I have four left of which I think I have three but cannot work out the exact derivation, so your help would be appreciated.

Boring thing necessity of registered office (6) TERE_O must be Teredo but why?
Sharpen up, admitting fault, not having bowled fairly (6) ENOU_H must be ENOUGH = HONE backwards + UG but I don't see where the UG comes from
Stand and joke outside school in essence (8) _ER_A_OT is probably BERGAMOT (an essence) but why?

That leavse the one I can't work out at all:
Name among insensitive people for trousers (5) _ONGS

Teredo hidden in clue

So it is!!! Doh!! And the other two?
enough - (b)ug in hone reversed
Question Author
Devious but I like it. I assume fairly means the right way up
Question Author
Double doh - as in fair enough!!
bergamot - gam is a school (of whales) but i don't see where stand and joke fits in.
Question Author
It's a start!! That leaves BER (GAM) OT

One of the meanings of rot is to joke. I presume be is s synonym of stand.
