Couldn't squeeze 'em all in the crossword, eh?!

RK — 01 May at 09:14AM

DA took all the good ones, but I'll give it a go.

12. Losing streak
13. Adams' canines
14. Taylor's slim

Bit stuck on three - do the following start with:

4: e
6: w
9: t?

Like the fact you might have to Bail for 7, sounds like a Hazzard.

RK — 01 May at 09:56AM

I had those letters for 4 and 9, but f for 6.

Sam — 01 May at 10:13AM

Thanks RK, just had to ditch the first four letters for 6

2: provides the "U" in "Waylay 1 hour"

1. L
2. H
3. W
5. C
7. F
8. T
10. E
11. T

And with;

4. E

That means I have _AYLAY _ HOUR.

Alec Ihm — 01 May at 02:38PM

I don't see how 6 and 9 work but I'm pretty sure they are the same as Sam's and RK's answers. That means I have the full WAYLAY 1 HOUR.

9 is something that involves getting up close and personal, possibly with complete strangers, with flexibility being a definite advantage.
