Good Ones!

Jobs creation    APPLE [computer maker, Jobs]
Grim figure     REAPER [not Grimm, but it could have been]
Eye sore   STYE [not eyesore]
Theme entries [complete answer and red part are both actual phrases:
Military vehicle arrangement?    HUMVEEFORMATION
Ordinary dinner bread?   HUMDRUMROLL

For "45 years after William I invaded England" Barry wanted MCXI.  My first answer, which I was so sure was correct I put down in ink, was llll.  The Battle of Hastings was in 1066, and I did the math: 45 + 1066 = 1111.  Wrong!
