Another gentle grid fill to start off the year. We have just had the pdm and are happily checking the endgame in Brewer. Thank you, Colleague!

A Happy New Year to all. What a pleasant and gentle start to the year! The theme appeared early and we have thoroughly enjoyed this. We haven't quite finished but progress is regular and speedy.

A very entertaining puzzle which I couldn't put down: a nicely cryptic preamble, some tricky (but fair) clues, an excellent grid and an endgame which had me beaming. The general theme became apparent...

What a masterful construction by Lavatch...This could be the puzzle of the year. I found the clues to be highly challenging; figuring out the quotation and author certainly helped with the final third...

As is frequently the case with Mr E, I find myself with a full grid, I think that I have my "dodgy" letters and I need a break. The sherry decanter is beckoning and at the moment, the rest of the...

I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.

What a cracker Artix! The Friday club is very quiet and that is no surprise as this was a massive challenge but what a masterly compilation. Brilliant, thanks (and sorry, AB friends - I hope I have...

I found this to be a nice challenge with a very satisfying final step. I found the clues to be tough but fair (except I felt 19:33d was subpar). Well done, Ferret.

Well no one seems to have noticed it was going to be a numerical. And i see that someone by the name of "Zabadak" has already commented on the Crossword Club site in a somewhat Z-Cup winning...

Have grasped the theme but the clues seem to be extremely opaque this week (apart from the easy ones) - is anyone faring better?

Sorry for all those that replied to the last thread, but here is another The crux of this one is not to get flustered with all those letters as I did, but it does work out in the end...

Great fun. Not overly complex clues, so grid (sort of) filled quite quickly. PDM for endgame likewise followed apace, and then needed some careful thought to justify all ten modifications, producing...

Best of luck with this one, everybody. I nearly quit with it being a carte blanche (sort of - at least we have word lengths) with indeterminate numbers of letters to be removed from clues, clashing...

I can't believe I'm the the first to post this week, so will someone tell me where I can find the real thread. Anyway, very enjoyable, and a subject that I have always enjoyed. Thanks Rasputin.
