Grid almost filled in, I know the 'theme' I've found the woman, I've found the 'receptacle' for the last word. But, I can't trace the 'obnoxious' item. The woman is 11 letters, the receptacle is 11 letters (one crossing the woman) so the 'obnoxious thing has to be 9 letters long (I think) Am I correct in thinking it's a word that takes in the last blank cell?
Please could someone point me in the right direction (that is if you've understood my garbled paragraph!)
Also 18 down: Australian army acquires taste for shrew-like creature (6) AGOUT? (is it A or I at the end?
Thanks in advance.

18 Has an A at the end, from Australian Army, with Gout, taste, inside.
Ripper, the 'nasty' reference in the quotation, saying is an anagram indicator - so you just need to spot the nine-letter word (in a different form).
the receptacle is split in the column. The middle O belongs to a jumble across in that row ... it's an anagram of ....9 letters
i put an A ...thinking A...A for austr army
