colossus 214

Not sure about 1d, but my suggestions (in BOLD) are:

12a - she works hard to make a bob ?a?r ??????? - two words HAIR DRESSER
1a - setting out with title stripped ??a???g ?f? - also two words HEADING OFF
1d - substantial fine - ??????m? HANDSOME? (maybe!)
61a - a tailless crow, a flying fox and a circus performer - ???y??? ACROBAT (check that "y"!)
26a - intend to make expert accept stance - ???p??? PROPOSE
25a - somehow has been suitable for charity concert - ???e??? BENEFIT

Hope that helps somewhat. Good luck!

many thanks Imur - great help!

Hi verso

I agree with Lmur's submissions except 12a, I have HAIRSTYLIST for that one.

Good luck.

yes I realised that last night before I read your reply today! But thanks again
