Just printed it - looks as though it'll take me a while to get to grips with it, so won't check-in here again for a while.

I notice that Paul is using his obsession with all things to do with bodily functions in his clue at 7 across. He just can't resist it, can he!

Good luck!

I'm puzzled by the special instructions:

"The spelling of several well-known (but undefined) entries is incorrect, which may not be to your taste!"

I don't understand the reference to undefined entries as all the entries have clues - what am I missing (apart from a few brain cells...)?

Thanks!

All of the entries have clues, yes, but they don't all have definitions of the cryptic wordplay. It is a pretty standard rule that the definition part of a clue comes either at the beginning or the end. For instance, in this particular puzzle, 13 ac has a cryptic reference, but no definition of the answer. Hope this helps

Help! I've just changed my computer, and I clearly need to install some additional softward to display the grid as usual. I seem to remember a cup of coffee being displayed before the grid. Does anybody know what the software is?

Your letters are right, but the answer is one of the themed ones as per the Special Instructions.
