Acts up
Gloria

[Lie-in King]

9a Acts up - Acts; book of Bible
14a Gloria - '(crossin)g' (finally) + 'lo' & 'air' (looks, to right & left)

14a A-strid(e)? Can't quite see why, though, I'm afraid.........................

[maurice]

Forget that --- just a mad idea, born after struggling with "The Listener"......

Thanks LIK. You are always such a help
So 10d Is Calliope? But why
I have a bottle of Rioja and a damned big Grand Marnier in me. Everything is a bit hazy.

[Lie-in King]

Yes, 'Calliope' (one of the Muses) - 'call' (name) + 'i(nspiration)' (source) + 'ope' (poet's "unlock")

Having a nice evening then? :-)

I'll try! My claim to fame is that I can still do this crossword even if a teeny wee bit drunk, But then I sometimes still have to turn to greater minds and thank goodness you are usually there. Thank you.

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome :-)

I do feel obliged to point out that drinking responsibly is best - don't spill it, in other words!

[jaklyn]

Never been known to!
