I don’t think I’ve encountered many Aardvarks before in my Thursday slot; in any event, there was nothing here to drive me to echo Edmund Blackadder’s furious exclamation: “If I ever meet an aardvark, I’m going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn’t suck up an insect if its life depended on it.” A decent puzzle.

This was an interesting puzzle, thanks Paul. It was challenging and hard to get into because the gateway clue to the theme, was tricky – complex wordplay and an unusual definition.

At the risk (cf yesterday’s blog) of horrifying (again) Eileen (palms to cheeks, “Who are these newcomers with their new-fangled ideas?”), the picture set at the bottom has an unidentified link to the crossword. But seriously….
