Only need three more clues to finish the cryptic
23a Began to notice disturbing need folllowing brief surgery- I have o?e ?ed
19d Witnessess circle article on fumes- I have se?t??s
5d It's right to help eith bombing mission-I have r?i?
I have to say I don't like the new format much,don't think it is very user friendly.
I have had to re-register as there was no way I could remember a password that I used once 5 years ago. Guess it pays to write things down.
I used to be Tuesday but am now jacaranda.
Happy puzzling

@jacaranda,

You're welcome. Just to clarify the reasoning:

23a brief surgery = "OP" plus anagram of "NEED"
19d article (THE) surrounded by withnesses (SEES).
5d It's right (R) to help (AID) with bombing mission.

@jacaranda,

Hi Tuesday. Hadn't seen any postings from you in a long time. Nice to see you back.

Thanks Imur, as I needed those ones too.

@jacaranda,

Hi Jacaranda/Tuesday,

I was in exactly the same position as you. I was previously canoe3154, but am now shirlz. I too find the new format not as "user friendly" I am a grandmother so didn't grow up with computers and find this all a bit daunting. There are so many former users who now seem to be missing. I find that sad. What would we do without Dutchy and Imur. Bless them both. Glad you are back.

Cheers. shirlz/canoe

@shirlz,

Hi all.

Confirming submissions made by lmur. Been a busy boy today as I'm packing my bags for a flying holiday tomorrow morning.

Wish you all well with your puzzles and look forward meeting you on my return.

Cheers
Dutchy.

Hi Dutchy,
Where are you off to? Is it a holiday? If so, enjoy yourselves. I know you will. Did you watch the AFL grand final today? See you on your return.

Hi Dogz.
Certainly watched the Hawks beat the Cats. Picked the winner and the Norm Smith Medal winner so picked up a few dollard from the TAB.

Off to Port Lincoln for a spot of fishing, have run out of seafood, so my fridge needs restocking. LOL

Will be home by Thursday. Ciao.

@Dutchy,

Thanks Imur for your explanations, you are obviously a lot better at the cryptics than me.
Thanks also for your comments Shirlz, I am a great grandmother and I had to use computors when I came to Canberra in 1990, I thought they might blow up when I touched them. I now have a grandson who is a whiz on computors so he helps me. I have learnt a bit about this site this weekend so thanks everyone.
Regards jacaranda
