Hi

2 D Newspaper for a teacher featuring drill (9)

It's a hidden - def is 'drill'

and

12 Acc Seeming reliable, and at home with golf (8)

Parses 5(reliable) + 2(home) + 1(abbr) - def 'seeming'

Thank you, geting, much appreciated.

But perhaps I am getting a little too old and slow, because even with your expert breakdown of the clue, I just cannot ''see'' it. It is frustrating as I blitzed through the entire crossword bar for these two.

The 'drill' is 'make holes in' (paper, say) and it's definitely just sitting there in the clue.

12.. ????? as a pound,reliable, ??, at home, and golf from the Nato alphabet
