[kettledrum]

vespa - was p
promote... p ( l ) ush
vague.... pot (shot) + at + o

[JerryB]

Laboured walk measured - WADE (sounds like weighed)

[JerryB]

R for king, RA for artist, ENTRY for doorway, to wander about is ERRANTRY

[kettledrum]

some easy ones for you to work out yourself:
various.... anag clues to a
bird ....anag p (erhaps) + a migrant

[JerryB]

Failure to use decimal notation....perspective - VANISHING POINT

[JerryB]

B for British, OFF for not working, IN for at home, Scientist = BOFFIN

[kettledrum]

friend.... friend ( 3 letters) + ashen (4 letters) with b(ook) absorbed into the synonym for ashen.

Germany.....G 'brought into' a + munition (4 letters) backwards.

nancy... is + on board ( usually means inside ss (steam ship) + y (acht)

no + cricket side = 12 (o'clock)

images....where would you go to look at images ( pictures / paintings) of people?

better.... (to) better (3 letters) backwards / upwards ie rising with 'in' held : it all means terror

[Billy_Bonka]

[Billy_Bonka]

Thanks for your help but I cannot get these last two :

Vespa,say,is no longer parking ?A?P
Nancy is on board first of the yachts S?S?Y

[Billy_Bonka]

Thanks to you all, still stuck on the bloody vespa question though. Kettledrum, are you feeling kind ? Please.

[JerryB]

Sorry, BB, I thought kettledrum gave you the answer to the vespa clue in his first line - it's a WASP - WAS for no longer, P for parking

[kettledrum]

billy bonka, if you go to the very first reply & read my first answer you will see that I have already given you the answer!
was = is no longer + p (parking)

I thought you might find it more satisfying to work them out for yourself.

[brainiac]

Nineteen is a ridiculous number of questions - are you not going to do any of the crossword yourself ? Why don't you try a crossword more suited to your abilities, like The Sun Quick Crossword.

[Billy_Bonka]

Sorry kettledrum.
Brainiac, handle says it all. Smug condescending prats like you spoil this easy going site. Sad little person.
And just to clarify, I had never done the Independant crossword before and wanted to fill in the answers to get an angle on the compiler's style for next week. I also got more then half the answers to the questions myself after a couple more were answered. And finally, the Sun crossword is fine, if that's all someone can manage , I consider myself lucky to be able to aim above that level. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[goldenfield]

You could have got your 'angle' by having a look at the solutions when they are published. You are the one who should be ashamed - you barely tried to get the answers yourself before asking others for the answers. If you could answer some after an answer or two from others why did you not just ask for one or two and then see how you got on from there? You expect others to give you nineteen answers and you think that is acceptable? Appalling.

[Billy_Bonka]

I didn't realise that answering questions was such a chore. If you don't want to answer the questions then don't, there are more then a few people who are willing to do so and do so without criticizing. There seems to be someone like you and that other arrogant prat in every walk of life. By the way, you should let us all know how many questions you think suitable to ask and we'll all do as you wish. Not. Try and get this in your head, people answer questions on here because they enjoy doing it, they are not forced to.
Notice you didn't answer any of the questions, too hard ? Or are you just a born moaner ?
