Not often I'm first to post. I thought this was great fun and very original. Not the hardest thanks to some generous hints. I predict some grumbling but for me it was perfectly fair with an... ...
Fray Bentos . impossible to open? I have been trying to open a tin of Fray Bentos steak and onion. My trusty tin openers have been used. They manage to open everything else but Fray Bentos it just...
Well, I've had a completed grid since early this morning. I have a final grid which seems to fit the bill which I will submit; however, how the sequence is used is beyond me, despite the unhelpful...
Nice implementation of an entry method that I'm sure I've seen several times before? Some interesting vocabulary, but nothing too abstruse to deter a first-time solver. Thanks Ares - a pleasant couple...
That was good fun. I have to admit that I used the extra words to deduce the first six relevant entries, and only then sat down to work out what the husband and wife had been up to. I suppose it might...
Thanks, Emu, for a well-constructed homage a great work of art. Not among the more difficult Listeners, but that does not detract from its excellence. I assume the ambiguity of one of the abbreviated...
Quite an appropriate puzzle given the weather we have been having this week ! Relieved that it didn't take too long to crack as we have the pleasure of another Schadenfreude puzzle to occupy us...
That was a lot of fun. It took me longer than it should have to spot what was going on in the Group B clues, even though I had seen what the instruction told me to do elsewhere. Many thanks, Harpy,...
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.
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....
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....
I'm still a bit uncertain of the misprint for the fifth letter of the name, but have no qualms about the rest. Some nice clues, and a satisfactory endgame. Many thanks, Colleague. Now back to tracing...
I’ve always wondered what the tiny animated thing is you see from time to time in the corner of a TV screen. A typical one (I think there are others) is black and white stripes/blocks moving from...
A lovely construction, with fairly straightforward clues. I hadn't come across the verse, and have only been able to locate the vital couplet -- if the rest of it is available I hope somebody will...
No one has solved this yet?? It's Friday afternoon in California, so after midnight in the UK. I'm in a strange position. Solved grid. I know the quotation, its source and the corresponding key. No...
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...
