EV 816 A Serious Blow by Dervish

Here is this weeks Enigmatic Variations

To any EV solver!

I am undertaking the statistics for the Telegraph EV. This is because several people find the timeframe until submission too short and in my opinion there have been some crosswords harder than the listener. It would be interesting to see these statistics and depending on the results may influence this timeframe.

I could never reach the echelon of J Green and it must be stressed I don't submit the EV and never will do. So I have no interest other than seeing how we fare.

E-mail a scanned copy/reconstructed typed grid or a list of the answers with the info of the required theme to [email protected] by 6pm on the Wednesday after the EV (i.e. last post). However please e-mail me whenever you have finished as they will be invaluable to the statistics.

Just use any alias and not your name (if you don't want to) or home address. As we generally do with the listener threads � hints and tips only on the threads. Comments are most welcome and I will copy this every week, so spread the word.

Regards Midazolam

Thanks for that Midazolam.

A set of scripts for checking did't arrive today ( typical ) and I've been twiddling my thumbs all day.

fatherhood is great but challenging...and still slightly surreal

lucky this weeks thematic crosswords were all completed in good time. This weeks EV has a theme suitable for childhood similar to a recent Listener. Very apt

many thanks for link

mad max

that was easy now back to the listener

A query on the theme. I have the phrase but can only make it 13 letters, whereas my on line version of the crossword says 16. Any comments?

Rapparee

The first line of the nursery rhyme should nudge you in the right direction.

Christiana

Thanks Raparee, sorry for the delay in getting back to you but Q & P wouldn�t load then I had to go out. I think I�ve worked out the last three squares of the sixteen
