Hi

Can I check my last 2

15d cold aged ham? It might be another thing to consider

Cofactor

29a old couples following trustee, one's getting earfuls

Trimmings

Thanks in advance

They are what I put.
Some very strange clues this week I thought, some of which I still have to work out the wordplay!

[factor-fiction]

I rarely answer anything in MEphisto.
Cofactor fits the definition. I can see the C and the 'actor' but not the 'of'

[roslyn251254]

of can be a synonym of aged in Bradfords red dictionary

[factor-fiction]

Thanks. Too obscure for me

[JMR27]

yes, Trimmings/earfulsreprimands

Trustee = Tr
One's = I'm
Old couples = mings (archaic term)

I agree, some of these clues were a bit odd. I'm still trying to fathom 26d Essentially priest's clipped language...Erse?

[djawhufc]

Per se without the p for priest

Erse is the language
