Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...
What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....
Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...
A fairly easy solve in contrast to the rather complicated preamble. I haven't tried to work out the title yet!
Farewell Ruslan - you will be missed....
Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...
Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...
I suppose it had to come -- I mean both the theme and an easy one after a few gems. I am sure there could have been something more exciting by way of an end-game, but thanks anyway, Calmac....
One of those frustrating ones where the last four clues took as long to sort out as the rest of the clues and the theme altogether. Apart from those four, it was all pretty clear, so thanks Ifor. I...
Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.
This seemed very daunting at first with so much going on but turned into a happy romp once the device became clear, and especially when the quotation emerged. Thank you MynoT
RofL!! The two editors are pulling our whatnots here in this joyous romp! Setters beware - we now know what they want from us. Anyhow, great fun if something of a sprint from start to finish. Many...
A pretty easy solve, with clear advice coming from the extra letters. My preference is for a more formal style of invitation, but there I'm just old-fashioned. Not much else to say, really. Thank you,...
A nice playful offering by Mr E. Nothing too difficult in the clues, but I found spotting the way the other four fitted took far longer than it should have. Luckily I spotted the final one fairly...
This is becoming rather sad - the third 'Goodbye crossword' in succession. What fine final words from Syd Lexis. Our thanks to him for years of enjoyment.
Sad to see a farewell crossword from Mr Lemon: I had not picked up the fact that he had died. A nice puzzle to remember him by though, with lots of nice clues and a final step that had me chasing...
A very straightforward numerical. I was surprised at how few candidates there were for some of the number patterns, giving very clear entry points to the puzzle. Thanks, Hedgehog, for not taking up as...
