18 is a game with an island in a cold temperature, you will ''kick '' yourself for not getting it .

22a recalls a beheaded Mitchell insult to a policeman .

Hi All I am finished but not satisfied with 24's either answers of parsing .

thanks for those, chris. did you lnow that 18 is (deliberately) the species name of the bird "hobby"? - they weren't allowed to patent "hobby"

24d - double defn

Thanks chrisx/e

I've got 18 now but it seems a little at odds with the rest of the themed answers. Visitors arriving shortly so will reluctantly have to give up on 22 and 24s. A good weekend to all.

finished now. parsings of the 24s look fine to me, chris - i could be more specific?
