I'm surprised to find I'm starting the thread as this particular puzzle was pretty straightforward after a few tricky ones. I thought last week's wouldn't have shamed The Listener. No real surprises...
Everyone must be away on their hols or just enjoying a lazy Sunday. A pretty straightforward grid fill, and once I'd decided that SMIR was not relevant other than the placing of unchecked letters, an...
While walking this morning near the village pond I heard one of the new little ducklings making a regular throat noise which sound like hiccups. I watched for some time and the noises were about every...
How do I send a message which has been saved as a draft? The send box is not shown and the send/receive box only activates incoming mail. I've no doubt it is very simple but not for this technophobe!...

A message from Tim Moorey for The Week solvers- ''The arguably cruel staff at The Week evidently decided that my Christmas Crossword was too easy as they have omitted italics from 28 Down. Please...
I can't find any thread and assume everyone has been on their travels as I have
with this EV.
