Help with:

10d. Just keeps going when credit's newly denied (9, two wds)

34. Seafood which could be heart-warming (7)

Is 8d Pattern? Cannot parse it.
Shape of a dead bird, would you say? (7)

Thanks.

34 cockles

[mallyh]

10d ticks over?

[mallyh]

warms the cockles of your heart ^^^^

[elliemay1]

pastern?

[elliemay1]

^ sounds like 'past tern'=dead bird

[Captain2]

elliemay has it

Dead = PAST + ERNE = sea eagle, and as you 'say' it = Pastern

[Calibax]

passed tern

[Captain2]

Or what elliemay says ^^^ ;0)))

[Neveracrossword]

8 D Isn't Pastern - it's Polygon -Polly gone!

[Calibax]

past erne is a better parse

[Neveracrossword]

Maybe, Calibax, but it doesn't fit with crossing letters.

[Captain2]

Ooops, thanks NaC; red faces all round I'd say.

[elliemay1]

Depends what the letter pattern is

[Neveracrossword]

The crossers gave PO???ON.

Thanks, Captain!

[hankir]

Thank you all.

I am not sure how Ticks over parses.

[Neveracrossword]

10 Tick is another word for 'credit', hire purchase.

[hankir]

Thanks Neveracrossword.
Found most of unclueds from Brewer.

[whatsthat]

Have all the clued and unclued lights (correctly I think) but I don't see an abbreviated light. Am I missing something without a Brewer's?
