KATZENJAMMER or GUEULE DE BOIS – A hangover in any language from this alcoholic puzzle with drinks
from many lands. At least it ended with a coffee! Only 20A was a new word for me and there were no bones of contention as far as I could see.

Into the New Year that should see No 1000 in this series. Solving time, 17 mins, if I have solved it – some doubts that I’ll know for sure about only when solution appears next Sunday. (Many thanks to Andrew and Quixote himself below for explaining the clues I did not understand)

A surprisingly easy puzzle for a Thursday, which I don’t think should have posed people any particular problems. (Although I created some for myself by writing TIGERCATS into the grid instead of STRATEGIC 
)

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of December 30
Here we have a typical, charming puzzle from Cincinnus. I especially like 25A and 1D.
