The magazine is described as an Easter double issue. So no Speccie next week.

Thanks Minty

[bellabee]

thanks mintyman - the finish took some careful reading through chambers.

Thanks Mintyman - totally agree bellabee - those last few took some finding!

On a lighter note, I returned from holiday to find I'd won the Times Crossword Club March puzzle - £100!! I'll have to go away again!

[bellabee]

congratulations roslyn - a decent prize for once!

[kayakamina]

Welcome back Ros and congratulations on your win.

As has been said, there were some interesting words, but the letters forming the 'Juiced Rimer's Turbid Pen' provided confirmation of the unchecked letters.

Well done Roslyn indeed. I wonder how many people enter it as only about 60 or so bother to enter with stats... (the incorrect not very useful stats) .. I guess there must be quite a few more. As Bellabee says that will pay for a few stamps even with the price hike !

[slaney]

Congratulations Roslyn - I had no idea the prize was that much!

A very enjoyable Spectator from Lavatch - I did like the descriptive "Juiced Rimer..."

Belatedly, many thanks for the link. Thought I would look at this, yesterday's EV and a local quiz for a friend of mine today. Agree totally with the comments made about this puzzle and would add my congratualtions to Roslyn. Have "hit the wall" with the other two ( two to do in each ) but will persevere.
