Yes, enjoyed it, I liked BISTRO as a clue, lots going on and satisfying to get. I think your ‘line’ is under the wrong part of the clue in 14a, by the way. Everyone’s a critic, eh…?!

P.S. As I pointed out last week, it might be worth correcting the answer in last week’s blog to 4d from ASIDE to ARISE, just for posterity.

I think that I found this one a bit harder than usual. I don’t think I know UNDER THE TABLE meaning drunk.

Thanks PeterO. I wondered this morning how I had managed to parse GAUNT from: ‘Thin daughter did without,’ but then realised it was the wrong clue!

I particularly liked YEARN and BISTRO; thanks Everyman for an entertaining puzzle.

Thanks Peter,

Another very entertaining puzzle from Everyman with the usual range of clues. I particularly liked SPRAWL (excellent surface) REGISTRAR (straying into Paul’s territory here), BISTRO and FORTUNE COOKIE. Thanks Everyman.

Thanks, Peter.

Indeed, a typical Everyman – no bells and whistles, but some lovely surfaces with a good variety of clues (and an old film …) Had never heard of KIPPS, but confirmed it online. Didn’t have a particular favourite today; it was a good all-round puzzle.
