The second sentence of the preamble makes clear where all the across clues are entered

I've got the theme followed the instruction and done my 'artwork', but I can't for the life of me work out the last across clue, starting 'Feels good'. Would anyone be able to give me a hint (not the answer) please?

It starts 'feels'

Thanks woodlouse, got it now.

I've been wondering why no one else has picked up on the observation that something's not quite right.

Leaving aside the clues I haven't fully resolved (e.g. the 'bag' is obvious, but where does the 'paper' come into it?) and an unsatisfactory indicator in one of them ('upset' shouldn't indicate reversal in an across clue), my final grid shows an anatomical deformity.

Where have I gone wrong?

Hi, ionacarr,

The clue you refer to is “Twisted paper that Charlie leaves under golf bag”. I’m not sure that they are strictly equivalent, but the middle three letters of “paper” can mean “a coarse, clumsy or stupid person”, and “Charlie” can mean “an inefficient, ineffectual person a fool”. So take the three middle letters out of “paper” reverse (“twist”) them, put G for golf on top, add a missing letter, and you get the obvious “bag”.

Not sure what the anatomical deformity you refer to is, but looking at the original work, I can see an asymmetric treatment at the foot of the image, which may prompt the asymmetry at the foot of the grid.

I should have written “reverse the two remaining letters”.

My fourth and easily most difficult Listener yet. Cluing seems opaque and preamble borderline incomprehensible. Can someone please give me a nudge as to how to proceed? Managed a handful of clues in the top half, but can't really get anywhere without the two across "Priest masks" and "Rum's all". Any hints?

I've not looked at the previous postings in case I inadvertently see an answer. I'm way behind but have tentatively started placing some answers in the grid. If I'm right in my assumptions as to where the Across solutions go, I can't find anywhere in the grid to place my answer to the Down clue starting 'Deity'. I suspect I may have the wrong answer to the Across clue starting 'Doctor' as I can't see the entire wordplay. Does it start 'A' and end in 'E'? Thanks

Simon, the Doctor clue is a Scottish town starting with A and ending E. They have a football team!
