Noun, verb or adjective? 4

Cryptic puzzles often try to confuse you by using words which could be a noun in one context, but could be a verb or an adjective in another. The usual rule with cryptic clues is, if your first thought is that it's a verb, it's probably a noun or an adjective and vice versa. For example, "Bar 50% of public (3)" is phrased in such a way to imply that "bar" is a VERB, meaning PROHIBIT, but it's actually a NOUN meaning PLACE THAT SELLS ALCOHOL (the answer is, of course, PUB, which is 50% of the word PUBLIC). The one- and two-clue puns in the following crossword mostly rely on at least one word in the clue messing with your head in this way.
