Enjoyed that. COD 1D/22A & 12A.

in 3d the "in" isn't needed at all - "bog shed" could referring to an outdoor privy

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, Paul is not everyone’s faveourite but I really like his humourous clues, enjoyed 7 d and its link to 10 ac . Never heard of the music or the jelly in 6 down but got there.. eventually.

Like Brendan I didn't do too well in first ten minutes. I only got two in first read through. FOI was 7d. I may have got 10ac, but I'm not sure as like Chris I don't think it means that.

So I have done half and now need some hints to take me forward. What about 1,22/ I have ??? g???S ????D?

and 13d I have ??E?E???U? I have a word that fits, but can't parse it. I'm guessing the definition is super.

Apologies - I got 22d and 22ac muddled up. I've just got 22d. My letters for 1d, 22ac are now ??? g???S B?O?S?

Hi Roof,

How is Oscar's paw, did the antibiotics work?

1,22a Your D should be an S - It's a sort of humorous double cryptic definition. What you might call a wimp or "weed" and what an Amazonian woman might wear.

13d I'm sure the word your thinking of is correct. Definition is "super" and is a slang term for "pocket"/steal minus the usual 2 letters for "sovereign" around a 4 letter word for "change"/alter/fix.

1,22 - All your letters are correct.

... and I hate it when there is even a hint of football in a clue. What have Bayern Munich got to do with anything? Is it the name of a German league - Bundes something? Is this the anagram??

I think I might have got it.

10a it's not a definition I knew but it's a 'final letters' clue so must be right.

1,22 if you were writing the second word there would be an apostrophe in it.

That's it Roof, the only anagram and it's a foreign word!! The German league.
