Received this this morning from Daniel.

I have only five more to do!
Either it's an easy-peasy one today or I'm getting better at it.

I'm delighted with myself. :-)

Thanks for the update, Tilly2. I was hoping you'd carry on with these puzzles. I'm afraid to say that it's definitely an easier* one, Doc's offerings are seldom very taxing!
* I deliberately said 'easier' rather than 'easy'....

Thank you for the encouragement, NAC. I appreciate that.
Thanks, Tilly2. As the there's a team of setters, the difficulty factor, the fun factor and the enjoyment factor can vary!
Question Author
So far I've tried Doc (twice), Columba and Pabulum.
Columba used to be a regular setter, and his puzzles were terrific. Today's offering from Doc seemed a little meagre after last week's treat!

Can you give me the answers to the ones I didn't do last week please, NAC?

14ac. ?IP?D...lipid?
24ac. SN?B...snob?
33d. I?D??...indie?
40ac. ????S
3d. DOT?LE
Indie and dottle are right. Could you please remind us of the clues for the others?
I'd guess at dottle for 3d, leftover stuff in the bowl of a pipe
If my memory serves me right:
14: BIPOD
24: SNUB
40: ANDES
Question Author
14ac. Stand in front of buyer with audio player. ?IP?D
40ac. Area with points of intersection, not over range.
???ES
24ac. Check name in advance. SN?B
Matakari is right with all 3.
Question Author
Thank you all.
