very good, yes, some downs tricky. finished fairly well when "found" the * link.

I'm surprised that I seem to be the only one having problems with 22ac.

I note that there are two possible groups of letters in the clue, but all the various combinations I have tried give no result. I have checked my down answers continuously, and feel they must be right.

Please, no answer, but is no-one else having a problem?

AJ1 - I'm having the same problem with 22ac. Could be either somewhere in 'chasing wild rabbit' or 'silly dog wees' -- but either way, I can't seem to find a word at all. I'm also stumped by a number of the other * clues, even though I have almost all the down answers now. I think the penny hasn't quite dropped with the second part of the instruction.

Thank you Perec. I've got everything except 22ac. If you've got the answer to 25/11ac read it carefully. That's your theme.

AJT - I'm surprised at you! Think WELSH! (or google it!)It's in silly dog wees.

Thank you R - I have been doing exactly that, and can't find anything that fits. My down answers fit perfectly, so Ive no idea where I'm wrong.

All the themed ones are googleable...

Thanks AJT1 -- I do have 25 11, just not sure exactly what to do with it to unlock the * clues. Can I check that I am on the right track with 9ac (which is a French version of 25 11, right?).

Sounds like you might have 20d wrong - i got it from : defn = complaint, 5 letter synonym for way-out (weird sense) less the letter v.
12d is a port which Im sure you have
21d goes with gin
16d a plant
22a answer is Welsh 25, 11

yes Perec you are on the right track. Now you need to think German, italian etc for the other similar ones
