11a GLEYED 5d SERGES 26d EGOISTS 29 is thematic - FERNI goes in the grid - do you want the rest of it, hankir?

[ProfessorMaisie]

wordplay for the others -

11 take ag from [h](ag)GLED [h extra] = 'disputed' (around YE)
5 [u]SER + GE(t)S '(t)imeless'
26 anag minus the [a]GEISTS O(ld).
29a minus [h] anag CRINKLE IF T[h]E

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorMaisie.

User as consumer is new.
Also neglected as anagram indicator is new.

Is 4d two words with only the last 6 going in the grid?

Are there just 8 empty cells?

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, Vismut seems to like plenty of variety (makes it interesting though).

Yes, hankir - just the 8 (including the centre square).

4d is 2 words but only 4 letters of the first word are omitted, leaving 1 letter + the 2nd word in its entirety.

Thanks Professor.
