<DIV>Yes, that's very true. I just wondered whether anyone might have been doing yesterday's puzzle and could share a couple of answers. I've managed to find 3 so far, which I'm reasonably happy with, so I haven't thrown in the towel yet!

Just got a few more:


14d: surrealist


21d: guys (as in "Guys hospital" and "guise")


23a: Friday

1d Unparliamentary

Making progress!


10ac is FAWKES, 12ac is PLOT, together with GUYS there is a theme here!


I think 13 ac is cross court.


You are right with pocket billiards.

Question Author

I see the theme now and have a few more answers:


8a: in bother


11a: apostate


16a: ravioli


19a: vote


3d:


Question Author

3d: physically


4d: treason


6d: Fifth of November


7d: quatercentenary


12a Plot

Yes! 17down is Catesby.


Got to go now, good night and good luck!

24a Basketry

Could not resist


24ac basketry!!

Question Author
Only one left now, by my reckoning 16 across. How about "wronged" ? WI without the "I" together with an anagram of "ignored". ??

Yes, I think it is wronged. W from WI and an anagram of ignored without the the i.


Good Luck.
