Surely not! Me starting a thread on a NUMERICAL. What fun to have a numerical with an endgame. Of course, we can't thank Ruslan but this was nowhere near as tedious and horrible as numericals usually...
With seemingly no-one yet posting I thought I would have some fun as I have not started a thread before. Some clues a lot trickier than recent weeks given the varying clue options etc., I'm only about...
A Happy New Year to all. What a pleasant and gentle start to the year! The theme appeared early and we have thoroughly enjoyed this. We haven't quite finished but progress is regular and speedy.
A very entertaining puzzle which I couldn't put down: a nicely cryptic preamble, some tricky (but fair) clues, an excellent grid and an endgame which had me beaming. The general theme became apparent...
What a masterful construction by Lavatch...This could be the puzzle of the year. I found the clues to be highly challenging; figuring out the quotation and author certainly helped with the final third...
Have finished the puzzle, but the end game is a mystery, so any help with what to do next would be much appreciated. My 6 extra words (if I've done it right) are Join country's letters showing flag...

This must be our fastest solve ever but what a pleasure to have a straight-forward crossword by an accomplished setter (who is the B crossword in this month's Magpie too - Magpie plug). The theme is...
I am not sure of the necessity here to clue this with a semi carte blanche/jigsaw style. It seems to be included only to make the puzzle harder. However the clues were very easy given the alpahbetical...
I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.
What a cracker Artix! The Friday club is very quiet and that is no surprise as this was a massive challenge but what a masterly compilation. Brilliant, thanks (and sorry, AB friends - I hope I have...
An excellent puzzle. Although I had the grid filled fairly quickly it took quite a while before I made any sense of the preamble.
A delight - thanks Shark....
This must be our quickest solve ever! What a delightful little compilation by KevGar. We tumbled to the theme with the first solution and have enjoyed it thoroughtly so far. Gentle, indeed after some...
Straightforward puzzle with no real difficuties. I know I'm a pedant but I make it that 15 answers produce new words however I have made mistakes with my addition before. Not too much of a...
