Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, Took a little longer on this one this week, had never heard of the innovator, for a start, then some words not in my vocabulary and some juggling to comply with the...
Allow me to start the thread this week, as I believe DocHH said he'd be, um, off-piste till Wednesday. (No word if he's pist.... - never mind.) A well-constructed puzzle as always, but the payoff did...
I'm stuck on a couple - notably 30 across. I don't want the solution to this (yet!!) but just to know if I've got 27 down wrong and am so confusing myself. I've got "resent" for this but I...
Here is a link to today's crossword- 2010 set by Dumpynose. http://thespectator.n...om/epaper/viewer.aspx I'm not sure if the theme was prompted by the recent troubles or just coincidence. Happy New...
A very happy Christmas - where are you all? This was an exciting grid fill with lots of alcohol and Christmas goodies and I am delighted, though reeling and rather bemused, about what we are required...

Down to the final four of the year now, for those who are still in for an all correct year. (Sadly my own ambition dies some weeks ago due to a careless error of transcription.) Have not started yet,...
Just thought I would start a thread for N & Cing. If nothing else, all you CC's can tell me you have all finished it in 15 minutes 34 seconds or whatever! Managed about a third so far but am...
Good grief, where is everyone? This week's offering is by Phi, and, my word, I'm having a fair old struggle with it! Has anyone finished it yet?
Good luck everybody!
emcee...
Does anyone know why there is no EV thread on answerbank this week? Did everyone find it so easy? I have most of the phrase and an inkling what needs to be removed from the twelve answers but I was...
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, A little more challenging this week. Populated the grid slowly, but steadily, then pored for ages trying to fathom the relevance of the extra letters, still not sure,...
