Much to my own surprise I got ETYMON, but am still stuck on 8 in the top right corner.

Would some kind person tell me :
7A - Male needing to change a great amount, one immersed in deep thoughts (11)
M???????O?S

Thanks in advance......

Thanks for this - so good of you to leap so nobly into the breach.

I'd actually thought of this, but hadn't entered it as I couldn't confirm it with any further Down answers. However I've no realised what 8D is.

I'll now struggle on, but may be back - probably tomorrow.

Thanks again!

And - much to my surprise - I think I've finished.

Incidentally does anyone know why the font on the opening Forum page appears to have changed to a rather squitty Times New Roman or some such?

Or is it just my machine which has been playing up of late?

Bear, I thought I was the only one getting the rather odd-looking font change! It's not there all the time, but often enough to disconcert me.
