate French) not nice.

es = art

22dn is an anagram of a themed part - but surely that's going a bit far?
No idea about es
26ac- the solution is not an intrinsic part like all the others are.
Good puzzle nonetheless.

Yes, Ixion, that is why i wrote it in capital letters...but still can't find an art movement!
Livs, we simply need the L from limp.

Oh, thanks! I see it now.
Think back to French lessons: je suis, tu es. Art as in thou art.
