Boy have I struggled with this!
I'm totally stymied on the last four so please help. I have a hungry family to feed at midday and I'm still in my PJs.

3d Photo in mag regularly shows W. Indian city p-o-a. (Is it Poona?)
28 ac Zestful lairds missing the odd turn having less concentration d---t- (drifts?)
24 d Some news about emotional looking weary drained old actress n---/--y-n (dora bryan won't fit unless I've made a booboo)
34ac Havana boxer;one good for punching body.
c---r/-a-e

Incidentally i thought this was a real stinker this week. Not often it takes me more than three coffees but I'm hooked up intravenously this weekend!

Thanks for any help.
