Thanks in advance....
The answer to this appears to be 'Wanda', but can anyone square that with the instruction that all the alphabetical clues are 'of a kind'? It doesn't seem to be of that kind at all!
This week we have Hexes by Stick Insect. Very straighforward compared with last week's gem. I thought there was a little ambiguity with shading, which I took to be resolved by requiring symmetry in a...
This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...
After last week's confusion with two weeks labelled as March 14th, this week we have a grid with no clues on the web site. A suggestion involving socks, up and pull springs to mind.
This one's a gem: don't be put off by the complex instructions or that fearsome 65,536 possible combinations: It all comes out well in the end. Good, fair clues, some lovely PDM's, and a satisfying...
In case others are interested, here is a link to this term's CAM, with Schadenfreude's 'Undertones' on page 48:

I see that Mephisto 2584 on the Times web site has the date March 14th against it. When the papers hit the mats tomorrow, it would be very helpful if somebody could post confirmation or otherwise that...
Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...
Hoorah - numbers. Again one must marvel at the construction. There are some fairly obvious approaches, but I have not ventured into the hinterland much. I do hope the required clues give a...
This was a good mix of lots of different techniques. Progress was steady until a major PDM when I realised what the keywords were. After that it was very straightforward. I was rather uncomfortable...
I think we have turned a corner in terms of difficulty. Another outstanding grid construction. The lack of unches made the task easier once the quotation was got, but the way it all tied in together...
I am glad there was no dilemmas here (which was the case for me in "A New Year Message" 2008). As with all of the year's listeners so far, the grid was fairly easy easy to fill, but the...
Finished at last (I think!), but have a query about 28a: Is behind the barrier at York, perhaps (6) TRA?LS. 'Trails' is 'is behind', but what has it to do with York?
