Thanks, syzygy.
This was fun: special instructions not so tricky, but many clues were outstanding.

Yes, the clues seemed better than usual.

Really nifty clues, ingenious structure as usual. Thanks so much, syzzie.

Thank you Syz, good fun.

But can anyone help me with 10, I have -IC-RBS but my ignorant British brain is drawing a blank... is it a baseball term?

M

Not that kind of reliever. Something to relieve indigestion.

Aah - thanks MPRS!

M

Thanks again syzygy, I'm in general agreement with the clues.

You're all welcome.
Light entertainment, as usual.
