Just one clue from the Times- Unpleasant to hear "time" except if holding ale at the end(8) T?N??E?S IOS-2 clues here-8 down- Dancer who collides with otherscreating stir(7) ????M?R 10 across-A bloke to eat cold cream(8) A???D?N? Guardian-3 down- In sum,a student's got to come up solvent(10) A???????E? 14 across- Irritable 19 by slippery customer heard as tribute(11) ??S?I?O?I??. The clue for 21 across 11 across and 9 across is given as (9,2,3,5),but actually reads as (4,11,4); should it actually be (4,5,2,3,5)?

Many many thanks to you all,Kettledrum,Slaney,and of course Kayakamina! I had thought of tuneless ,couldn't see why,but I have now.I also thought of amandine,but the only definition I found was garnished with almonds,so I dismissed it.Off to post now,(and hopefully win!),back later with a few more.Cheers everybody G.
