Yes casanova - 'laborious' is the word I'd choose too.

I am really struggling with this one. The clue solving is difficult when I don't know which clues are thematic and which are normal. Perhaps someone might be able to provide a list, but use the "this might contain answers" thread so that others here don't get unwanted help. On this thread, could someone tell me if the country abbreviations are all two-letter, or are some one-letter and others three letter?
I hope some of you are still checking this site.

Hi catkin, I'm about 20 minutes away from getting home and if someone hasn't already done so, I'll put such a list on the other thread then.

I have all the insertions, but the extra in 21dn seems to define two entries, while I can't see which one is defined by that in 44ac

Hi phantom, the extra in 44a defines 6a.

Thanks ginge - but that seems to require the last word from 44a to be the extra, whereas I can only parse the clue without the one before it ?
