hi malone, our posts crossed. I did acknowledge nana for head.
Good point on posting the clue.
Extra letters now spell 9,3,5,8,3,7.
The message does not clarify anything for me.
I thought the last word would be the same as the title. But I get a D for 34D.
Pole going round in pain in Paris? Right (5)
Three letter word for Pole reversed in three letter word for pain, with last letter of pole being extra.
I think 1a means enigma or riddle and 13 means ditto.
I need HINTS on these. May have an extra letter in wordplay.
2d. One's travel assistant (4) ?A?E or AA?E
15a. It is not clear about 6 and Georgia's old party leader (5)
?I?EL. 6 could be VI . Could be NIGEL but how?
4d. First edition finished (4) Seems like a 4 letter word for finished. Cannot parse.
28d, Are leaderless group about to make inroads? (3) E?T
22a. Is the answer hidden in the clue? What is the def?
Backing more police shows? On the contrary (3) P?O
Thanks.
