Really struggling today. 25a Do what you do endlessly, 17? That's you! (6)
17a 25, left defender? (7) 11a East end houses don't have the credentials to accommodate white 25 (5,5)
Muchas gracias.
Merci - but need more help please as still struggling with this one. 8a Type of 25 cross, not entirely rejected (8)
14a Fine man for philosophy (8)
If these don't help, I might have to admit defeat ...
I think 14 a might be thinking (fine = thin, man = king) but it's all a bit odd today. If all the references to 25 are to types of spider, could take a long time.
