Listener Crossword 4080

Listener Crossword 4079

This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...

EV 906 - Recognition By Kruger

Evening all. The toughest for a while, I thought. And might there be an error in 3dn ? The wordplay suggests an S as the third letter, while the grid seems to require a T. I'd be delighted to be shown...

Mephisto 2585

Take care when downloading this week's Mephisto from the Times website. Last week's mislabelling by date is still with us, so that the Mephisto at the top of the selection list is last week's (2584)...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

EV 904

Can't get it online this morning. The Spectator has posted the chess column as the crossword in error. Have e-mailed Doc. I will check again later. I know that we are all desperate.
