I suppose if there is a theme it is one of laddish terminolgy, a modern trend across the Guardian and the Indy which some of the boys love but will perhaps appeal to others rather less.

I’ve got AMNESIAC in for 12ac, but can’t fully explain why. AM = american, and an elephant remembers, but apart from that?

5d I guessed at Edithe of Edythe, but can’t work out the homonym (if it is one!) I guess it’s probably wrong!

re: 14d. I got The Wall as the album from the checking W. But is ‘crazy’ the definition? If so, aren’t you driven ‘up the wall’, driven crazy, rather than ‘up the wall’ meaning being crazy?
