just realised 4d is core so now do not know what 9a is (I had managing - can anyone put me right please?)

12a unruly lout receives a first warning - then ban 6 letters o_t_a_


also 8d is it diseaseD or diseaseS

thank you for your patience

[baitress]

12a outl a w.
8d would depend on how the clue is worded.
what is the clue for 9a?

[bibblebub]

9a managers (compiler's had a bit of a wobbly today it seems)

Lots of mistakes in this crossword this week - Coping = MANAGERS ??????

A in mangers ....surely copers

22d Capital article on poles A THE NS - surely articleS?

2d should be near TO disaster

[hideaway]

thank you all so much (anyone got an ink rubber!)

Why not join the Times Crossword Club ?

Then you can print out as many copies as you want AND enter on line ...saving the cost and unreliability of the post.

Possibly because (a) a copy of the newspaper doesn't come with your membership and (b) if this is the standard on offer, it's not worth the money. There have been several instances of this recently with the ST cryptic. It's appalling that it appears to go unedited and unchecked.

Yes... but

The membership is just £25 a year. For that you get access to The Saturday Crossword, The Sunday Crossword , the TLS Crossword, both Jumbo Crosswords and the Club Monthly worth £100.

All of the above can be entered online, as I say saving money and effort.

Or... Buy a pencil! ( and maybe a Daily Mail subscription).
