:) R

Have a lovely evening Raymond ;)

Still struggling! My brain doesn`t work as well on Wed. afternoons as on Tues. morning!
14d and 24 ac - `Can`t have one without the other` (Frank Sinatra!)
I should know the US writer but only have ? R ? ? ?.
Please help ! Mags.

Good Morning Mags
14d is a manipulator (of your bones/back etc) anagram of potatoes & h (hot)
24a the US author is Roth. But the definition is "outrage"

Jazzie you`re an angel! I should have got Roth Stupidly looking for a five letter name. I can get the down answer now, too. Thanks again, Mags.

Yes, a tough one this, as was last week's. 2d and 23a are words I'd never heard of. Thanks for all the hints posted so far.

Anyway, only one left to go - a hint, please, for 10d (the Papal Bull clue). I guess the first word is a common given name, but I just can't see the second.

A-P

its an anagram of recited papal

its an anagram of recited papal

Arrrrgh, so it is. Doh! 'Bull' as an anagind seems a bit unorthodox though.

Thanks Chris

Re 2d - I only know that word because I`ve seen them in a charity shop! Mags.
