Everyone seems to have found this easy, but I`m still stuck on the bottom RH corner.
`Quiet learner about to tear up contract`:
?H ???E? / UP. The H is only right if 18D is `Bothy` Mags.

what a plum does to become a prune !

You've made me look at that again, mags, and my original parsing no longer seems to work - although my answer does fit the definition. If it's correct, the clue is a bit weak as the answer also contains "up".
(Clue: I originally thought it was something to do with Kevin, who we might need to discuss)

Sorry - "whom" not "who" (before rambler reads it)

I agree - Apart from the inclusion of up in the clue the remainder parses okay

Thank you, Chrises both. I didn`t like the `up` either.
`Kevin` would have helped! mags.

Good Evening, All. A very happy new year to you all. I hope it will be peaceful and prosperous for you.

The traditional view of a Scotsman at this time of year is probably of someone hanging on to a lamppost to keep himself upright. In fact, when the bells rang, I was engrossed in the Herald new year crossword. As good a way to enter 2013 as any I know.

RT2, has been in for a few days now, and I haven't really had much of a chance to concentrate on it, but the odd attempt I have had, has not proved particularly fruitful. Still, plenty of time to devote to the cause in the less busy days ahead.

Looking forward to quiet times ahead.

Best wishes.

Happy New Year, pipesmoker - I hope that you stay as healthy as possible this year.

Thanks, chrise, I'll do my best. Back into SGH, for my next top up. It will be a week beyond my regular schedule, so it will be welcome when it comes.

Best wishes for 2013

Very best wishes for that too, pipesmoker.
