21d Oboes - anag 'be so' + o (ring)
24a Offshore - 'shore' as "to prop, support"
27a Take a-side
25d Fur

[Harry-Wragg]

25d fur

24a - yes - not on (off) + shore (near the coast)

21d o(ring) + be so (anagram)

My friend, I'm feeling particularly good today! The day was my own & I got 10 hours much-needed kip last night - I also took delivery of the prize for the Times Jumbo Cryptic Crossword, which brightened the day even more!

Lunch at the pub tomorrow with a friend & that's Tuesday sorted! If it wasn't for the bills, I'd have to say things were looking up... :-))

Apologies to fuzzy for the extra traffic...

[fuzzy-brain]

I'm truly sorry for creating all of this fuss, folks. It's late and my fuzzy brain isn't functioning quite as well as it might. Very many thanks to you all, and sleep tight!

[Lie-in King]

No fuss, just banter!

Good night fuzzy, sleep well! :-)
