Just can't get these last two.
17 D. Manly woman's gossip about boozing? Not half (7) ?nd??na
(I see 'indiana' but can't see why it'd be right)
25 A. Scottish legal transactions are tense for us (7) ?et?u?s
Any help would be much appreciated.

17 Chambers gives -Ana - for gossip
I can see woman as Di, thereafter am stumped.

Thanks for the 'ana' info - maybe 'indiana' is the answer after all, but...
I like to think 'oh, that was clever/sneaky' after I've solved a clue, but that's not happening here!

Something to do with Indiana Jones maybe - his nickname was Indie and he was certainly manly!

Great minds...Sally. There is a famous Manly (John M) who was a cryptologist, and was involved in the Indiana Jones films.
I'll settle for 'indiana' as my answer.

Francis - 'retours' is definitely correct, so 'indiana' can't be! 17 Down is now
