Cheers Terry,

I've put it in a PDF for you (slightly non-matching letter sizes though with the Across & Down clues)

Many thanks, les, for a sensible copy!
Can anyone help with my last few here? Will give clues later if no hints forthcoming from those who already have them.
Across: 35 51 52 (could be any of 3 beginning "gall-")
Down: 22 25 31 32 36 42 43 46 90
As I say,reluctant to copy 11 clues as yet, but all depends on response.
At least the "theme" was easy to spot!Otherwise would never have managed 7 out of 8 by now!

Hi GK!
I presume you've already got it?
ANY (ideas)? :)

Z{( = zulu)} ANY. See zany (noun) and any = some
