I had backlog for quite a while too. I’m sure it’s exactly what Azed wanted us to do!

I do enjoy the increasingly common compound anagrams; 29ac was especially good.

34ac: The reference is to the phrase “whingeing pom” used by Australians to describe complaining English people.

10ac: This must be C[anine] in (RUIN ALL OU[t])*. “Awful” is the anagram lead and “involved” denotes the inclusion.

11/16/17/31/34ac/3/13/15dn: I agree with the various comments above on these. (For 15dn I mean the consensus eventually reached @7,9).

you’re right. My equation should have looked like this :

O(nothing on) + [OCCU(holds) + BOSS(employer)]rev. = OSSO BUCCO (stew)

Ouch! Maths on a Sunday morning make my head hurt :)

15 – I agree with the above comments except that there isn’t double duty if you take occupies to mean “holds”. It would then be “with nothing on” = O at the top then “holds employer up” = SSOBSIEPUCCO, less “pies” = SSOBUCCO.
31 – kam/cam is a Shakespearean word meaning awry or “out of joint”, obsolete hence “formerly” – “out of joint” also being Shakespearean of course.

This was an unusually hard Plain Azed, I thought.
