With apologies for interrupting the mirtin73 show, here's this week's puzzle - 'Roaring' by Dumpynose:

Thanks as always for the link greyfox.

Lots of tea with this one.

[cruciverbali]

Grrr-eat, thank you grrr-eyfox !

[Spaghetti]

Thanks as usual, greyfox. A bit more difficult than usual, I thought.

[greyfox]

No t-t-t-trouble at all. Can't sus out the wordplay for 35dn though.

[slaney]

Thanks greyfox..

35d A = per, with the usual two letter abbreviation for alien inserted.

[greyfox]

Many thanks slaney.

[cruciverbali]

Very clever puzzle from Dumpynose - 5 of the unclued entries were leading me to a very local race until I twigged the true significance of the title, which then explained the inclusion of 8/36 and the exclusion of 32 - Bravo !

[toalisi]

I have filled the grid and I understand the generous hint from Kayakamina re all the T's, but I cannot match those letters to the crossword title.

It is probably obvious but could someone please enlighten me?

[Mysterons]

Take a careful look at greyfox's posting (No. 4) - there is a numerical connection between the unclued entries which Cruciverbalist alluded to also.

[AHearer]

Are you sure it isn't a wind-up?

[toalisi]

Thanks Mysterons - all clear now.

[Helveticus]

After something of a struggle, I managed to get all except 30. Could anyone give me a hint?

[greyfox]

Heviticus: it's in Chambers as an obsolete word for a type of viol.

[Mysterons]

Emperor = i (imperator)

[Helveticus]

Thanks to greyfox and Mysterons, with whose help I managed to solve 30, although I am not too hot on obsolete viol synonyms.

Belated thanks for link
