Times up Emrach, it's time to check the fruits of your labour.

Thanks to everyone (setters & solvers) for all your involvement in the April 2013 edition of the Joint Effort, all feedback is well received by me and the forum members.

Here is the Solution page and the Wordplay File kindly put together (again) by our well respected fellow setter and forum member AB. Thanks mate.

I do hope this explains any 'question marks' with the teasing head-scratchers that may have left some of you perplexed and confused as to where the wordplay is happening. And maybe a few DOH! moments when the proverbial pennies start to drop.

Thanks again to everyone involved and get yourselves ready for the Big May Special multi grid stinker.

Take Care, Les40

Thanks to both Les and AB for the enlightenment - I think I managed to finish the JE correctly and will now be able to check :)

I've really enjoyed having a go at this and amazingly only got two wrong (33d) and (23d, DUH I put reeL!). I admit there were a couple that I did not understand fully until I read the wordplay. Thanks to Les and AB for all your hard work, much appreciated.

Thanks les well it was completed but just because I put letters in. Before I continue thank you les for all your hard work and ab for the solutions and every one else for waiting because I was late in getting JE.

Now I would like everyone to be honest who got the parsing for Bloom (33d) I would never have got that if my life depended on it !!

Sorry to anyone who couldn't see "Bloom", but it was an enormous hit & Bono was referring specifically to Joyce!
