Col.286 UK. Stinker

The first one looks as if it should be PROSCRIBED

Thank you fresco. l looked it up on google and it as you said , not heard that one before. Now l am looking for the answers to 212a Edinburgh Tattoo performer (?A?E?PER)
193D Spartan infantrymen (H?P?ITES)
Can you or anybody please help me, with thnks.

bagpiper
Hoplites

Once again Cherrie THANK YOU for your help. l am left with -l think- just three to find.
168a offspring (PR?U?NY) l did have PROGENY for this one but the O seems to be wrong as the word it mixes in with going down 161d l have EUREIOUS which the clue is Outstandingly bad and l looked it up and that is the answer l came up with.
The other two l have are also baffling me
225d Fortifications l came up with several answers BASTIONS, BULWARKS and the one that Seemed to fit was bulwarks as it mixes in with 243a a town on the lsle of Wight starting with an N, for which l came up with NEWPORT, so really none of the above words fit, also
253a Waffling, l just cannot get any words to fit all together, is it possible that you can look at it and give me some help, would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

It could be an enormous error of my part, as I haven't the grid, but I'd check the fortifications with ramparts, defenses, outworks or redoubts.

Maybe then my progeny would be safe..

Hi Margsy
BULWARKS and NEWPORT are correct. Waffling is RAMBLING.
Hope all is well with you. Beautiful day, blue sky and warm

Thank you timur, l have settled for BULWARKS as answer to 225d as it fits nicely with all the other clues. l am still wondering about 168a offspring, it could well be progeny but then it would not fit to clue 161d behaving badly ,my answer is EUREGIOUS, l looked it up, so the U comes as the third letter for clue 168a, quite a posing clue,will carry on and see if l can solve it.Again THANK YOU.

Thank you for your help, as you can see l am struggling with clues 161d and 168a. Weather today-Monday- is foul, raining all night and now into the rest of the day, makes one feel very down at times, especially when racking my brain to try and solve this clue. Just got my new BIG so might just start on that one. Have got to check the Puzzle collection no 100 to see if l need to finish any grids that l may well have not finished. ttfn.

I don't believe my progeny is behaving egregiously..

Hi 168a is PROGENY and 161d is EGREGIOUS
181a is STREAMER 198a is OUTLETS 209a is ESPALIER which leaves 161d with ?G?E??OUS.
Weather now horrible, at least I have BIG to look forward to.

Thank you timur, your word fitted very nicely, thank goodness that stinker is now finished, giving me brain ache it was. ttfn

Thank you James34, as l said to timur, that the word EGREGIOUS fitted in nicely, thank goodness stinker now finished, giving me brain ache. At present the sun is shining, cat asleep on the windowsill and l have the window slightly open. Do not know how long this will last. almost 10am Tuesday. ttfn.
