Flipper2law - When I started a thread on 15th I hadn`t noticed you had already started one on 14th, my apologies. Can`t think how I came to miss yours. Still stuck on various clues but will have another go. It often amazes me how after hours of thinking about a clue the answer suddenly appears as if from nowhere!!

Hi Mondrian, how are you getting on? Just ask if you need any help. The sites very quiet today!

Karen how kind of you to offer me much needed help. Yes, 12A Reserved male union to merge is a real puzzle.

Chris4food. How interesting that you should tell us you are a lapsed catholic this week. Does that mean you are a latitudinarian!!!?

Nice to be in contact.

Hi Mondrian, sorry Ive been off line.re 12a anagram of male union to.

Hi All,
Stuck in lower left:- 13 & 14 down and 21 & 23 across.
Haven't a clue about them.Rest done - for me nearly a miracle on Friday.

Hi Flipper,I cant think of another clue for 13d but can give you the answer.14d anagram of bees+joker

23a is in the first word,its every other letter start with O
21a 2 lettered word for poster + "this Place".
Hope that makes sense, post back if Ive just confused you!

Hi Flipper

Some clues (don't read any further if you don't want them - as they say, look away now!)

13d the answer is a drug made of a word meaning party surrounded by a type of gas.

21a the answer means stick made up of a word for poster + a word for this place (i.e. where you are now).

23a the word 'regular' in a clue is often an indicator of taking letters at a regular interval from a part of the clue - the answer relates to 'long ago'

Hope that helps.

Sorry Karen didn't mean to 'steal your thunder' - only just come on-line and I should have noticed that the recent postings were current.

Sorry, I'm late again this week. The RT didn't arrive until Wednesday afternoon as we had no ferries for a day due to the gales. I also had to fix a Marshall combo need for a gig tonight. Luckily it just needed a couple of new valves and some new electrolytic capacitors. A nice sounding amp from 1987 gets a new lease of life!

Anyway I finished it last night whilst watching part 2 of Gareth Malone and the non-reading boys. Hmmm, that seems to be becoming a ritual doesn't it.

Nothing very obscure this week. In fact I thought 21A & 24A were rather "jolly" little clues. I have to wonder what a lapsed catholic would be thinking of with an answer like DE + SIRE+ E?

Lets hope I can make it earlier next week.
