As always, thumbs up and thanks.

Another relatively straightforward but very enjoyable solve.

G&T time.

Yep, all done but not really convinced my 26a is right.

Tatters, thanks for the puzzle. I thought the same as you for 26, but the last word in the clue is a verb and then matches the definition in Chambers.

Thanx for that. It had to be correct but I just wasn't seeing why.

Thanks again, tatters - after decades of exploitation it's about time there was some kind of tribute!

I have 5 out of 7 thematic answers. Suspect two but have not yet checked TCD.

Help with 9a.
Hardly long-lived, half-blinded king at
Hastings losing life ultimately? (10)

Also is first letter of 21d : F?

Thanks.

(My iPad wanted to change this to Sunday!)

9a is hyphenated, 3-4-3.

Yes to the F.

Thanks rad.

Sometimes autocorrect can come up with embarrassing words.
Sunday is not bad.
