1. PODIA: def. "'stands"; AI(top-notch)-DO(party)-P (political leader) all reversed ("up").

5. ARCHANGEL: def. port; "change"(some money) inside "harlot " - "hot" = Arl.
..............and thank you, Jolan! You got me thinking there!

My offerings are:

2. Rectifier (electrical device) subtracti ve anagram ( refit officer minus off)
3. Aramaic (langauge ) hit = ram; tune (lacks an ending )= ai(r); current = AC
4. Buffalo Bill (Western showman) freak = buff; a pitch = a lob; bad = ill

Looking forward to seeing the others .
Thanks as always, Jolan. x

1- At first thought PRO PS, but then PODIA, though wasn't sure if "up" worked with across clue
2- RECTIFIER (subtractive anagram)
3- A RAM AI(R) C
4- BUFF A LO B ILL
5- AR CHANGE L

This probably won't post.....

Been trying for twelve minutes now. Infuriating.

Well done Jazzy x.
GK. 100% and super parsing. As usual, no need for me to post my working..
Ari. What a shame! If you use Windows, you might try Windows forum. I've found the folk there can solve most problems .I've only got the address of Windows 7 forum but the rest will be easy to find, should you decide to have a go.

I'm off for the big pig-out now. Hope to see you next week.

Seems to be a dearth of the usual contributors this week. The weather?

Bye

Bless. J

Your post's arrived all right Ari. Never considered the "up" bit. You're right, of course. I can only say my screen was slightly tilted at the time :)) Or maybe it wuz my head.

Very nice as always, Jolan.
