Stuck on last one. Waiting for someone to make me kick myself:
9d At end of all-night party, left to go (6). T?A?E?...

Two from Monday's FT which are bugging me and I'd appreciate ideas: Be sure! Run and see (4) R?L? Keen to support Saturday lottery (5) S?E?P (I'm almost sure about both the E and the P but it wouldn't...

5d. "Shiner might work" I have C-N-P-S, but I'm beginning to wonder if I've made a mistake wirth the C (1a: face-to-face) becaue sunspot might somehow fit the bill, so to speak. Any help?...

I'm stuck on four clues. I'll think about them before asking for help, but there's one for which I see little hope: 38d. Francs taken into account as economic measure (9). I have: O - F - A - I - N....

Stuck on last two. Help will be much appreciated, since can then go shopping with clean slate. 27 across. Banker one no longer loved, we hear (3). E - E 41 down. Sentimental stuff by Lamb that could...

As happens almost every time, I'm left with a single unsolved clue. It's a strange syndrome which prompts me to doubt my sanity. Does anyone else here have the same experience? Anyway, sometimes I go...

Finally got round to it today and stuck on last one -- as every time.
28d. Sounds like a small bird: in what way a titillating sight (4,4). P - E - / S - O -. Can't see it!...

BIll
Last one has me beaten yet again. 26d. Bowled - certainly not a fast ball! - for a duck. B - OB. B + LOB I suppose. But why a duck? Is this a duck I don't know?
|
BIll
Last one yet again! 13a. The charts moved apart, leather-bound? (3, 6). H - T / - A -A - E. I can think of phrases which fit, but they don't fit the clue. I know I'll kick myself as I usually do.
|
BIll
Last one, as so often. "These days love is over for her" (5). L - N - A. Obviously LINDA but don't see why.

BIll
I've been stuck on the last (linked) two for ages. 20d. Bishop packs strength - he's worth waiting for (7, two words. Unless I've made an error: - RR -GH- This or right? But what would that be? 19a....

BIll
Last one, as so often. Arresting officers of course can be carried by ship, then bike (6,5). I have SEARCH SQUAD. squad I see. search, I don't. Any help explaining that? I'm fully prepared to kick my...

BIll
As almost every week, 30 minutes searching dictionaries and thinking about the very one or two, in this case two, viz: 27a. Fertilizer plants appearing in a number of TV shows about hydrogen (8). I...

BIll
Stuck as usual on the very last one - probably also as usual blindingly obvious. 29a. One rode around with palms being laid down (4). ITA- (pretty certain about those letter, but you never know ...).
|
BIll
Stumped by very last one, as ever: 22d. Tying up limb to protect a part of it (8). -E-E-I-G. I have some ideas, but none seem to work!
|
BIll
Very last one (as so often). 20a Opposed to attitude of the Lady of Lake [sic] (9). C-N-T-N-E. CON = against STANCE = attitude. Why the Lady of Lake? Which lady is that then?
|
BIll
Final two are bugging me.
29a Sacred symbol of destiny leads me and my friends (6). I - T - S (pretty sure).
45a Abolish class in a number of schools (6). REMOVE = abolish, but how?...
|
BIll
Last one and as usual I'm stumped. 40a. Bet there's no reversing, eager to get docked (6) YANKEE?
|
BIll
Doubtful about last one. 18d. Wordy stuff, showy and ostentatious (8) - A - B - I - G. Is this RAMBLING or BABBLING? I can't see how either RAM or BAB fits the bill.
