Its a Vlad, so I'm not going to waste brain cycles on trying to parse his clues! I'll ask here instead! So I've jammed in words that fit and have the feeling that most of them are correct, which is...
Not too bad this week. Last two are in, just can't parse them. 4d Brief party outside the Church houses (7) LACONIC = Brief .... and then ...? 14a Over-the-top material fellow observed by playing...
15a Greek character goes by bike — you say this must be changed (8) Last one. I have M?T?N?U? so all I can fit in there is MUTINOUS. MU, greek character, I suppose ... and then? Was lucky enough to...
Final two I put in. I can kinda, sorta half-see the parsing, but I'm not happy about it. Can someone clarify ... 26 Blarney Stone finally located next to trees (7) E_E_A H Guess it must be EYELASH,...
Paul is being obscure again this week. Having trouble parsing a few of the longer clues, which I'm reasonably certain are correct. But then the nagging doubt is preventing me from going forward ......
Okey dokey. Its that time of day when I've got a couple of clues left, and I need to move on instead of scouring the internet for help. So I've got ... 2d Against taking game bird on Caribbean island...
One left. Everybody in Hackney perhaps needs to instruct youth about love (9) I have _O_C_L_A_ I'm not entirely sure about the L, which comes from Hot water off the south coast, after temperature...
Not too difficult today! Have one left though Hook perhaps scratching head, incandescent (5) I_A_E Pretty sure the letters are correct. I can think of three words which go in, but none seem to make...
Haven't enjoyed this one much. The weird way in which 4 of the unthemed clues were given the wrong letter count (but 3 of them weren't!) slowed me down for a while. Anyway, a few left in the middle...
Stuffed the words, kicking and screaming into the grid. Have no idea (as usual) about the parsing of some. Any lightbulbs out there? Erect using poles etc, obvious long parts (5,1,4) PITCH A TENT. But...
Last two to go in and I can't see them: 22a, 3d One bound to impress seller, if all goes well (2,2,5) I have ?T / ?S / ?O?E? Something to do with ROSES? 25a China from Japan, an inevitability while...
Back again. Top of the crossword positively flew in. Then I ground to a halt in the bottom right. I brute-forced a few answers in that seemed right. One remaining clue which has me puzzled, and a few...
Well I filled it all in, but really struggling to parse a lot of clues, which I find to be an unsatisfactory conclusion to the crossword. Any lightbulbs out there? ACROSS 9 Primarily Best Mate wins...
Ah Enigmatist, we meet again. And once again you've put me in a bad mood. Having spent an hour jamming words into the grid based on what fitted, rather than understanding any clues (well OK, a couple...
Three left. Just staring at them now, so I thought I'd ask in here to put me out of my misery. 22a Where you might be putting healthy food (6) I have I_E_ _ _ . Icebox? Why? 22d. Faces of great,...
Not enjoying this one much. Some unsatisfying answers which fit, but I don't know why! Help appreciated with these ... 24. The 14 man with no piano, instead getting drunk (7) _H_L_E_ ... got all the...
Last one. Can't figure out the wordplay. 19 Will's offensive sexual organ intruded (9) - e - t - m - n - Figure it must be testimony or testament, but can't figure out why. In fact there were a couple...
