@r10pez10 I read left 7 across as "rape on stage".
-
GORN for the word jumble.
Edit: and I guess the 9 letter word is FORTNIGHT?

"Cable", I'd think.
6 down sounds like "initial".

Wait, the letters don't have to be adjacent/connected (like Boggle)?
Well fuck.

-
21 across: pass out
-
16 down: events

19 across: elector

2 down: meant ("object" form of the pronoun "I" = me, "worker" ant, "intended" is a synonym of meant)

@r10pez10 I like cryptic crosswords, and will do one most days (except Saturdays). This is a pretty simple one, but made harder by doing the bits in my head. ;)
8 across:
ENHANCE
= (m)EN + (c)HANCE
18 across:OVERT
= OVER + T(ower)
19 across:ELECTOR
= double definition (Holy Roman Empire's various princes were electors of the Emperor)
4 down:BEDECK
= BECK (stream) + ED(itor) inserted
5 down:RHEOSTAT
= anagram of (HOTTER AS)
16 down:EVENTS
= E + VENTS
20 down:EATS
= ES (compass quarters) + TA (thanks) in the middle backwardsThat should help a little… (Also, anyone answering should put a bit of explanation in to help others following along. My style above is a little terse, but similar to that of a few cryptic solving blogs. Hopefully a little more accessible though.)

16 down: events
19 across: elector
Sorry! Didn't notice that you'd already done these. My apologies…

No need to apologize.

@r10pez10 Next tranche.
7 across:
OPERA
= anagram of A ROPE
9 across:CONSOLE
= C (100, roman numerals) + ON + SOLE (of foot)
10 across:ON TOW
= anagram of NOW TO
6 down:INITIAL
= smartass definition (“I” is the initial letter of “Italian”)
11 down:WELL BORING
= double definition (NB: previously suggested DRAW BORING doesn't fit)
13 down:ADOPTION
= AD (our era) + OPTION (choice)I think that just leaves 12A and 14D to do.

@dkf And the last two are:
12 across:
BASKETBALL
= (shopping) BASKET + BALL (dance) — hey, it made me chuckle
14 down:ASPERSE
= AS (since) + PER SE (intrinsic)My least favourite clues are 11D and 14D.
