Robyn a little tougher than we get in his Monday guise (3d!) – but that is as it should be for a Sunday Toughie. I had a bit of trouble parsing a few (14a and 25a) but I think I have them now
Four different ways of indicating outer letters (4a 10a 24a and 3d) but they all work for me and some nice computer-related surfaces too, I was working with a high-level Windows user in 14a for a while until I chucked it out of the window
We have 14a and 14d clues and I have hinted half, I hope you find the checkers to finish this puzzle but I will remain on hand with a bonus nudge if you are stuck
Here we go…
