23a Di-ssipate - Di + anag 'pasties'

That's three Di = girl/woman clues today LK. One would not approve . . . . !

[incainez]

cheers! Was forgetting other meaning of fritter, but proably would have taken me another week to get it!

Hi ja - it's such an easy "out" for the compilers - personally, I can't see what's wrong with Detective Inspector or Donor Insemination...

...If you know what I mean! :-)

[johnalex]

Yep, I see where you're coming from LK but reckon the compilers have worn out the Di clue to the point of being disrespectful . . . . ja
