Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 926 Sunday August 1st 2010

This week Loda has given us a splendid, jewel-like offering, in my view. It may be a cliche, but the theme is something which is truly "much loved": the very name raises a smile of recognition and appreciation, at least in the UK. Once the penny drops, completion will be very rapid for most, I would think. The sun is now over the yardarm, so time for some Pinot Noir.

As to the grape nectar for this evening I have been cutting back a bit of late but will open a bottle or two over the weekend. Tonight it'll be an Australian Pinot Grigio ; I'm looking forward to it.

Hello Speravi,
Early on I chanced on two of the members of the group, and when I saw the extra letters in 6,7,8, 15, 18, 20d, my suspicions were confirmed. I quite liked how the 17 of the squares were formed, and where they were too.
I've just poured a largish preprandial Glenlivet, might even be time for another!

Hello again Speravi,
Can I make a suggestion? When you start an EV thread, then use the EV XXX (plus title of EV) format as the title, please. This is how most EVers use the Search facility on AB. I've put a link to here onto AndrewG-S's thread, so we should pick up all the regulars. Of course, with the exception of Dr b, who is hiking in the wilderness and possibly wrassling with bears, and DevaDolly who is visiting relatives, Christiana is probably still battling with an overgrown garden, but may put in a late appearance as she did last week.

AndrewG-S,
you must be wetting yourself with laughter at that clue and even at at this weeks EV. A classic!
As for putting a link into a post, go onto the site whose link you want to include in your message, then "right click" anywhere in the address bar of your browser. You will get a "drop-down" menu, "left click" "copy". Start the message you want to be posting, right click, where you want to insert the link, (I normally hit "Enter" a couple of times to ensure it starts on a new line before right clicking) a "drop-down" menu appears, left click "paste", "et voilà, le chainon est là".

Zita, by 16.24 the sun has been over the yard arm at least 10 hours here on the South Coast, aka Costa geriatrica! Did you read recently that a regular intake of red wine is beneficial to ensuring longevity, I'm immortal!
Practise, AndrewG-S, it works elsewhere, eg if you are sending e-mails with links you wish to include!

A classic EV. Hugely enjoyable and of middling difficulty.
I'm in work mid afternoon so a snifter is out of the question, but I'm with you all in spirit - 'scuse the pun. Mrs bobbycollins once read somewhere that half a bottle of red wine was good for you, and therefore reasoned that a whole bottle must be REALLY good for you. That's my girl!!

I tried that Speravi, and it didn't find this thread, if it had I wouldn't have put a link on the thread AndrewG-S started. However just searching for 926 threw up both threads, including any threads with 926 in them, even if it was part of a telephone number. As you said, don't panic! Anyone determined enough to N&C with us will find us eventually!
I feel sorry for you, bobbycollins, working on a monday afternoon, phew! Those words brought me out in a sweat, I'd better have a cold beer and a lay down!
