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,...
Well, that's me scuppered! Not quite, am being very brave and counting furiously, however....... Many thanks to djw and all for the help on 1212, am almost there which is something of a miracle, much...
Hello EVers, Well that was a cerebral workout! Even solving the clues proved difficult. I find entering jumbled words awkward at the best of times, too jigsaw puzzle-ish, but this was even worse. I...
Hi mercedes enthusiasts. I'm trying to identify a mercedes I have been asked to work on. it is a c230 on an 'H' reg (1990). What I need to know is would it be a w201, w202 or anything else. I can't...
Good Evening N & Cer's I am hoping you can give me some very heavy hints on this very devious offering by Mr Ifor. I am totally discombobulated by it all, have managed a possible one of the across...
Anything I say will set off yet another argument about easy and hard Listeners, so I'll leave it at thanking Piccadilly for a brief spell of entertainment....
Is there a thread somewhere that I have overlooked? We have enjoyed Samuel's clues (of course) but needed the Internet to identify some of the solutions to the algebraic clues (even though it is a...
We are wondering where that lively crowd of EV threaders has disappeared to. I think that as setters and solvers we used to really enjoy this thread. Where are you all? Please come back. We are...
I am assuming that this is about some English football team. (The words 'goal scored by the XI' rule out cricket.) I may be wrong. I know nothing about football. I tried to search for names of English...
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...
A lovely construction, with fairly straightforward clues. I hadn't come across the verse, and have only been able to locate the vital couplet -- if the rest of it is available I hope somebody will...
Glanced at the preamble, instantly saw what the theme was going to be (lucky guess perhaps?), and thought I'd have a go at the grid fill. Didn't get all the extra letters but fairly sure I can see the...
All over rather too quickly for my liking, but I enjoyed the join-up-the-dots picture-forming. Clues perhaps a bit easy for this outlet. Anyhow, now plenty of time for tennis and/or sweltering in the...
A bit of false advertising on Augeas' part as he suggested this might appeal to me owing to my physics background. Disappointment over, I appreciated the sneaky clue order that once cracked allowed...
Hello all EVers, Again I really enjoyed this EV. Several new words to me had to be entered in the grid, but the clue-ing was more than fair, even 3ac. Didn't need the extra words that needed to be...
