Glad we could help, Fleshpots.

Question Author

This is literally all I have left...

Hints & clues accepted for -

73a Earthy rocks in "uneven" hole having no roof (9) 

77a My university banks in northern Port (7) 

I have letters for both but that doesn't really help if there's a missing letter, so hints are probably better for the whole word. Thanks in advance. 

 

 

 

77 The My isn't possessive, more Gee! the usual University and the usual 'banks' (of a word). The last letter is missing from 'the place' (town, city?)

I'd never seen the 73 A word before - I'd need to look out my copy to recheck the spelling! There's an anagram of 'earthy' involved, I think.

Sorry, Fleshpots - I shoved in town, city, I should have stuck with the clue's Port!

Question Author

Thanks Nev, I've got the port, now need to tackle this beast of a word at 73. Can you say where in the answer the letter is missing from? 

Thanks, Fleshpots. The third letter of the answer is missing from the entry.

Got the blighter! 
Phew! Glad Christmas only comes once a year ;) 

Fleshpots, glad you got there. I was very relieved when I solved that pesky clue, 73 A - but it was nice to learn a new word (which I will probably never use).

thank you nac & scorpiojo, this helped me finish too, but I didn't enjoy it despite the mag's good wishes - don't like entering non-words
