11a. A bit of a kip after extremes of heartache and passion (4) H _ A _
(I can see some parse for heat (passion) = he (extremes of tache) + ........)
alternatives head or heap

parsing
Half-heartedly withdraw commercial for tyre (7) = RETREAD (tyre)
I can see retreat + ad, but don't get the complete parsing

Took bung for throwing match (4,3)= SHOT PUT
Throwing match = shot put, but why took bung?

Many thanks

Sorry - should have been in "crosswords"

Don't see the T as a "bit of a kip".

Thanks for retread, V-E
I know that a kip is something to do with gymnastics. I wondered whether it may be to do with a "T" position. Can't find it though!

[JJ109]

took = shot (photography)
put = bung ??

[vetuste_ennemi]

SHOT (pp take pictures) + PUT (pp throw/cast)?

[vetuste_ennemi]

at=100th of a kip

Laotian. See Chambers.

[JJ109]

It has to be, you put the "shot", don't you? = bung/chuck/throw

[JJ109]

Many thanks - excellent. I knew a kip was Laos currency but never thought to look and see what the sub-unit was

Breakfast bar. Lap top in corner. Bacardi and gin to the left. Chambers to the right.

All angles covered - provided I remain sober (after a fashun).
