This is from last week, I've only just got around to it. Probably should not have attempted it, it was well above my pay grade, but this one in particular is bugging me:

12d Fellowship until kingdom come, reportedly! (10)
Looks like 'fraternity', with fellowship as the definition. I would guess that the rest is some sort of homophone (reportedly) but what?

Is it supposed to echo "for eternity"? That would be "til kingdom come". It's not very good, though.

Yes, that’s it. The blog over on Big Dave confirms. If you say it quickly enough it sort of works !

Thanks, that's awful.
I have seen that Big Dave Telegraph site but don't like it, way too smug, puzzles are generally described as the most brilliant ever and people who have dared to post critical comments can be shouted down. But what I really hate about it is that crossword puzzles are frequently referred to as 'guzzles' (pass the sick bag).
