(Soberish)
For the record I’m not on the same bus as the great Alan Turing - but I have good friends who bat from the father of 6 king of the jungle end.

I’m stuck on a couple, help appreciated

18a, “inexperienced with old chap - is it long, thin and worth a gobble? (5,4) ” g-e- - / -e-n

25a, “Loved, as a used blob-stopper after a party (6)”, a- o - - -

Thanks

Just worked out 18a, green bean. Still stuck on 25a, could be adored but can’t parse it

Green bean? (surprisingly clean)
Adored?

A + Do + Red (unsure what a blob stopper is, but it's not difficult to guess)

Just got 25a, adored = “red” after “a do”

Thanks for all the help - really appreciated
