Listener 4147 OZ and WR by Theod

Having seen that this has a Playcode code, I was intending to put it to one side. Having failed at that, I now find myself within an ace of finishing. Much easier than I expected, but I realise that...

Blog counter for distance travelled

My daughter is going on a bike holiday and wants to put a counter on her blog for how many miles she has travelled. Is there a widget for a counter that can be updated daily?

Listener 4141 : Trailblazers by Dysart

Grid fill is proceding quite quickly and smoothly, especially when compared to last week. However, I know that this will rapidly slow down as I know nothing about either the two adversaries or the...

Listener 4139: An Unsettled Spell by Nutmeg

I spent a long time staring at a grid with the source filled in and a knowledge of the letters that had slipped before I started cracking the clues. Having basically solved it in the reverse order I...

Listener 4115: Invisible Ink II by Sabre

Invisible Ink was back in 1995, before I started solving the listener, however I have solved a few of Sabre's puzzles, who often uses ciphers and this is no exception. The grid filling started off...

Blue Peter Pillowcase Bag

Many many years ago - about 25 - the presenter on Blue Peter showed how to make a pillowcase into a 2 compartment bag. You then sewed curtain rings around it, ran a cord through, and voila! a beach...

Listener 4089 Vive la Difference by Kevin

A very pleasant and enjoyable debut by Kevin. Some nice clues and a familiar theme which made me realise how quickly time passes. Possibly suitable for newcomers, but personally, I think that 32D is a...

I have a Canon MP190. As far as I can tell from the on-line manual, when I replace the printer cartridges, the machine should recognise they are new and the low ink warning lights should go out. It's...

Listener 4073: Quartet by MynoT
