I am curious about a couple of unsolved clues that I forgot to check on:
11A contact cut, returning in 12 (3) G?P. (12A was Space.)
7D Tailless fish is game (6) ?E?R?S Looks like Hearts - a theme in the puzzle was games, mainly old computer games - but I'm lost on tailless fish.

Thanks, rambler. Do they recycle all their puzzles?

Hi, Cymro

I do the i cryptic when I buy the paper and almost always on Saturday. Yes, the i crosswords are recycled from the Independent - you can see the original date. The weekday solutions appear early afternoon and the prize solution the next Saturday. You just have to have willpower and only look when you are completely stumped!
