Defeated by this, several I couldn't solve including:

13a Thin computer disk lay rejected in corner (8)
Notebook? Can't parse it, apart from the "nook" for corner,

22a Moan about Liberal receiving admiration from the East (6).
-----l.

8d. Memory stick, one without flexibility (6). --m---.

18d. Cold, alien temperature round planet's mid-sized mountain (7), c---e-t.

Nook + disk - 0 + bet - lay - reversed- notebook?

Lib + awe from the east - bewail?
Ram- memory - rod - stick - ramrod?

C orb et t ? (Scottish mid sized mountain)

Thanks all. Can't say I enjoyed it. When you have to know the name of a mid-sized mountain in Scotland to solve a puzzle it's probably time for me to look for a different setter.

All of us say you're welcome.

The Times Crossword has approximately a dozen different setters, not just one.

But, strangelybrown......you DON'T "have to know the name of a mid-sized mountain in Scotland to solve the puzzle"!
You work out the answer from the parsing of the clue. and with the additional help of your crossers!
This is a cryptic crossword, not a quiz!

Corbett isn't a specific "mid sized mountain", but any mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet; mountains of more than 3000 feet are (the more well-known) "Munros".

Just as well it wasn't a clue for the lesser known marilyn.
