Stinker Colossus No 252

23a Unnatural = ABNORMAL
170d Cheerfully confident = SANGUINE

You've got some mistakes in there because:

90a=SCRAPPED
188d=SCUPPER
226d=EVANGEL

96a maybe=OUTTAKE (I'm sure of the o-u-t but not the rest of it)

I have the following in my copy:
23a = ABNORMAL
90a = SCRAPPLE
96a = OUTGATE
72d = ENTOURAGE
170d = SANGUINE
188d = SCUPPER
226d = EVANGEL

OutGATE rather tthan OutTAKE! Excellent, Dutchy!

Been doing them for 25 years Andrei but still get it wrong at times.

pray tell dutchy what were computers like 25 years ago or were you just born with a brilliant mind, talking of which I'm sure we all appreciate what you tell us youre a legend.philcottie

Hi dutchy can you tell me and others where you got SCRAPPLE from as a definition for JUNKED.Have looked every where for this including on line and a couple of large dictionaries without success but the definitions Iv'e got for scrapple don't come anywhere near JUNKED.Not that I doubt you for one minute I wouldn't do that .philcottie

Hi philcottie.

We've had a change of heart after another long search and came up with other answers for that corner:
90a = SCRAPPED
99a = OUTFALL
79d = TODDLES.

Hope I got it right this time.

I think that is right dutchy because this is what we in the west have come up with.

Yeah, I had been wondering about that SCRAPPLE because it means something entirely different. SCRAPPED, on the other hand, makes sense.

(You realize, of course, that I don't have the puzzle in front of me; I'm just going by what you guys post as clues and possible letters.)

You are doing well Andrei without the books!
