Guardian Prize: 11A

[mackania]

It looks like reasserted but I can't quite parse it. I've got aerospace one as ET and debt as red but the rest is a mystery. Assistance would be good. Also got a few that I am feeling a bit 'meh' about. 7d as animated?

[scorpiojo]

Reabsorbed - Red, BA, Bros (group)

[dannyk13]

What is the clue for 11a?

[scorpiojo]

Sorry,BEA not BA for aerospace

[mackania]

I have to say that is pretty brilliant. That's me now completed the 15^15 for the 20th time in a row and this was the most demanding.

[scorpiojo]

11a Once again swallowed up British group, an aerospace one back in debt (10)

[mackania]

I have to say this has been a dreafully difficult solve. 15d is not even a word!

[scorpiojo]

...it's an American word....I'm sure they could have thought of a better one!

[mackania]

Is it? I get its composite it just shouldn't be used in a bloody guardian crossword. Biggest issue today was having Gulag instead of Oflag.

[scorpiojo]

....and I meant BAE not BEA

[mackania]

Your work here is done sir, you don't need to explain typos. I am not even sad I didn't get that answer, it was a tricky clue. 19/1 and 12a were devilish yesterday. I much prefer when Paul sets the clues. No surprises.

[mackania]

I am presuming that 13d is uproarious? It parses well enough but isn't exactly airtight in it's clue.

[scorpiojo]

Yes, uproarious. I didn't enjoy this one at all.

[mackania]

Too many of the clues were weak for me. As I said previously, Paul is much fairer. This required more time.

[mackania]

scorpjio, can you tell me how to parse Ugric? I am not getting it at all.

[scorpiojo]

Ug(h) ric(h)

[mackania]

So (s)he is assuming that most people will have ugh as a form of disgusted?

[scorpiojo]

He is indeed..

[mackania]

Thank you for the imperfect elipses.

[scorpiojo]

My apologies.
In short..
Ug(h) - I'm disgusted
Ric(h) - most fruity

[mackania]

It's okay sir/madam. I got it! There are a few I can't parse to be honest. The inside piece of jigsaw for 'i' is dreadful and 'part of speech' is a terrible answer for that clue.
