Anybody need any help with this?

Too right I need help!! Other than 1 across (nambypambies) I cannot get my head to work this morning and I usually finish this crossword. Probably too much red wine last night - papers a day late here!! 4 down could help get me going as would 2,3,5,6,7,8 and 9. Doh!!!

Hi Bob,
A stinker this week;A FAT LOT,MOUP,YEARN,BITE OR SUP,INANGA,STOGEY the last one being a cheap cigar.
Hope these help you finish it,
Best regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I am deeply grateful. Will wade in again and report back. Off to lunch!!! Bob

Glad to see the comments. I have been completing Mephisto for more years than I care to remember, and this must be the first time I've failed. I need 17 across - to??e, and 8 down. The definitions are too obscure.

Hi Audrey,
17a TOGUE,which is the Great Lake char what that has to do naff off is beyond me!
8d INANGA IN+(t)ANG+A A fish from Australasia.
Tang is coarse seaweed minus the T = ANG. If I
am correct,I think these clues are a bit tenuous.
Very best regards to you,
Jerry

TONGUE is the language (less N - the beginning to naff)

Thanks Don,
You cleared that up for me,I did it yesterday
pm and missed the connection!

Thanks for the help, Jerry. First time I've seen this site - must keep watching!
