I'm struggling this week - any help will be appreciated.
8a. Part time soldier first in view (8)
I have ---A---E.
15d. Popular Conservative beau living luxuriously (2,6)
I have I-,C-O---.

Hi Wombat.

15d. Popular Conservative beau living luxuriously (2,6) ... IN CLOVER = IN(popular) + C(Conservative) + LOVER(beau).

Thanks Jim.
Another clue is 19d. Bond and co. together in a bog (6) A-E---

Funny one this!

19d. Bond and co. together in a bog (6) AGENTS = A + GENTS(toilet).

I was thinking swamp/ bogged down etc but not toilet thanks again Jim

I have another letter in 8a
---A-A-E

Hi again.

8a. Part time soldier first in view (8) ... SEPARATE(part) = SEE(view) around PARA(soldier) + T(time).

I can put it to bed now - thanks for the explanation Jim

8a is a good one, it's 'Separate'

To Part something is to separate it.

Time becomes 't'
Soldier becomes 'para'
View becomes 'see'

soldier first, ie before the time part of the clue, gives 'parat', put that in 'see' to get separate.

Gees... did I really take that long to type the explaination!?
