FT 13,148/Phssthpok
Posted by smiffy on 6th August 2009
Another solid outing from The Unpronounceable One, but he’s certainly produced better in the past. There were a few points along the way where I had an uncanny sense of deja vu, although 3D and 6D are the only two clues that I can definitely recall encountering before.

Guardian 24,771 / Orlando
Posted by Eileen on 6th August 2009
My heart sank somewhat, initially, when I saw a preamble to an Orlando, who can usually be relied on to be straightforward, but soon all became clear as the names of the 60′s avenging angels appeared down the sides of the puzzle. There was nothing too taxing in the clues – just one I’m not sure of but I know help is on its way!
[7dn reminded me of one of my favourite 'Yorkshire' jokes: when asked by a visitor why Dent station [the highest mainline station in England] was some four miles from the village of Dent [which is in Cumbria but in the Yorkshire Dales National Park] a local replied, ‘Happen they wanted it near the railway’.]
