27 Blowsy, ruddy. It's Blows, strong winds, with the 'y' at the end of 'tragedY'.
1A. Gigaflop, speed measurement for some (computer) circuits. It's Gig, an old fashioned vehicle/carriage and A Flop, a failure.
2 Ice Show, performance. Ice is 'reserve' and Show is an anagram of 'who's'.
1a.Gigaflop - gig(vehicle) + a flop(a failure)
