I solved all the rhs without too many problems, correctly parsing the clues. However I can barely start the lhs and can't parse the clues at all. Weird-almost as if compiled by two persons.I'd be grateful for help with
1d Farmyard bundle covering donkey's head with bit of dung, one's smooth on top. 8 letters, first letter b. All I can think of is bald???
2d Foreign drink before interval consumed by important actor. k???? ?????y. If the answer is an actor then I'm never going to get it as I never know their names. All I can think is that Kir is a foreign drink so it might be Kirsty or Kirby somebody- but then wouldn't drink suffice-why bring in foreign?
