25 Looks good; Half of Ample-forth (school/college)

[ProfessorMaisie]

1 CHAMISE 30 BAYADERE 22 MALATE 25 PODGE

[Captain2]

Obviously ignore my 'attempt' :))

[ProfessorMaisie]

25 POD = 'school' + GE(ts)

[ProfessorMaisie]

I'd have been tempted by your 'ample', hankir/Captain2 if I hadn't got the crossers.

[Captain2]

Thanks for making me feel less of a twit, ProfM. ;0))

[elliemay1]

I can see why you are a Professor, Maisie!

[ProfessorMaisie]

I hope Azed appreciated that possibility, Captain2 (it certainly works}.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
Based on modification to 26d, and the title, it is clear what those 11 answers change to when modified. But still 8 clues remain.

Captain2: I have never heard of ample as fatty but I thought it was a British euphemism.

[ProfessorMaisie]

My wife is the Professor, elliemay1, and she set the gender too - I'm a man!
It seemed a waste not to use the opportunity for something (she's only posted one or two questions on it, and she's useless at crosswords}.
My previous presence on the AB was also under one of her aliases (but that was ages ago).

[hankir]

Last two.

8. Brother, not second, no life-renter in Scotland (4)
27 What'll clean the decks? Apply for round nozzle, saving time (5)

Thanks.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM

[ProfessorMaisie]

I do like the M, hankir - thanks (I'm still getting used to 'Maisie'}

[klazomaniac]

Prof M. I sincerely hope that we have a drink together one day. I like you. You are a end of a leg :-)

[klazomaniac]

Ps . I got chambers !

[ProfessorMaisie]

Well done, klazo! (and when you've covered the cost of the big book we might have that drink.}

[klazomaniac]

Not wealthy enough in mind or pocket to understand or afford the big book !
So I'll drink alone !
But I will think of you when I have a pint :-)
Stick around and help us. You're a good guy.
Cheers Prof M :-)

[ProfessorMaisie]

You're not drinking alone, klazo - I've got a Penderyn on the go so, ''Here's to You!'' (with Chambers to hand you'll find I'll very quickly become obsolete}.

[klazomaniac]

Whiskey is not my cup of tea (even though both my parents were Irish) I don't drink it (Bad experience when I was young) Bourbon (Jacks) is ok. But I' ll take that drink with you :-)
Slainte :-)
