Listener 4842 For Me And You By Pandiculator

[HawkCrossword]

We haven't had many this year which I would categorise as a "beast", but this one's among them. Brilliantly crafted, evil clues throughout, and lots of deception in the endgame - I loved it. Thanks, Pandiculator.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. The clues were tough and well-disguised.

An interesting endgame; the representation of the message is curious but further research sheds some light on the problem.

Thanks, Pandiculator.

Enjoyed working this one through. The rather unpromising letter sequences took a while to fall into place and the preamble needed several re-readings to understand what the final message was about.

I'm not entirely sure about my final rendition - although I have managed to incorporate the correct number of cells. Feel that there may yet be some other hidden treasure that I haven't spotted.

Enjoyed reading about the relevant themes. Thank you Pandiculator.

Quite challenging. Seemingly unrelated thematic threads. It took you to some of the less frequently visited parts of Chambers. One of those where once you get to the end, you finally figure out what the preamble was all about.

Thanks, Pandiculator. (Interesting name, someone stretching and yawning?)

[Cruncher]

Aah - sound of coins clattering. Very pleasing puzzle

More subtly-concealed spam from this Aber, with his weekly plug.

Canary42. Can't help feeling that your aspiration to be a career troll is rather limited by the nicheness of a thread like this. Feel you should aim higher IMHO

[Philoctetes]

I thought the Canary was  being self-referential

A tough puzzle this week .

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and might look at the endgame next weekend as we are expecting a numeric.

Thanks, Pandiculator.
