Welcome to AnswerBank Indigo. You will need to give us the clues so that we can help - not all of us take the Guardian

Easier to help you if you post full clues

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, I assumed as the OP had *** that the censor was at work, hence the spaces in my answer.

[Lie-in King]

Ah - with a rethink, it's possible the OP didn't have "bonk"... ;-)

[scorpiojo]

:0))

[JJ109]

I suspect the censor was at work L-i-k - For quite a while I was trying to parse a rude word beginning wih C. The compiler today was Paul - so rude words sometimes appear

[Lie-in King]

jj - it can't be, 'cos Danny & scorpy managed a bonk easily... ;-)

[dannyk13]

lol at L-i k.

[PuzledBadger]

Just a thought - is 21a, 22a Paul's adult movie star name??

[scorpiojo]

Oh dear, thanks Jo.

Walks away in disgust, muttering about today's standards, we're all going to hell in a handcart..........

[scorpiojo]

... L-i-K started it.... ;0)

[Mamyalynne]

No better than he ought to be.
