[Bernie]

Last 2.
13/8a. Lacking life and body , this alement 4,4
14d Thinks in duck eggs does the punter's nemesis (5)
Many thanks in advance

[bibblebub]

if they are the last 2 then you must have some letters in place which would help since nothing comes to mind at present

[bibblebub]

... and in 13/8a should that be ailment or aliment?

[scooke]

flat beer
layer--- answered earlier

[longacres]

I also have flat beer

[starmack]

Layer???

[longacres]

I think Layer is correct.

[Tonta]

I have "layer" too - chiefly because the letters fit in with my other answers. But the construction of the clue makes no sense to me. Methinks it is time Rosebud was put out to pasture.
