What have I done now, aristo? Apart from finish -- just. Favourites are ixion at 11 and the ever-inventive peterm at 9 - it hit me just as I was on the point of asking if there was a spelling mistake in the clue!
Well done Bullfrog, You're the first to mention peterm's clue at 9d, I thought I would receive a few questions about the spelling but you've seen the clue's excellent wordplay
I'm about half way through and it's looking good. Will give feedback if/when completed. (Got distracted by yesterday's Azed, which was a real toughie).
The brains of the family and i r just over half way, we r going to have another go this evening i may e-mail u for some hints--- really enjoying this, thanks
