Very mixed bag for me, this. Some delightful clues, but several odd definitions and ones that I can only partly parse.

Stuck a bit in the NE. Could someone please give me a hint on 5d
Stop caring so much, stupid (8)

M?N???A?

(Only positive about the M; the N is from one I've not fully parsed - especially the N! - and the A, if correct, is from a very odd definition.)

The A is wrong. My answer could be broken into two halves - separately it fits the first phrase in the clue, rejoined it defines the last word.

Thanks malone - I'll give it some thought.

Got it!

My 'help' might not have been that helpful, I'll try again...

???? ???? = first chunk of clue
???????? = last word of clue.

Good!

Finished but quite a challenge I thought - which is good for a Prize. My only doubt is 19a. I've put in an answer which certainly fits with the first part of the clue but would need to be an adverb to fit the second part. Any thoughts?

Similar doubts, simond9x.

There are several I don't fully understand, in fact.

Which are your others?

Oh, just 1a, 9a, 10a, 14a, 23a sort of, 2d, 15d and 17d.

Some not parsed fully, others raised eyebrows at the definitions.
