Ev 1142 Opening Shot By Chalicea

An enjoyable solve. Squeezed this one in, between the quiet moments this morning. Everyone has the dreaded cold, so other half stayed in bed. Both children up at 6.00, both having wet their beds. Lots...

Listener 4313: Weak Force By Tut

Quite a straightforward offering from Tut, with an easy endgame. Fun, though, and a subject I am fond of....

Listener 4312: Elementary Deduction By Rood

After a day when my mind has been destroyed by builders, a pick through a water pipe, and trying to find a plumber at 4pm on a Friday, I little thought I'd be the first to check in. A very fair and...

Listener 4311 - Carte Blanche By Chalicea

This is an excellent example of a carte blanche puzzle; thanks Chalicea! However, I think there are eight thematic clues, not seven......

Listener 4310: Net Book Agreement By Charybdis

Oh dear ... another puzzle with straightforward clues. The endgame was more interesting, however. We must have a stinker coming up....

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

Listener Crossword No 4308 Sub-Prime More-Guess Relief By Ruslan

A fairly easy solve in contrast to the rather complicated preamble. I haven't tried to work out the title yet! Farewell Ruslan - you will be missed....

Listener Crossword 4307 - Spiral Of Salami And Walnuts By Wan

What a delight, on another theme about which I was previously ignorant. Would have been much tougher without the generosity of the setter. Particularly liked 33 down. Thanks Wan....

Listener 4305: Not A Blocked Grid By Lavatch

Another excellent construction. The top right corner held me up for a while, but once the penny dropped I could sit back and admire Lavatch's skill -- many thanks....

Listener 4304 Ozzie Warning

We just had our penny drop moment and, with an almost full grid, have to make sure that we enter the correct bars - quite a task, and quite a feat, Ozzie, thanks. This has been most enjoyable.

Listener 4303: Qvwke Vbcfa By Nutmeg

Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...

Listener 4302: When All Else Fails By Ottorino

Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...

Listener 4300: 22 Across By Calmac

I suppose it had to come -- I mean both the theme and an easy one after a few gems. I am sure there could have been something more exciting by way of an end-game, but thanks anyway, Calmac....

Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...

Listener 4298 Safari By Nibor

A very gentle but amusing romp through territory that was fortunately familiar to me. Liked the alternate letter device. Many thanks to a veteran setter, I believe. Leaves us all plenty of time to...

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1127 - Nightmare By Eclogue

Two setters, if memory serves, which explains the preamble "have had"! I found this rather complicated by having heard neither of the unclued 6dn (at least, not in this context) nor of the fitting...
