EV 867 The Three Rs, by Obtrox
42 Answers
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers,
The grid was fairly quickly populated, although it took a bit longer to sort out the 2 extra letters in some of the across clues. It didn't help that I'd assumed some wrongly or in the wrong order! The superfluous letter in the clue for 37d was puzzilng for a while, then I ignored it, without detriment.

Devadolly, I can assure you that was not nagging,it was just encouragement to try and ensure you would not give up!
As a hint, which copelander would probably describe as "not subtle", hope you enjoyed the sun, as I did today and that your book didn't rip so much bodice that you overexposed the "DERMIS", NER, I hope you are too modest for that. Look at the title and find 3 aquares in the grid that literally represent that. I initially entered the more well known answer for 42ac, but I suspect U know better!
happy to hint heavily for your last SE light!
BTW I have full permission that if you don't complete this week you are not allowed to paddle, which has now been drained or raid the fridge!! There is a lock on it now!

Hi everybody!
I've just logged out of my spyware ( sorry software ) while I'm waiting for one of my team to finish some Sample marking.
Seems that practicallly everybody has got through this EV so I suggest that all goodies from the DC be moved to the CCC so that we can all enjoy.
Physicsgirl -- We're told that AQA HQ in Harrogate has limited car-parking. Can you please suggest anywhere in the vicinity for when I have to go there on 6th July?

DocHH - just stop that sulking at once, you are more than welcome (we would love you to join us) in DC but you will have to keep very quiet about having finished the EV in 24 and a half seconds and stop giving us lesser mortals an inferiority complex! Just pretend you are a normal mortal and we will feed you peeled grapes in thanks for 'innocent' hints!
ringer - good idea, shall I bring a wireless for the afternoon play? Have also got a 'left-over' cake from the big wedding cake bake, I'll just give it another feed before I bring it.
There is no point in anybody trying to emulate the DC, we just have it so well fitted out a CCC will never catch up.
Am keeping a low profile today as the last couple of days were so beautiful that Himself was planning to start mowing for big bales (despite the weather reports I have kept bombarding him with) and - whoops, it's pouring down. Think I'll put some chops in for his lunch before I go to my meeting!
No still haven't got it, but as I have not had more than 3 minutes at a time on it..............EV over the shoulder.

Novalis, I have populated the Speccie grid, except for the unchecked letters of the unclued lights. I'm assuming that the title is indication things related to your subject, don't have Brewers so am struggling from here on. Don't think you'll have too much difficulty get to the stage I am currently at!
Your team probably had a good mentor.

Thanks Physicsgirl & Mini, can I tempt you to tea and cake too. Am just decanting last year's Elderflower & Lemon cordial (like sloe gin, always drink the year's before) so will bring a bottle, very refreshing when let down with a bit of fizz, will do you good novalis. DocHH - you really will have to come to DC............you know you want to.
PS recipe available for E & L cordial, now is the hour as the Es are very short lived.

Absolutely not, we are not talking CCC, we are talking CC, Completers Corner! You will never wish to leave there! It is the epitome of luxury!! Absolutely no need for anyone to bring offerings, everything is provided at the mere wave of a hand!!
BTW I'll not be posting on sunday, I have to be at a "family party", but I'll look for you on monday, sometime!!

DocHH your CC stands for Cloud Cuckoo, nothing happens with a wave of the hand! DC must also stand for Directly Centred - the offerings are all part of the fun, you are tempting us with perfection which as a dedicated occupier of DC I just can't cope with (rather like the Seychelles, fabulous but not real)...........................come on in Doc, Mini's pool is great + the new season's lamb is due back on Monday..chops on the Barbie?
Sounds idyllic Devadolly,I'll join you shortly. I think Mini PG's pool needs to be made somewhat larger!!
Doc HH, thank you for your kind words. You were right about the Speccie. I knew three of them and turned round to grab a very handy little book to confirm waht the fourth had to be. If you need any hints for/help with the idioms let me know please.

hello, all. Just checking in to assure you that each of you was toasted with very fine Riojas during the past few days. And yes, sparkling from Saumur is delightful. Sunday Telegraph quite easy to find in Spain, and most of it completed out there, with only author's name and highlighting to be done today. Great.! Speravi, what is a draw in cricket called.... a tie???, a two way win???, or something quite different?
