Does any one know if there is supposed to be an EV today ???

The ST website still has "The Square and Compass" from last week and carries a message that there will not be one on the 28th.

Cannot recall seeing any messages about today though.

Many thanks if you can help

Yes, it's in the hard copy edition. Its called Crackers
It's not been released on the website yet apparently -- seem to remember one or two recently being similarly slightly late to be uploaded.
It's now up online, although you need to be on the EV sub-board, ie click through to:

http://puzzles.telegraph.co.uk/site/crossword_puzzles_enigmatic_variations

and it should be there.

Many thanks all - I felt I was beginning to lose my sanity without my Enigma challenge ;-) ;-) ;-)

But also I have just noticed that the web site actually says there will not be one on the 28th December ---- 2008 !!!! I think there must have been too much rum in the punch at the Telegraph office party.
Thanks, Jim306. Perhaps, given the normal standard of cracker jokes, they were ashamed to post it!
jim360, even -- sorry.
Good Afternoon All. Still haven't finished 1153 yet but have enjoyed this one nice run up to Christmas, not one on 28th......................not good! Any compilers handy? Can we kidnap the EV Ed and threaten him until he produces one?
Very best wishes to all EV'ers have a good time.
The message about there being no EV on the 28/12/08 has been around for ages and is perhaps worth moving at some point. Say, five years ago. But never mind.

Today's EV is hopefully entertaining rather than difficult. Set by "Charismatix" but the style of grid is clearly Samuel's from his "jokey puzzle" series.
Oh dear, comes of not reading things thoroughly, thanks for the smack Jim360!
Definitely an enjoyable solve, despite the cringe-worthy "crackers"! Seasons Greetings to EV solvers everywhere.
Solving those awful cracker gags first got me off to a flying start
That was fun! going to watch telly now.
Possibly sone sherry too.
I groaned at some of the clues but overall it was good fun.

Greetings to all EVers
That's the point isn't it Kayakamina - we have to groan or the cracker joke has been too subtle.
Can anyone explain the woedplay on 2 down for me?
