DMG -- it is fom the IT and thanks very much for those. Obvious now that I see them,
I presume 75d is GAA.
You probably have it finished days ago but if not, can I return the favour with any of the other clues ?

[DMG 1972]

I have GAA for 75d as well, I only finished it this morning with the help of the internet to be honest.

Have you done the Sunday Independent Sports one?- I am missing a good few of those and finding it much harder than the IT one

[pjgriffo]

I have the S.I. one more or less finished.
What ones do you need - there are some very obscure clues.

[DMG 1972]

I am missing a good few to be honest can you help me with
49 down - Doctor had the final final say (4,7)
29 down - green and blue silky pools winner (8)
75 down - nothing Little about it of course (7)
34 ac - Young pilot seeks weighty settlement (7)

Any help would be much appreciated
