AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Mr O...............I just knew it was going to be before I opened the paper, oh woe! I am heading straight into DC to hang some black-out curtains, dust...
'THREE GRACES' by Rustic. My third EV (a newbie). Looks - for me - rather solvable as I now own the aides required! I assume my 2nd edition of ODQ has the required answer(s). Good luck to all! and God...
I thought this was one of the easier puzzles, and, as no one has started a thread I wanted to offer my congratulations to MLN;Rugby for his success with EV 905. He is a stalwart of this site and...
Evening all. The toughest for a while, I thought. And might there be an error in 3dn ? The wordplay suggests an S as the third letter, while the grid seems to require a T. I'd be delighted to be shown...
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, If my memory serves me well, this theme appeared in The Speccie not too long ago, so the training was useful. The second, but unrelated theme added weight to the...
The answer fell out very quickly this week, particularly the theme from the down clues. I am turning my hand to The Listener for the first time, but it seems to be all numbers, not quite what I was...
I have followed the weekly thread about the Enigmatic Variations crossword and thought I would give it a go today. Although it has taken me all morning, I have completed it, and wonder how it rates in...

Allow me to start the thread this week, as I believe DocHH said he'd be, um, off-piste till Wednesday. (No word if he's pist.... - never mind.) A well-constructed puzzle as always, but the payoff did...
Is there anybody there? A very Happy New Year to all N & C'ers. Just wondered how everyone was, haven't looked at it yet, too busy catching up after 3 nights away! Presume all the CC's have got it...
Help! SOS! Mayday, Mayday! To all EV N & C'ers. Only half a paper in my papershop today and the bit that is missing is LIFE, hence no EV. Can anyone supply on of those clever link things (as I'm...
Help! SOS! Mayday, Mayday! To all EV N & C'ers. Not a single Life section to be found in our paper shop today, therefore no EV...................here I am poised after the deprivations of last...
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, I was mortified when I read the rubric! A non-English quotation, plus my newly acquired 7th edition 0f ODQ not cited as containing it! Imagine my relief when I...
