You are the solver and a female sheep is ***

Think of another word for the solver (your goodself) and a type of sheep (nothing complicated like a blackfaced welsh) . If you pick the right pair you will see why the answer is what it is .

Hi all. Enjoyed this, not too difficult. Loved 15A.
Can’t solve 26A though, despite all the crossers.

20A made me think of the old Larson cartoon about life on C**** eight.

A first: I got and understand the Spoonerism! Someone else has explained the parsing. Trying to understand 20 but realise jazzgirl has explained it so need to look back. Thanks Everyman!

Hi Barry,

26a - 7 letter "endeavouring to" with the S(on) replaced by "king" - definition is "stinking".

Thanks, Brendan. I’d made a typo in one of the downs!

Nice to sde I was not alone in failing to parse 20. Thanks Mattrom and all!

Other than that, quite a fun crossword I thought with some good chortle moments.

Has anyone explained the last 2 letters of 2d?

Hi Helen, it's IM for Instant Message

Bit harder than usual, 58 mins.

Had to come here for parsing of 20A though, which I had correct anyway.
