Rather lovely bush I see. Thanks.

found that a real struggle, i can't be bothered to parse a few.

...to be fair tho, there was also plenty to like.

Unless I'm missing something, the "some itinerant herons" in 17,1 was dreadful clue-setting.

indeed very poor!

yeah, that one stank!

May I tag on to this thread? I am having trouble with this one perhaps because I'm not from the UK. Help with 23a It can come after Michaelmas time of year (5,3)
?A?S? M?Y. Is 10,29 a person? and finally despite the hints already given I can't get 5a Liverpool losing poor first half dismally (7) ?R?I?L? A hint as to the theme would also help.

Hi farr
The ones you refer to are all themed - do you have the theme yet?

Sorry - didn't read your post carefully enough. The theme is "silent partners" (or not!) of entertainers. Some go back quite a long time.

P.S. the entertainer in 23 is American; the rest are (I think) English.
