Interesting theme and a clever construction to get the clashes to come out as they did. Confirming the 6th place took a while!
It's snowing today! What the heck? It was 75 degrees yesterday....
I thought this weeks was quite difficult but a bit unsatisfactory because I got most of the thematic entries before working out the answers to the thematic clues. Can someone please explain why the...
Last one (letter!) - should be a normal clue. I think I'm missing the blindingly obvious. 26ac. He deplores person with cerebral disability being housed in the centre of Palermo. (5) LA?ER Can sort of...
I can't stand Marmite, but this was
definitely to my taste. Without giving anything
away, you don't have to tie up all the PDs
but it's great fun doing so; some are very ingenious
and amusing....
I have never seen - let alone attempted - a Printer's Devil crossword before. I've managed to complete over half of the grid, I have the answer to 6 Down, a general idea of the theme. As I am now...
did anyone else find today's Inquisitor rather unsatisfactory? I finished it well before I managed to work out what I think the quotation is and have still not got several of Nudd's intended endings....
My last one and I just can't get it. 10 A. Grub up - German dish (4) rou? All I can see is 'roux', which is a sauce, I think, but it just doesn't seem right. The preamble says 'wordplay in the...
I've just about finished solving all the clues, but don't understand one of my answers. 10 A. Miles locating low bar before end of awful day (6) r?b?l? I came up with 'ribald' - but don't know if it's...
Last one. 17dn. Provides positions for Cinderella, maybe. (5)
?LIES
Looks like it could be PLIES (= provides) but I don't get the wordplay.
Any suggestions please?...
Stuck on 5ac. (For those who haven't seen it, there are two non-overlapping clues run together; answers have lengths 7 and 5 here) Snubbed mushy peas? Dine! One devoured tart is so low-cal! Think the...
Have only a few to get before I can tackle the theme.
36 D. Artist off leash (4) ??l?
37Poet's thoroughly trend (and foxy) (4) ??l?
Thanks for any assistance....
Stuck on one (that I know of); 7dn. Philatelic specimen shown by someone
in rented shop in London? (2,6)
S?T?N?N? (perhaps St Tenant, but why)
Any suggestions, much appreciated....
1ac Politician, dead keen, fighting to banish right wing party (5,8) D?V?D?I?I?A?D Looks like it could be DAVID MILIBAND -- DAVID is clear, but can't quite pin down MILIBAND (band=party) any...
