Thanks for that chips. It seems I have confused myself with the second last S, so have to look at that clue again. However I would appreciate knowing how you came to that, from the 66a clue.

Sorry, Despard, I've been out.
Co - abbreviation for Colorado
Me - I
Across, like this clue, 29 A
In - put Me Across inside Co.
Co me across.

That's great chips. Never have worked that one out. My erroneous second S came from mistaking "NOSE RAG" for "SNOT RAG". Just shows how my mind works.
Can you help with my final one? 26a: Forward social security packs for one. (5) S***Y. I thought it might be SASSY but don't know why.

Yes, Sassy, forward. SS is social security, inside ('packs') Say, for one. 'I like yellow fruits - bananas, say'. Sa SS y.
