One big one: there's a lot of pretty inane expressions involved that read the same in both directions..............
My general impression: weak as usual, with few exceptions!

Hi mikey, 16 ac is an anagram of the six letter word plus the crossword letter for soft, hope that gives you a start!

Thanks greedykite ( one outside my window here in South Wales this morning...red variety ! )

Actually I think I have 16a..."Describing lung membranes, soft with questionable allure"
PLEURAL ...not sure where soft or questionable comes into it though.

mikey: my real name means the red variety with a big belly (I'm not joking)---and there are plenty of them here in Gascony,too! Snap!
Glad you're getting on with Paul: I didn't mean to be too destructive, but I always find him relatively disappointing, effort:fun ratio-wise!

Thanks ...still struggling with today's puzzle. Can't quite see what the reference to 14 is.
