I have finished this one now (I think!) but the parsing of 4 clues escapes me, so any help to clarify would be appreciated as always.
43A Essay: what's repeated in it (6) T-E-I-, I have thesis
13D Resembling pointed object made of lead with which to dig (8) -T-R-I-E, I have starlike but can't see second half of clue.
35D Block in front of belfry, steep to either side (5) D-B-R, I have debar but again can't see second half of clue.
38D Rabbit crossing line disturbed one sent mushrooming (5,6) C-A-N -E-T-R, I have chain letter but no idea why!
I feel the need to get even with this compiler!
