Is this a new compiler? I'm struggling a bit.

Stuck on 17 & 18 d and 27 ac.

17d. Spot element in a government getting preoccupied (8) I have ?i?a???g
18d. Shooter's strain when coming to plunder (3,5) I have ?i?/r???y
27ac. Youngster really submitting name for college (6) I have ????n?

No idea about any of them unless 18d is gin rummy and if it is I don't know why! Hints would be nice.

TIA

Hi The Riddler - might it be air rifle if the y is incorrect? Just a guess!

Thanks chaps, all done now. I had geyser instead of geezer for 29 ac, read the clue the wrong way.

Cheers

Go to Big Dave's Crossword Blog - http://bigdave44.com/ - scroll down the righthand side and click on to DT26381 and you'll then begin to wonder how you ever managed without this wonderful site.

Thanks Caravaggio. A brilliant site and added to my favourites. I can now dispense with this site and the various numpties who spoil it for the majority. To all of those who've given help in the past, thanks. Ta Ta.

Yeah, Caravaggio is the chief numpty. I expect he'll be happy when he is alone.

A pity caravaggio doesn't say ta ta on his way out. What a dork he is.
