15a Fantasy ultimately followed a great deal on Twitter.
P?P? D?E?M. Pipe Dream? But why?
40d Fixed computer gear needing current for a demo primarily. H?R? W?R?D. Hard Wired? But why?

40, Computer gear is hardware. Swop the "a" for "i", the symbol for current giving hardwire. Add " d" for (d)emo primarily, giving hard wired.

Very good. Thank you.

Pipe is the note of a bird's voice, hence twitter?

Anyone help with a decent parse for.....


11down Ball finally lost by Atletico with seconds to go here? (5) A?E?A

All I am getting is ARENA - best and a lousy try is....

ARSENAL (why Arsenal, I have no clue lol)

Minus L (last of ball)
Minus S (seconds)

Put me out of my misery.

I've just noticed " ball lost to Atletico----" Where has this come from? It's not in my paper!

11 down - thank you.

Clue in my paper reads. "Arsenal failing to finish with seconds to go here?"
