What a nicely clued and thematically amusing start to the year. We laughed at the phrase. Many thanks to Kruger. A Happy New Year to all our fellow AB threaders.
I'm surprised that there isn't a thread up for this yet. (Apologies if there is one) I started on it this afternoon, having only returned to the UK this morning. Just a couple of loose ends to tie up,...
A very entertaining and well-constructed puzzle. Hard to believe how much the setter fit into such a small space. One minor quibble. The thematic subject of the puzzle, as described by its Wikipedia...
A pleasant unity to the whole puzzle. Clues were not too challenging, but there was plenty in the end-game to keep the interest up. Many thanks, Poat....
I did enjoy the way the thematic material all slotted together, however I think the obscurity of some of the geographical references was pushing the boundaries of fair play rather. Thanks Salamanca....
Apologies if there is another thread.
Nothing for the "numberphobes" to be scared of. Logical with only a bit of Excel at the start and some spadework at the end.
Enjoyable - thanks Kea....
Anything I say will set off yet another argument about easy and hard Listeners, so I'll leave it at thanking Piccadilly for a brief spell of entertainment....
Well I suppose it's possible that I've gone a little wrong somewhere (made a couple of mistakes in counting in the across clues first time round, for instance), although I don't think that the...
I have been trying to find out the title and singers of a song for many years. Posting the few lyrics that I know on various sites has never given me an answer. I have now found a clip on youtube...
my breadmaker does not have a cake baking setting which setting should i put it on to bake it (theres is a simple 'bake' setting, that is basically an oven, but i want it to do the mixing etc too) the...
What constitutes atheist faith?A belief that the universe came from nothing without a cause?A belief that inert chemicals suddenly sprang into life?Any others ?...
Does anyone know the song that plays in this vine?: https://vine.co/v/eYgLBTnY65F
It's really catchy, but I can't figure out what the lyrics to the song are....
I am surprised that there seem to be no other posts, as I am usually quite slow at solving. Anyway, an enjoyable workout from Yorick, although one that required a lot of careful cross-checking.
The grid fill was not as hard as I had expected, as spotting the treatment of the holes was a great help. I'm sure I'll have mucked up the last step, however, as i'm in the "good walk ruined" camp....
The preamble was enough for an early PDM, although I've not actually played the game properly before. Then it was a relatively speedy gridfill before I nervously attempted the endgame, dreading the...
An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.
