Listener 4049: The Domino Effect by Googly

The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly

Listener 4048: Rules of Construction by Poat

With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...

Listener 4,047: Cut Out by Lato

Listener 4046: Disagreement by Stan

Enjoyable, and far less taxing than last week. No doubt the theme will not please everybody, but it's very prettily executed, with great economy and no ambiguity.

Listener 4045: Admission by Kea

This week's puzzle is by Raich, who last brought us "Men In Her Life", a George Eliot-themed puzzle two years ago . Nothing too taxing or out of the ordinary here, though the finish might generate a...

Last one: 16a. Openers good for unknown receptacles (4) I'm left with C?GS. Cigs? Cogs? No, can't see it - I may have gone astray on one of the down clues, of course. I'd be grateful for any help.

Coincidence or Same Setter?

Yesterday's Guardian- Hymn fades, one listener having turned up (4.4) Today's Azed Hymn expressing wish regularly contributed to by one and all? (8 two words)

Listener 4042: How to Put On a Little Weight by Charybdis

A while since Charybdis' last Listener (The difficult "Wot no Lines?" in 2007) The grid fill here is much easier, and the quotation was got only after 12 entries. We are left with an ambiguity that...

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...
