Spectator Christmas

[hypotheses]

Last one: 67A looks like GREEN(F)EED but can't find any reference to this term. Any suggestions?

[Lie-in King]

Any good? - OED (Online) has -

greenfeed...

In later use chiefly Australian and New Zealand.

Forage grown to be fed fresh to livestock, either as pasture or silage.

[JJ109]

greenfeed (countable and uncountable, plural greenfeeds)

any crop, such as barley, used directly as fodder for animals

[hypotheses]

Many thanks Lie-in. Knew what Greenfeed was but couldn't find any NZ connection to fully parse the clue. 

[Lie-in King]

Glad I could help 😊

[JJ109]

I presume in that case that there is some reference to New Zealand in the clue!

[Lie-in King]

I haven't looked at the puzzle, JJ, but I had OED open for something else when I came back here, so obviously got lucky.

[hypotheses]

 "Eager desire to eat evening meal in NZ." Had: GREE?EE? but answer must include a hidden F somewhere. 

[JJ109]

Thanks both!

Wow. this was a mega journey

Annoyingly i cant parse 11D which is a regular clue.

TV model lost messaging ability (8)

I have TELE??P? so i suppose its Teletype but why?

 

and then 26A which i think is ?EG??O?E

so i guess its MEGASTORE without the A

but why?

Also stuck on 8D which i have as EA?? HORSE OR HOUSE

Adrift due ashore in IRon Age Spot (4-5)

 

[scorpiojo]

Eard house anagram 

[scorpiojo]

Tele (TV) type (model) - an old messaging system 

[johnpiper]

Thanks

Thank you Scorpiojo

Any joy on 26A

Maybe IKEA again gets new lines ?EG?TO?E

Also realsied that i hadnt paresed 20D

Bullfighted raged having run out (6) TY??R?

 

Also realised 

[Neveracrossword]

20 Torero, bullfghter - Tore, raged  and RO, run out (cricket, I think).

[Neveracrossword]

I think 26 is More, again, with an anagram ('new') of Gets inside ('lines').

[johnpiper]

Very clever both

thank you

 

[Neveracrossword]

Johnpiper, you're welcome - glad I could help.

Stuck on 73a 'Earthy rocks in 'uneven' hole having no roof.' I've got HYET?RA?. And 80a 'Random act regularly ruins ours at first.' ?N?R?EED. I must have gone wrong somewhere.

[Neveracrossword]

80 Unordered, random, with the second R dropped. 

[Neveracrossword]

73 Hy(p)ethral
