Okay it is a term I have never heard of in this context - yup another slang word for buying dope. Now think of a type of dope and its usual name (well one of them) and then think of this word and the artificial alternative but not in a drug sense. Right if none of this makes sense get back to me :)

I still haven't got 35 down wondering now if my first word is wrong.

23a GOT IT! I'd only heard of it in football terms. Thanks Emrach. x

Hi rossim , my part of the clue is a hidden word ...

Hi Ginge,

Yes, I have phase 2 for 22a.

So far I've got N?I???O?N?

I'd be grateful for a hint please.

emrach: you're probably more familiar with the more generally usable version of 35d, which has the same number of letters. The first word of my clue is just a synonym for that first word of the solution in another sense; words 2 to 4 are another way of saying the 2nd word. Maybe an easier way of putting the rest of the clue would be "as a way of saving..."
Does that help?

I had the hidden word BBM2 and now I know I was correct! Thanks

rossim: if I may try to help you,too, your first letter for 22 is wrong (in fact N is the 2nd letter)!

Hi again rossim, my confusion down to being in the pub all day.
The first "n" is wrong. "If 'at' first" refers to the answer giving the definition within the clue. The expression was originally used literally but for some time now also figuratively as here.

Okay GK
Ist word = also means to accuse
2nd = there are 52 of them ????

Have I got it:)
