A few answer verification / parsings I would appreciate help with. 11 Across: What spaces left I filled with dry food (9) - Must be SPAGHETTI for food or dry food but not sure on the wordplay. 2 Down:...
It's DEFINITELY one of the easier weeks, so my score of FIVE probably isn't [i]that[i] impressive. I'm easily satisfied though, so I'll still swagger about a bit until you lot all say that you've...
Good morning everyone - not too bad here for the start of a long weekend, the nights are pretty cold but the days should be gorgeous - I'm not too sure about today, it's looking rather like rain !!...
A seem to be making my regular score one of 4 lately ('cos that's what I've got yet again this week) which, I suppose, is a bit better than the 3 I seemed to get week after week at the start of the...
I've posted this before (several years ago) but I reckon that it's worth another outing anyway. Here's CaféTacvba with 'Esta Vez', which starts quietly but builds to a mighty climax. I hope that the...
Here are the wonderful 2Cellos, giving an encore at a concert (in front of 50,000 adoring fans) in Zagreb last year. They initially toy with their audience by responding to shouts of "More!" by...

Piggynose has already reported a magnificent (and maximum) score of 7 elsewhere, so I'll start off with a "BRILLIANT!" for Piggnynose! My own score is a far more modest (and middling) 4 though. [I'm...
For the small group of ABers who're mad enough to enjoy tackling my crosswords, here's the latest one: As usual, it's non-cryptic and very loosely based upon The Times 2 Jumbo Crossword that's...
I think that it's nice and easy this week. (It must be surely? How else could I have scored a mighty SIX?). However I note that Gromit has tried to hide his lowly score of 2 away on a different...

Good morning everyone - from a very wintery South Oz, where the last few days have been quite bleak, very wet and very windy ....we've had the wettest April for over 20 years !! The links look far...
