sorry but I hate being called Joanne

I need to pick your brains again Eddie, what was 9a Place to get bacteria when runs out?

[eddiebun]

Here's what I've got in case you didn't see my other post

Haemophilic Gels Calluses Fomites ???O? Still ?A???R? Esterase ??P? ( looks like VIPD or VIPA ) Sensitivity

Hess Fouchet Chyle ?L?U???? Haemostasis Chemography ILL Being Gametic Davis ??I?

[eddiebun]

That always confuses me - when it goes onto a second page - I'm sitting there clicking refresh - when the posts on on the next page !!!

[eddiebun]

Sorry Joanna !

[joannasevs]

Just a thought, could it be an anagram of faecal with un? I haven't been able to find anything but anything's possible with this crossword.
I still fancy Glia for 17d even though it's in the word G- note Ail written up........what do you think?

[eddiebun]

I was just thinking along those lines - now there's another letter E - from Faecal - I thought U = University and maybe T or L for joint

But

ALCUFETA ALCUFELA FLAUCEAT etc. etc. aren't bringing up anything.

I still think 17a is Vipd - VI - for six and Pd ( or pa) for paid, and I did find some links for Vipd - like -

Since VipD possesses homology to a group of lipolytic enzymes,

But as I say I'm very close to giving up !

[joannasevs]

Yeah you are probably right, I think I am going insane! Gonna have some tea now but if I get any inspiration (fat chance) I will be in touch.

Ps Trevilino - sorry we seem to have hijacked your thread !

[Trevilino]

No problem Eddie. Who am I to get in the way of young love. That's a joke by the way Joanna - unless I'm right!

[joannasevs]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean Trevilino!!!

PS I like the young bit though
