Listener 4040: In Shock by Hubris

Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...

Listener Crossword 4039 - Intimacy by Bandmaster

A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...

Listener Crossword 4034

This week's offering is "Overhead Reduction" by Schadenfreude. No mention of colouring, but apparently scissors, paper, adhesive and a straight edge will be required. Hmmmm !

any thoughts on Mr E's latest. The number connection fills me with dread. Have solved about half of the clues and found several clashes. Cheers

Listener 4027: Command Performance by Centigram

Centrigram gives us this weeks listener with a very nice denouement (better than squaring the circle last year) Although the across anagrams makes it tougher than the clues actually are, there is a...

A fine crossword from Zero as always. The grid filled fairly quickly but the thematic material is excellent. As usual the grid and clues have been forwarded on. If anyone else would like a copy:...

LISTENER CROSSWORD 4022 At arms length by Hotspur

Maybe all our prominent members are resting after last week's exertions, so I'll kick off this week's thread. Haven't had more than a glance at it yet and am not too familiar with this setter.

Listener 4021 Mazy by Salamanca

Still no link, of course. But another that relies heavily on cold solving. And a lovely nod for the Classicists amongst us in the use of "boustrophedon". I suspect more such will...

3d S-n-o-n-a Drink associated with a Victorian tramp? Looks like I have gone wrong somewhere. Doubtful about 16a "Baccarat camel" but don't know types of camel. Any suggestions?
