  More of this nonsense?! Thank you solvers for joining in once again, and hopefully I've managed to raise a smile here or there. As always, click up above to follow along with my puzzles, and if you enjoyed it please let me know with a comment or a like (Or why not both?)

  Usually my puzzles get about a ~50% success rate, so well done if you managed it. The wash-up looks a little something like this:

  ACROSS. 1A. Scoundrels = CURS + first letter of "except". 4A. Homophone of "computer programmer" = CODER. 5A. Cryptic def. 6A. anag. AHOT. 7A. Hidden in "maSTERNeeds".

  DOWN. 1D. "men" = CHAPS, minus P ("powerless"), insert O ("admit nothing"). 2D. cycle letters of "peripheral" = OUTER. 3D. Remove first letter of "put things away" = NEATEN.
