@margsy,
Hi Margsy.
Is your letter count right for 132a? If it has another letter then I agree with Timur on AMPHORA. Also on RADIUS.
133d could be TROPE
79d could be TOOTLED or TODDLED

@leball,
Not too sure about that.
I'm wondering if Margsy has given us the wrong clue, or the wrong set of letters.
