Isn't Stromboweli for 7dn. just as plausible? I can't find either possibility anywhere.

The Profananisaurus App no longer appears to be available. Can anyone advise on what is the most up-to-date hard copy please.

"Stromboweli" appears on
page 525 of War and P*ss 40th Anniversary edition of Profanisaurus published 2018 (the latest edition I think)
It contains "bowel" hence the definition which cross references "Vesuviarse".

Your presumptions are both correct rotovator01.

18a) Soixante-neuf

11/6 Crapier maché - anagram of 'Recipe charm a'.

Just need one more. Old fuckers without fuck ultimately fucked up about love, certainly (2,6 ? f ? o ? r ? w all I can get is 'of course' but it does not work with 28a being 'down' (splash down)
