Had no problems - until I got to the bottom LH corner!
18 d and 19 ac. 19`s too long to write here.
18d -`Swift hooligan becomes server`. ???O?.
I thought `spoon` but can`t make sense of the `hooligan` part. Any ideas ? mags

I can probably work out 19 ac, thanks to you both. Mags.

Finished apart from 19a. I have every other letter, but it's not helping. I need another coffee.....

me too, Jazzgirl ! I want to fit `lariat` in somehow but no luck. I`m going to dig out my old crossword dictionary - since having a laptop I never use it. Mags.

Yes, lariat has to be used (instead of lasso) plus "as" (reversed)
