I used to be a setter of abstruse crosswords, but I got BARRED.

Is the nine letter word to be highlighted in a straight line?

Just found it!!

Thanks for the info kirky - that's a new one on me.

Thanks to all for the hints, have plugged away and am down to my last two 6d, is it an opera? Can't get a grip with the parsing at all, when I put the bits together I can't find a word in the BRB and the final 'job' leading from there is missing. I have all the letters and the word to be high-lighted now just knashing of teeth!

6 D is two words - referred to in the list of jobs.

What's your other one?

Hi mm, remember 2 unclueds are 2 words and 6d is one of those (1,5) should help.

Sorry, I have confused all. The 6a is the clue I can't get...is it an opera? and the 'job I am missing is the un-clued entry going from the last letter of 6a. I have the 6d 'job' thank you.

6 Across isn't an opera. A three-letter word for 'painting' with the usual crossword letter for 'one'. It's a Scottish word meaning direction, place.


The last job is exhausting...

Oh for heavens sakes! I am getting worse, the job it's ..... so obvious!
Thank you.
