A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...

Some think, instead of some thing, It does my head in. It reminds me of a quote from My Fair Lady. Professor Higgins said " Why can't the English teach their children how to speak " When I was young...
Very well crafted grid with some devilish elements. Clues not too difficult but quite a lot of cold solving required before one can start hazarding any sort of gridfill. Much enjoyed the PDM after...
I'll try and keep this brief but just need to let off steam more than anything. I had my 7 year old niece over to stay last weekend. I picked up her easter sunday lunchtime and we all went out for a...
I have noticed this seems to be used a lot lately especially on television when someone is being asked a question they begin the answer with so......blah blah blah
I usually hate playfairs, so what a joy to have this one with a difference. Thank you so much Mordred (for a nice easy solve, too, that will be perfect to welcome newcomers). Great fun!

Good grief, I can't believe I'm starting this thread off! I thought this was an excellent puzzle by Wan. Very clever how the clues read on the surface and still produce real words after the...
What a long preamble, but what a fun puzzle. It took me a few minutes to get what the down message was telling me, but the P D'd, all was clear. Thanks hedge-sparrow.
With seemingly no-one yet posting I thought I would have some fun as I have not started a thread before. Some clues a lot trickier than recent weeks given the varying clue options etc., I'm only about...
A Happy New Year to all. What a pleasant and gentle start to the year! The theme appeared early and we have thoroughly enjoyed this. We haven't quite finished but progress is regular and speedy.
Well no one seems to have noticed it was going to be a numerical. And i see that someone by the name of "Zabadak" has already commented on the Crossword Club site in a somewhat Z-Cup winning...
Now that really WAS easy, though I had to work fast as I'm off out to watch England/Sweden in the company of some Spurs. Once the first of the unclued answers drops, the rest follow without too much...
