Good morning, and as ever many thanks DJA - it looks good.

[bakajiji]

Thank you very much, DJA! Very much appreciated.

What a pleasant surprise to come home from holiday to find among the usual junk e-mails, 2 spectator crosswords! Thanks for those and future ones.

Thanks as always.
And now for some general education about the latest Adobe Reader 9.
It's possible to print out only part of the document by going to Tools, Select & Zoom, Snapshot Tool. Left click on the mouse, draw the area you want to print. Then right click and print.

Thanks, dja.
Could I please have a little bit of help with my last one?
15 D. Girl,say, mostly singing (6)??ris?
(Because of the theme/preamble, I actually have l?ris?, but this could be wrong)
NB. The preamble says 'some clues comprise a definition part and a hidden consecutive jumble of the answer including one extra letter'.

many thanks

Got it, by working through Chambers. I won't give it here in case it spoils the crossword for anyone else!

[lashley]

many thanks
ps one week you did it covering whole page-excellent for those of us with bad eyesight-any of repeating that in future?i'm not up to the adobe instructions

Thanks djawhufc for sending the crossword, but my computer won't allow me to open it in this form. It says the file is corrupt ! ;o(

[slaney]

Worked fine for me teacher 1 - if you remind me of your email address I can send you a scanned copy.

Thanks slaney.

Thanks Sheila. Got it now. ;o)

[maurice]

This is ridiculous: got everything except one letter: the middle one of 25a!!! Can anyone give me a tiny little hint? Must be barmy!

[kayakamina]

Look in Chambers under Isolated replay

[maurice]

Many thanks, kkm: just found it myself, of course -- and had never heard of it!
What a way to finish!

[smithies]

Belated thanks DJA

[truron]

I am stuck - apparently unlike all others -on one letter ( I think) to complete 6 ac. Am I alone in this impasse ?
