Oh no! Thanks Francis - but now I've definitely not finished! I have made a mistake in 15d. The clue is "overconfident mate's taking university course in religious studies"(8) and I've put in "cocksure" (mate's - cocks, u for university course and re for religious studies). Where have I gone wrong please?

cocksure is correct
