I am surprised that there seem to be no other posts, as I am usually quite slow at solving. Anyway, an enjoyable workout from Yorick, although one that required a lot of careful cross-checking.
Some excellent clueing, especially where extra letters were unambiguously indicated. The end result may never win a prize for elegance, even with the speakers revealed, but the gridfill speeds up very...
No one has solved this yet?? It's Friday afternoon in California, so after midnight in the UK. I'm in a strange position. Solved grid. I know the quotation, its source and the corresponding key. No...
Excellent puzzle. Totally misinterpreted the first missing item I found, then spent about three hours looking for eight more similar items, before realising I had led myself well up the garden path....
One of the quickest solves of the year -- the definitions-only clues fell rapidly once the first was solved, and the final sentence was fairly easy to spot. Sorry, Wiglaf, but I'm left wanting a bit...
Wow! After staring at the full grid for hours off and on, I finally saw one of the words...then another..and then I was done. Thanks, Elfman, for a first-rate Listener!
Grid entry only took half an hour, but then I'm ashamed to say that it took another half hour for the penny to drop. It raised a chuckle, so thank you Towser....
The length of the preamble was a bit off-putting, but taking my courage in both hands and plunging in showed enough fairly straightforward clues to be able to get started. The last step was a bit...
Not nearly as scary as the preamble suggested, and a really nice sequence of PDMs leading to a satisfying final grid. Thanks Ifor, and I hope everyone here (in the UK, at least) has a nice long...
This has produced a giggle but it was a tough solve until the message appeared and we are going to have to be very careful with our checking of our final grid. What an amusing and original idea. Many...
Listener No. 4333 - In the Event of Fire by Flying Tortoise This thread is for the traditional 'elliptical' discussion, comments and thanks to the setter. If you want to participate in a more direct...
Congratulations Augeas on a compilation that would have pleased even Radix in the way it all hung together - theme, title, method of entry. The quotation we were directed to was intriguing and amusing...
The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...
Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...
I've searched bu apparently there is no Friday club for this very difficult offering by Sabre. I just got 17acr so I've finally finished. Phew! One of the hardest of the year, for sure. Thanks Sabre!...
The theme has had a lot of exposure recently, but that does not detract from this delightful treatment by Poat. All comes together in a most pleasing way....
