Hello everyone, When I saw the grid and clue listing, and then read the rubric, (no clue numbers, grid numbers, superfluous words in clues deduction of an unclued entry and to cap it all squares to be...
Hello everyone, I hope you've all been to Church, good day to you all. Never done a 'barred' Hypnos puzzle before. Only grid ones in the Independent. This should be fun, at least I now have ODQ5 !...
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Mr O...............I just knew it was going to be before I opened the paper, oh woe! I am heading straight into DC to hang some black-out curtains, dust...
'THREE GRACES' by Rustic. My third EV (a newbie). Looks - for me - rather solvable as I now own the aides required! I assume my 2nd edition of ODQ has the required answer(s). Good luck to all! and God...
Hello everyone! Haven't looked closely at the puzzle yet, am saving it for the train tomorrow. If you check in Doc - check last week's posts, I gave you a description of a hay-bob! Rather expect I...
Hello EV N&Cing Wine Clubbers, A little late than normal, the site has been rather slow, I did try posting earlier. I spent a while getting my "red hound" the Enigma, but the normal clues were...
my five month old daughter has started being really fussy with her feeds, she was taking 6-7oz 5 times a day. i started her on a couple of spoons of solids at her 11am feed, she was doing well then...
Good evening EV N & Cers, I haven't looked at it yet, a treat for later as I have been a very good girl and met my two deadlines, cleaned out the freezers and dairy in prep for the return of the lambs...
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...
Hello EV N&Cers and Wine Clubbers, Not too many "gifts" to get started this week, so I was a little down in the mouth! I didn't get the relevance of the quote until I looked in ODQ!
If I am not mistaken Doc HH noted two weeks ago that he'd be absent for this week's meeting of the N&C club, so I will take it upon myself to start the proceedings (and will be really embarrassed if...
Hello N&Cing EVers, Found the quote quite quickly, but it took a while to realise how to apply it. Have yet to relate that to the title! Thoughts?!? Was it significant that the 2 surnames in EV 862...
Good Afternoon EV N & C'ers. Haven't yet opened the EV yet but had a notification that there was a further post on last week's! drb is having trouble getting a copy of this week's and wonders if...
Good Afternoon all EV N & C'ers. Have only glanced at it but don't feel hopeful. Sez it all on my last post of last week's - special message for you Physicsgirl! Regards
Hello EV N&Cing Wine Clubbers, That was somewhat more challenging. A few words I'd never heard of didn't help! After I'd spotted a possibility in the perimeter it all fell into place. Pleased to see...
Good afternoon EVers. I know I am early but have been in need of light relief from the boring piece I am trying to finish so just thought I would check and see how difficult this week's is considered...
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers My first reaction when looking at the grid was to think "impossible". But the clues were mainly gifts and using "copy", "cut" and "paste" as suggested in the superfluous...
