23 Old tunic disused but two taps gets it on. (6)
Old tunic disused = the definition part of the clue and is an archaic word for old tunic.
two taps = ch (cold hot) and the rest is not an anagram as such, it is written in the clue.

...it's closely related, or maybe derived from the word migraine.

Got 37 now too...had found that word but again didn't look it up properly and only found the 'headache' definition.

Thanks guys, you're pals!

I have another 4 to find, but I'll give them another go myself. (Can't stand the head-slapping any more at the moment!)

Back again with my very last one:

97 River horse taking drug. (5)

I have two possibilities in mind, but can parse neither, so am hoping one of you bright sparks who have helped me so much so far can give me a push i. the right direction.

Thanks
