21d microscopic aquatic beings that are constituents of plankton, whose circular, ciliated organs provide locomotion and a means of feeding, 7 letters *o*i*e*

Thanks Kenzie. That's me finished now - spelt troubadour wrong cos I thought they wanted more than one!
Kenzie, i make 26a fire, too. but 9d specifically asks for "french medieval lyric POETS who who composed and sang THEIR work ..." what goes on here? troubadour is singular. has MM screwed it up again?
troubadors/fire puzzled me too but a dictionary definition says process of combustion producing heat,light and smoke so must be 1 poet
Just thought - will be clear in Monday's Herculis as it's a linked word

Yes, I agree - MM does ask for plural (twice). Either a mistake or there is an answer beyond me. Time will tell!

I always thought the black wire was Negative, the opposite of Positive. I wonder if they've made a mistake in the puzzle, but then again I'm no electrician so obviously Neutral must be correct as it fits in.
Meant to say earlier, you're welcome Celtrigra3 and good luck.
To be precise, Porilo, because the UK mains use alternating current, you don't have a positive and negative wire as such. They are generally referred to as Live (coloured red or brown), Neutral (black or blue) and Earth (green or green and yellow). The first colours are the old system, the second the new (I was going to say the current!) system.
