When the pdf filename was in the format yyyy-mm-dd.pdf it was always available on a Wednesday night, but since they started just naming it crossword.pdf it generally doesn't appear until Thursday morning. So at least I've got something to mull over later this evening.

Thanks for the link which I wasn't expecting tonight.

Much easier than last week although I seemed to know the 'members' by other names!

[Rapparee]

Might be an idea to look for this on a Wednesday from now on...
You seem to have done it already. Well, I'm about to get a gargle or two and park myself in front of the telly with 1856.

For our friend Lezapping - look at the title of the crossword, remember what time of the year this is , solve 34a & 33d
and the theme will become clear.

Greetings, Kayakamina! Yes, I think I see the importance of the title..it's all in the season and things look promising...it gets more and more interesting every week. This Holy Week, with the Last Supper and the Gospels, is an inspiration! Many thanks again for the help from you and also from the other geniuses like Tichfield and Rapparee!
Salut!
