Here's something to tease you a bit. The puzzle is from Sam and the title courtesy of Mr S.
If you want to check anything with me by PM, then feel free.

edit: There was an error in 25 across: the coloured square should be the second square and not the third. Now amended.

How did I manage to miss this the first time round? I'll swear sometimes the view new posts thing tries to trick me. Thanks Cenwulf.

I never saw that one either, and I usually check ALL new posts

That was a nice little puzzle Cenwulf.

Thanks Cenwulf - could you put me out of my misery by pm'ing the answer to 8 down???

Spoiler (but not the answer!): if you look up the lyrics, you should find the answer...

I have just done this too. Thanks, it was just the thing for a lazy Easter Sunday afternoon

This is literally the French word for 'mallow'.

And showed up in the issue now numbered as Zero (if memory serves me correctly)

Forgot to come back and say "Thank You" for this - a nice puzzle. I enjoyed it.
