Good afternoon,
A nice-looking challenge from Rebus! I was expecting something much more difficult, but am surprised to see through many of the clues. Some Answers/Hints would be appreciated for the following so that I may get on to the more complex thematic parts. Thanks for providing some relaxing time in this virus-infested environment!

ACROSS:
8 Oddly, Nero keeps poor Romeo just above zero (9, 3 words) : O????MO??
( ODD MOM OUT )?
15 Start support then switch position (6) : T?EO??
30 Handle local bird in Kent (6) : ??E?LE
31 Article in place for spiders (6) : ???NN?
DOWN:
4 Old tales of Hesse de rigeur in hindsight (5) : ??D?S
( EDDAS ) ?
10 Disprove ancient feller upset when left out (5) : ????R
26 Painting over ancient siren (5) : L???M
30 Well built with smelly section in front (5) : ??LI?

Each to their own but just passing on that Derek Harrison made a point in his last monthly message that he really disapproves of answers being provided for a whole host of clues for his monthly prize puzzle in this way.

Thanks, Eagledave. I always have some sympathy for the smaller setters, organisers! I have seen setters comment on here before, sometimes about the sheer volume of help requested.

Matakari, this is a very recent puzzle, it might have been worth persevering - even for a bit.

I would hardly call Answerbank a "cheat site".

Maybe asking for hints for 8 answers at a time is a bit much ....suppose it depends if you actually enter the competition having had a lot of help. Ask your last couple maybe....then wouldn't feel guilty entering ?

Many thanks, Roslyn, for the great guidance! I have a few more clues and the thematic bit that I will persevere with now.

Neveracrossword

Thanks, Saladdodger. some interesting thoughts. It could have prompted more discussion, but I think answers - and prizes - matter more to some solvers!
