Hello everyone, I had a sinking feeling when I did the first pass through the clues looking for gifts! I found the clues hard, but fair in retrospect. Hopefully someone will confirm the answer lengths...

EV 1017 Epilogue by Oxymoron

EV 1016: Sentry Duties by MynoT

Hello EV N&Cers Started off by entering the answers to what I thought were quite easy clues, and ended up with an awful lot of clashes! Then the brain sort of marched into action. It became...

EV 1014 Two of a kind

Well it's done but not one of my favourites (although the theme is!) - I thought the seven were somewhat less than thematic.

EV 1013

Good fun and a clever grid - I have sorted the 10 letter one but the 11 letter one seems to have 3 possibilities for the highlighting none of which seems to me to be "roughly appropriate"

Hello N&Cers, took a long time for the PDM on this one, but well worth the wait, I thought. A very nice twist to the 12 clues. Thanks for the workout, Nudd.

EV 1011: Title by Piccadilly

I normally don't like this type of EV, where the lights and clues are not numbered, but the cluing was straightforward and grid entry similar. Except that the clue, "Cat, excited, close to...

EV 1008

An interesting puzzle, good not to be looking for misprints for a change. I thought the bit in the preamble about alphabetical order served to confuse things rather than help.
