11a) Prodigal son-in-law collecting wine in retirement (3,8)

[scorpiojo]

Come on, 1ozzy, give us a letter ;o)

[1ozzy]

Wish I could Jo.

[scorpiojo]

:)

[1ozzy]

2d) Dark base drawn from blackish-blue-white (7)

The 5th letter will give the 3rd for 11a

[scorpiojo]

I want to say something wanderer - cos it has red (wine) reversed...

[scorpiojo]

I think 11a ends in N

[1ozzy]

I agree, thanks Jo.

Hopefully I'll get moving on this one now ;-)

[scorpiojo]

I can give you 6, 7, 8, 10 and 17 if you need them?

[scorpiojo]

I think I have 11a...

[1ozzy]

17 would help thanks Jo, I have the others.

[1ozzy]

ooooh, you going to share?
;-)

[scorpiojo]

17a Kidney (groan)

I also have the 1s, 4d, 13a & 14d..

[1ozzy]

Got 17 now,,,,doh!

A hint for 11 would be great

[scorpiojo]

Anagram son-in-law + red... you should have heard of him...

[1ozzy]

Sure have heard of him. This will help with 7 other clues.

Thanks heaps Jo.

[scorpiojo]

You're very welcome. Thank you :)

Crossing the line here maybe but 3.32am and looking for x-word clues?!
Why the funikular? Are we in different time zones?

[scorpiojo]

Yes, 1ozzy is in Australia
