Wow! Looks interesting. Many thanks for the link!

[oldenburg]

Thank you mintyman99. Only just getting in to the PDFs.
And a Merry Christmas to fellow speccie crossword fans - Jingle all the way!

looks like it might be fun (either that or very tedious). Many thanks for the PDF mintyman

[kayakamina]

Thanks for the link mintyman.

I'm going to try to resist the temptation to start it now! There are so many other things that I've been instructed to do
that I better not be caught doing it.

Greetings to all Speccie solvers.

Thank you for the link, mintyman. I also have my orders, so this is a little something for the weekend, I think.

Thank you very much mintyman - double puzzles seem to be the flavour of the week - see Rose Maybud's earlier posting of this month's Generalist link:

Thanks for the PDF link Mintyman99. Well worth the effort - looks like it will need it - for a GBP100 first prize.

[mad max]

Many thanks for link

[Helveticus]

Many thanks for the PDF. Note: The rubric for Part 2 mentions "[...] one item of food [...]", but I think that the food at 29A is a plural.

Many thanks, Mintyman

[Christiana]

Thanks for the link Mintyman. Like Kayakamina I must put aside the temptation to look at it for a while at least - duty calls

[AHearer]

This was quite fun. I can't help feeling that the girls got short shrift compared to the boys when it came to presents.

[Ruthrobin]

Yes, AHearer, I think there was a bit of sexism in the presents - I ignored the 'respectively' in the present-giving, as I felt the 15d left-hand crossword gift would look far better on a man :) All good fun to solve though.
