Listener No 4347 Pairs By Elap

Fairly easy entry to the puzzle, but took me a while to see the final step. Thanks Elap....

Listener No. 4345: Essentials By Samuel

The length of the preamble was a bit off-putting, but taking my courage in both hands and plunging in showed enough fairly straightforward clues to be able to get started. The last step was a bit...

Listener No4341 What's On By Nod

This has produced a giggle but it was a tough solve until the message appeared and we are going to have to be very careful with our checking of our final grid. What an amusing and original idea. Many...

Listener 4336: Company Liquidation By Kruger

Short preamble but a lot going on. Nice to have an unambiguous finish too! Thanks Kruger....

Listener No 4335 The Old Swan By Jago

Thank you Jago for a gentle romp. A fine curtain raiser for the Listener setters' dinner.

Listener 4333 - Discussion And Appreciation

Listener No. 4333 - In the Event of Fire by Flying Tortoise This thread is for the traditional 'elliptical' discussion, comments and thanks to the setter. If you want to participate in a more direct...

Listener Crossword No 4332 Two's Company By Augeas

A lucky stumble upon the person's name (maybe triggered by something hidden dark in the grey cells) speeded up what might have become a slog. Neat thematic treatment and quite a feat to construct the...

Listener 4330: Following The Brief By External

A pleasing puzzle with a neatly worded preamble. It's always pleasing to learn something along the way, so many thanks to eXternal. But we're still waiting for the first tough challenge of the year....

Listener No 4329 Hedge-Sparrow

How very appropriate and what fun. Many thanks, Hedge-sparrow!

Listener 4328: Reductio Ad Absurdum By Stick Insect

The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...

Listener 4325, Christmas Break By Poat

The theme has had a lot of exposure recently, but that does not detract from this delightful treatment by Poat. All comes together in a most pleasing way....

Listener 4320: Shrive By Llig

What my old maths master would have described as "one for the rabbits", but enjoyable nevertheless. Thanks, Llig....

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

Listener Crossword 4307 - Spiral Of Salami And Walnuts By Wan

What a delight, on another theme about which I was previously ignorant. Would have been much tougher without the generosity of the setter. Particularly liked 33 down. Thanks Wan....

Listener 4306: Hosta La Vista By Dipper

All done, unless there are alternative (and possibly more interesting) meanings to the fourth and third last words of the instruction.

Listener 4305: Not A Blocked Grid By Lavatch

Another excellent construction. The top right corner held me up for a while, but once the penny dropped I could sit back and admire Lavatch's skill -- many thanks....

Listener 4304 Ozzie Warning

We just had our penny drop moment and, with an almost full grid, have to make sure that we enter the correct bars - quite a task, and quite a feat, Ozzie, thanks. This has been most enjoyable.

Listener 4303: Qvwke Vbcfa By Nutmeg

Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...

Listener 4302: When All Else Fails By Ottorino

Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...
