15 Birr (Ethiopian "ready" ie currency)
21 Coney = correct
Coney (rabbit) = "on" (in) CE (churchof England) Y(ard) = C on E Y
21,Yes - on inside ce(church) + y (yard)
18 Your second I is wrong
Crissa (birds' areas of feathers surrounding the cloaca) = Crisis (disaster) - i(one) = Criss + A(rea) = Crissa
27 Pooka (an Irish malevolent spirit) = Poo (number 2s) + Ka (an egyptian spirit)
33 Should this read "area" in September
If so, the A (area) in pes (sep/reversed) = Peas (plants)
2d O in boy is extra...so per(by) inside O A
42. I wish you had given the extra info on this question!!

Sing two extra letters (S & G) leaves "IN"
"in" (in) Le (the French) = Line (method)
JJ109 ....he gave the info in his 1st thread LOL!
25a .. is hidden in the clue reversed...after removing the 2 letters..
I 'w' extra def twin = MATE M(alta) + 'to[w]n' = T inside 'one in Scotland' = AE
17d Gold (s)old for one ...for one player is the defn
17 SOLO ('sol' = 'gold') '[s]old' = O
sorry, roslyn - yours appeared only seconds after I posted (but many minutes before I even got around to typing mine - don't know how!).
Question Author
Thanks, Roslyn, I now have ?ERI for 25, but
do not see how the reversal works. I'll be having
a good look at the extras, if I find them all, to attack
the end game.
25(A) Tired member seen around club (4): ?ERI
Take the t+d from 'tIREd Member...' and read back the way (after letters are removed we're always left with real words, this time it's 'ire').
Question Author
Many thanks, all! I'll give this a rest and come back to the extra words later.
