That was a 10/10 Thursday for me. Just hard enough, clever theme that I enjoyed and no googling any weird sports abbreviations. Loved it!
@Edward Rice The sheer level of pedantry in this comment made me chuckle. Who cares mate, it was a funny clue and it worked!
@Eddie The ‘gimmicks’ are what can make a good crossword a great crossword in my opinion :) The olympic one a few day ago was by far the best one I’ve ever seen, you should try that one!
Yeah as others already have said. I came here to say I really dislike the ‘Octopi’ and ‘Isle of Man’ clues for the same reasons. On the other hand I want to say I really loved today’s crossword otherwise! No sports / celebrity trivia! Perfect for a nerd like me. More like this please!
@Sue That was amazing! I never heard of Allen Sherman before but this song was hilarious. Thank you!
@Michael OMG thank you! My thoughts exactly!!
@Man and 2 dogs I see. So what’s wrong with ridgy? I found it in the dictionary so it must be a real word. It is not often used then, I assume?
@Sonja Indeed. I came here to say this
@shelly I disagree. I believe foie gras is often made from duck and it tastes fantastic.
@Shrike Are the answers inelegant or were the clues just a bit clumsy? Don’t you think with different clues they may have been a bit more satisfying?
