Help With Spectator 2591

[Tilly2]

I shot myself in the foot early on by thinking 33d was sexton...so went off looking at the totally wrong text!

Got it now and the other three characters.

Stuck on the top left hand corner now. Is 10 ac Honorific? (I'm praised for moving to retain university committee.) It doesn't feel right but I cant make anything out of it. I have only these letters. ?????I?I?

2dn. Person's amazingly cute rear. (8) ???????E.
Is it an anagram of cute rear = creature?

[novalis]

10 across is an anagram of 'I'm praised' Yes, 2 down is an anagram and you have the right answer.

[scorpiojo]

praesidium, Anag I'm praised + U

[novalis]

Sorry - that should be an anagram of 'I'm praised' + U for university.

[Tilly2]

Thank you both very much.

[Tilly2]

I have one left.
16ac. Bug is hanging on the wall. (5)

I have TA?I? and can see only tacit.

[Lie-in King]

Tapis - 'tap' (bug) + 'is'

Do you want the answer tilly or a clue ?

[Lie-in King]

Oh, sorry...

[klazomaniac]

Many answers have been given lik.
So it shouldn't be a problem.

Well done Tilly.

I know the bards answers haven't been given. For me they were tough (not really my domain) so congrats on smashing them out the ball park.

Glad you joined the podium :-)

Thank you, LIK.

I don't think a clue would have helped me, Klax. It's not a word I am familiar with.
Thank you anyway. :-)
