Reddevil – my point should be taken as neither pro or anti royalist, in breeding, and associated genetic disorders, in European royal families is an historical fact.

As an Irishman once said to me in a Dublin pub that was showing the Eurovision Song Contest “it’s absolute rubbish – but it’s good fun to watch!”.

PS don’t see why anyone would feel the need to express their opinion on the royal family (positive or negative) in a crossword blog.

But obviously I enjoyed the puzzle! (turning into RCWhiting here – oops!)

Same as flashling. I despise the Eurovision so the very fact I got the acts from the past left a bad taste in my conscience… to mix my metaphors.

I also agree that the level is to extreme.

Wot no Humpers? Sadly for me the theme fell to easily, and despite myself knew all the thematics, congratulations you say, felt more like humiliations rather than commiserations. Not Nul points though by any stretch but I hoped for something more than a pint’s worth.

Indy Saturdays seem to swing between easy/trivial and impossible without aids, with no intermediaries, but perhaps that’s just the solving stage I’m at.

Thanks Twencelas and Scorpion (Btw I do like themed crosswords – keep it up)
