Morning! (or should I say that in French?) This weeks listener is "Half a Dozen" by Nibor Tough one this week to fill the grid because the inserted letters are randomly placed. Liked it because it was...
This week's offering is "Overhead Reduction" by Schadenfreude. No mention of colouring, but apparently scissors, paper, adhesive and a straight edge will be required. Hmmmm !
Evening all. I hope you don't mind me setting the ball rolling this week. This week's puzzle is by Lavatch and has another hefty preamble. Good luck everyone...
Has anyone got the lyrics to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights with the CD or LP? I googled for the lyrics but I'm not sure if the first line given is correct, so I think that the lyrics supplied with the...
Hope nobody minds me starting this week's thread. Lengthy preambles aside I've made ok progress with this so far but still a lot to do. Some good clueing and the whole thing looks extremely...
Greetings to all. I was fortunate in having some free time this evening to enjoy this excellent offering from Elfman. Some excellent &lit clues here, I thought. When I recognised the verse, I had to...
Centrigram gives us this weeks listener with a very nice denouement (better than squaring the circle last year) Although the across anagrams makes it tougher than the clues actually are, there is a...

After last weeks colourful and interesting diversion (think my times tables are in much better fettle now!), thought I would start this weeks thread off, if I may. This certainly looks like an...
Maybe all our prominent members are resting after last week's exertions, so I'll kick off this week's thread. Haven't had more than a glance at it yet and am not too familiar with this setter.
Still no link, of course. But another that relies heavily on cold solving. And a lovely nod for the Classicists amongst us in the use of "boustrophedon". I suspect more such will...
Even though the weekly link for the listener has been taken away, I thought I would create a thread anyway. Llig gave us a fairly straightforward puzzle last year concerning Ralph Vaughan Williams,...
Look's like the new Listener website has closed the back door to obtaining the crossword. Perhaps we'll have to buy the paper instead. I can think of one of our "friends" who will be happy!!

Thought I would be exceptionally rude and post the link to the latest Listener that I have been waiting for all week!! This is my first year of attempting the Listener crosswords and have managed to...
