Another pleasant puzzle, with unambiguous clues and a pretty, if straightforward, end-game. Thanks to Little Hare, both for the puzzle and for sending me back to the source of the message....
Grr - I dont like Broteas crosswords - find it very hard to get connections - could do with some help - Balzac's translated contribution to Tristram Shandy T??, ?????, S????; Ford's final attitude in...
Lovely puzzle by the Listener editors (Tiburon and Kea). Impressive to think these excerpts were published in the paper. I was thinking as I was solving it that I am still in need of a cryptic clue,...
That was good fun. I have to admit that I used the extra words to deduce the first six relevant entries, and only then sat down to work out what the husband and wife had been up to. I suppose it might...
A very satisfying puzzle this one, and thankfully easier to make inroads into than last week's. Everything fell into place quite quickly once I had enough answers to have a go at grid entry. I like...
Thanks, Emu, for a well-constructed homage a great work of art. Not among the more difficult Listeners, but that does not detract from its excellence. I assume the ambiguity of one of the abbreviated...
Got last 3 in top right hand corner all interwoven with each other .... 7A : familiar term for a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage (2,6) : P?, C???S? : second word CHAISE? but what’s the first word?...

Hello EVers, I am amazed I actually have a fully populated grid, and in accordance with the "highllighted" grid letters. As a total philistine I had not heard of 7d, nor his works. I am still somewhat...
I didn't even think of trying to fit the entries into the grid until I had cold-solved all but six. A couple of false starts, but as usual with this sort of puzzle once a few had slotted together the...
What a nicely clued and thematically amusing start to the year. We laughed at the phrase. Many thanks to Kruger. A Happy New Year to all our fellow AB threaders.
A very entertaining and well-constructed puzzle. Hard to believe how much the setter fit into such a small space. One minor quibble. The thematic subject of the puzzle, as described by its Wikipedia...
I'm surprised that there isn't a thread up for this yet. (Apologies if there is one) I started on it this afternoon, having only returned to the UK this morning. Just a couple of loose ends to tie up,...
