for number think anaesthetic!

Latin for the 1st clue

conversely is the defn part

Thanks ixion - i had that answer as a possibility and now i see why.
Thanks trevor. I've got the latin phrase. The last part is an anagram the first part a failing.

Hi all,
Your regular readers, as well as starting IN 8across will find it in the isthmus between Mexico and Colombia. They may pass the Ewing family ranch in Texas (after six)and see 3 down.They did have many thoroughbred horses (18down).
Be good

Evening All
Spent all this afternoon at Legoland with my grandaughter so only just got round to it this week. Generally, not as bad as last week and I must admit I got some help from you all re 9a.
I dont think there were any outstanding clues this week but equally, no really horrific ones

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 09:45 I will be sitting an examination on Jurisprudence - the very last examination of a three-year LLB degree in Irish Law.

So why, at 05:30 the day before, am I pulling out my hair to work out the derivation of 2a? Indeed, why am I not reading about the Hart-Devlin debate instead of doing the RT crossword in the first place?

Please, someone, tell me why 2a is what it is... and, yes, I do understand the use of the word fashion as a verb.

The best I could come up with was the two letters of the sound used by people to tell others to be "quiet", followed by a three letter word for a primate that can also mean copy - "after a fashion".

Anyone got a better idea?

My favourite clue was 20a.

Jon in I

(sh)quiet - exercise(pe)after(a) - fashion

Thanks Ixion. The problem ofhaving a background in IT is that one sometimes over-analyses.

Hi Jon in Ireland - good luck with the exam - I thik what you were doing is called 'displacement activity'!!!! Do it all the time....
