“Here we (don't) go again”

Hi Strands fans. Not the most exciting theme or puzzle today, but it does have the distinction of being, by my count, the smallest to date. There are just five answers on the grid, meaning you have longer words to find.
The theme of "Here we (don't) go again" meant absolutely nothing at to me, so I had to use a clue. It revealed the anagram of GEBALKOC, which I eventually decoded as BLOCKAGE.
That, combined with the somewhat tenuous theme, was enough for me to figure out that the topic was about being stuck in traffic, and I duly got the spangram of TRAFFICJAM across the middle of the board. This neatly cordoned off OVERCROWDING in the bottom-left corner, and I was over halfway there.
There were only two words to find in the top half, and they didn't take long to uncover. CONGESTION covered all three edges of the top half, and that just left GRIDLOCK in the middle to complete the puzzle.
