EDIT: Thanks again, hlvp. After thinking the whole thing looked a bit beyond me today I gave it a shot and got a few. Iām not too sure about some of my solutions in the lower right.

This one might be wrong. Because if it is right, I cannot for the life of me figure out what 21 across could be.

Oh feck. I see it now. Thanks.

EDIT: Still do NOT get what 21 across could be, and can't help but feel my answer for 19D which was
must be wrong as well. Sigh. Such a frustrating day at this for me today.

Thanks. I still need to pick up on these little tricks the compiler plays. Even when you guys let me know how they work, I miss them the very next time.
Anyway, don't hold back on my account. I have got all the ones I was ever going to get today. I'll make a strategic withdrawal and come back to fight another day.

I find these crosswords get harder as the week progresses, along with the varying compilers.
