Need help.
Clues with misprint in definition:
5. Spasmodic rain affecting jogger’s stocking, perhaps (6)
25. Drab city where additional number could provide modelling agency? (5)

Normal clues:
5. Fish eats smaller fish (8)
8. Increasingly raucous magpie initially squawking for days (7)

Thanks.

5 Stitch - from Pain.
25 Mecca - Arab city
5 Sardines
8 Hoarser (from Hoarder, magpie, swapping D for S).

[hankir]

Thanks Nac.
Others were difficult for me but had thought of Hoarser , not realizing that magpie is considered a hoarder.

Which words in 11, 13, 18 have the misprints?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Hankir. I enjoyed this puzzle, it was quite satisfying.

11 - fifth word
13 - third (I think!)
18. fourth.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC.
I figured them out while waiting for your help.
Have never heard of the celebrated lady or why she did those things. I have the first and the last elements now.

I have not parsed 13 yet but it can only be third word.

[hankir]

I have all of the words to be highlighted except for the last two words of passing thought.
What quadrant?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks again, Hankir. If you've highlighted the rest, symmetry (well, more of a nice pattern really) should show you where to go...

[hankir]

Found all of them.
Thanks NAC.

[Neveracrossword]

Great, Hankir - I thought I could have perhaps been more helpful! I think most Brits would get the 'celebrated lady' fairly quickly - and could probably rattle through the whole thing/work.

[hankir]

No problem, NAC.
So many British themes these days.
Sometimes Google helps, as in this case.
Listener is so hard, I cannot solve even 10 clues.
