But I liked the idea of nervine “never working”!

A couple of new ones: gavage; facies.

I don’t think I like medical/legal expressions as solutions. Perhaps it’s because these professions have enough going for them as it is, without being given the edge in crosswords too.

Mine is also a Dell Inspiron 1525 but I would guess older than yours.
I have just done a test run and managed 16 characters in 10 seconds.
Much faster than my brain so no problems.

New words for me were NERVINE, GAVAGE, BUNFIGHT. Chambers shows the latter as two words? I will echo the comments of CliffB and anio. Each letter entry takes three seconds. I am using a three year old Dell Inspiron 1525. Maybe that’s the problem.

Cheers…

It is pretty maddening though.

Is the delayed echo of the character just typed deliberate for some reason? It is really annoying.

Well put together I say. Couldn’t do STAR SIGN for the reasons you all give, but that’s just a gap in my knowledge, not anyone’s fault.

Thanks Peter for your blog, which contained the clues and was thus very good! The red typr, yeah, drop it. I can’t read it properly either!

Well done Pasquale too.

Cheers
Rowly.
