First letter of 25D is not correct. (Person's bottom). It's an obscure word.

15D I'd not heard of either but thesaurus.com sorted me out and I parsed it afterwards.

15D parses as 3 letter "information" (has come up a fair bit recently) surrounded by "lists, briefly", as in lists you have at the end of books (briefly = missing the last letter).

Thanks @paradigmshifter I can see 15 now but I don’t like it.

25 sorted - a new one on me. And 24 fixed.

Can sleep now and still got the whole Saturday magazine to read and all the number puzzles to do tomorrow. 😊

Well I was moaning to my work colleagues about the slack plurals that seem to be allowed these days (matrix, vertex, dices!) so it was good to see the proper usage of the plural of that word (albeit "briefly").

I wasn't familiar with the word though (but I guessed the "information" part and looked on thesaurus.com).

I'm surprised you don't like them. Sometimes I hate them, but I rather liked this one. Do keep trying them.

I don't like the ones where if you don't get the theme word (referenced everywhere seems like) you have no chance.

I seem to remember you gave up on the TOOL one Roof, that was good though and worth going back to, was very entertaining.

The "THANKS" one is here... took me 3 days on and off to figure it out lol!

Thanks for the hint yesterday Brendan - making progress!

Managed to get the theme pretty quickly but had to check a few of the themed solutions as I'm not a crockery expert. I have finally finished but am unable to parse14a, despite spending ages looking at, which is bugging me rather.
