we crossed, jono - but, yes - next month - and I did last November, so you may be thinking a different month?

Despite Malone's hint, I'm still struggling with 25d. Apart from that, all finished.

Any further nudges available would be much appreciated

PuzzledPom, if there was an apostrophe, you could think that 20 D belongs to the famous, knighted Scottish cyclist....

Oh yes, the blog was in November, so it was October’s puzzle 244 I was referring to.

I found Claw (aka Dan) on X. He also recently started to set as Tack in the Independent.

An irregular verb

He has finished

You think you have finished

I have a letter in every square and can just about parse most of them.

Thanks, Malone. It's one of a couple of "possibles" I had after your first hint.

No excuses, but not the most elegant clue I've ever seen.

26 ac reads:

Firmly establish dynasty with newspaper (4)

I may have the word but the wordplay beats me. A subtle hint would be great, please.

Hi Mothman,

Thank you very much Brendan. I did not know one of the meanings of the word. Now I do!
