I am going to be away in New York until September. Of course I will post the Speccie puzzle (at about 1pm GMT) but I'll bet others will get there before me.

Enjoy your trip mintyman - you shouldn't be 'parky' at this time of year!

Thanks MM - enjoy NY.
Hope Ironie is up and about early in MM's absence or it will be a late start for all of us!

Yes, Roslyn, I'll try and be up early the next couple of Thursdays, but then I'll be sans net for most of August, I'm afraid.

[roslyn251254]

Ironie - are you a subscriber than or do you buy the mag each week?
How much for either?

[bearboy]

"N" or "G" for the 6th letter of 9d? - neither really means with interruption?? Or have I gone wrong? & how does 34a work - bays is the defn, c(confederacy), but members??
Thanks for any explanations

[Ironie]

Roslyn - I live in Berlin, so of course I'm a subscriber. Works out at about £2.40 a copy compared to the newsagent's price of currently £3.20.

[roslyn251254]

Thanks ironie -didn't realise you were in Berlin

[roslyn251254]

9d bass is a synonym of continuo

[djawhufc]

Re 34a- creeks is also a word for a confederation of native american tribes

Many thanks for link

[Ironie]

Regarding the wording of the clue for 9 down, I mailed Doc and he confirmed what we no doubt had all assumed, i.e. that 'with' is a misprint for 'without' - in case anyone should still be wondering.

Very belatedly many thanks for the link and enjoy your trip to the Big Apple.
