Except that's not a recognised initialisation for the Foreign Office; it shoulf be FCO. [/pedant]

Tired and unemotional
The two words which most often preceded Gromit's nick on here began with the letters F and O

It is in crosswords. I fail to see what it has to do with gromit though.

Fuck off.

No need to be like that, I was only asking.

This has them very confused. It probably doesn’t help that in a 'lonely' themed quiz I already had Hearts followed by Gun Club. But they’re nowhere close yet

19d Raheem ?

Let me slightly amend two clues to help:
21a - Check its not Voley on acid (it should have been this in the first place, a much better written clue. And it is a well known poster, whose name no one understood, till now!))
4d - Hawkwind led the Hashishin (this is a slightly obscure poster, but one of the very best Hawkwind songs)
12d is a perfectly valid answer, tho you will all scream at me.
I'll add a couple more clues too, as I only just realised there is only one letter that can be revealed for 16a

Hopefully you can see where the new clues go (the Urban relationship might not be immediately obvious in a couple of cases, but it's there)
22d - Lass with nothing is always good for a spliff, (abbreviation)
23d - Fruit for in the corner
24a - Hilary's rubbish

And I presume because of that, that makes 23d plum. Which you should have put with 24a surely?
