I am glad there was no dilemmas here (which was the case for me in "A New Year Message" 2008). As with all of the year's listeners so far, the grid was fairly easy easy to fill, but the...
This week's offering is "The Glady Marsh" by Salamanca. This is only the second Salamanca Listener that I have seen that is not part of his Plays of the Bard series. Another fairly fast grid...
This week's offering is "364 263 by Xanthippe" A straightforward grid fill which now leaves me with the problem of following the instructions, whilst not being an owner of the required...
A very happy Christmas - where are you all? This was an exciting grid fill with lots of alcohol and Christmas goodies and I am delighted, though reeling and rather bemused, about what we are required...
This week's offering is Metrical Variations by Hedge-sparrow. A typical offering such as we have come to expect from this setter. Some gentle clue and a nice theme. Sadly the final step took me longer...
No - i haven't finished it, so get up off the floor. I just wondered what people approaching it thought of the bit in the preamble "so solvers must deduce how many complete cells each answer...
Oh boy, just seen where this one is going. Very nearly finished, but I reckon there's going to be a fair bit of drawing to do, which can wait until tomorrow! Enjoyable diversion, without being too...
This week's offering is Whirly-Birly by Sabre. After a run of fairly straightforward puzzles, we have what at first glance looks like a typical Sabre offering - not an "unch" in sight. So,...
Where is everybody? Or are you finding the wordplay as difficult as I did. This was a nice, easy grid fill and the alternatives and associatives were fun, but oh dear, did I struggle with the endgame!...
A fairly typical Waterloo offering with a mix of simple, difficult and amusing clues. The problem is not so much in solving them, but getting the grid entry correct. Another one I think that would be...
What a pleasure to have a straightforward puzzle that we could manage. This one was a pleasure from start to finish and great for us relative newcomers. I am glad there is one like this now and then -...
The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly
"Pleasant" debut by Parsnip and great for newcomers to the Listener world. One of the easiest of the year so far with several anagrams to get started. [email protected] if you...
With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...
I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...
