Listener 4379 The One Left Over By Kruger

What a nicely clued and thematically amusing start to the year. We laughed at the phrase. Many thanks to Kruger. A Happy New Year to all our fellow AB threaders.

Listener No 4338 A Game Of 15 By Glow-Worm

Another fairly straightforward grid-fill, though deciphering some of the 15ing was a little trickier. The finish raised a smile. Thanks Glow-worm....

Listener 4328: Reductio Ad Absurdum By Stick Insect

The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...

Listener No 4327 The Alcoholic Baseball Player By Waterloo

Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

Tls 1035
