re your post on Puzzle number - good spotting it!
I think you are right, as this setter outed himself as the setter of Everyman @4000

Is 6a really a word/phrase? 4d I can live with but I've never heard that used.

Surprised to see you on here at this particular time Rocky, unless you've got the game on in the background?

6a - I have seen it before but can't say I've ever used it or can recall anyone else doing so either.

4d - see earlier comment in my original post.

There is an option that allows you to simply over type, rather than skip existing letters.

Brendan. Keeping details to a minimum I cut my toe open two weeks ago. I can just about get my shoe on but walking and, importantly where I am in the ground, standing for 90 minutes is not an option.

First time I've missed the last home game in years. Yes it's on Sky.

Oh dear, that sounds painful!

Well, I don't want to hex it but it looks like you're going to win and, more importantly, guarantee CL.

I know you probably thought it was never in doubt but, remember, you're talking to an Hammer πŸ˜‚

COD 12d 😁

Re the Quiptic 1d - is Viz-itis in the air?😁

Definitely Raffles, see @24 - 27.

In addition it seems like Anto was getting a lot off his chest with some of answers eg dead loss, lost cause, waster, limpdidly (I have no idea what it means but it doesn't sound good).

Rocky,

Conrats. I'm glad it was 'our Dec' who got the winner but I've just watched the highlights on YT (Sky are sio quick on getting these out now) and Raya was epic for you.

Brendan, I only got as far as 1d and put my foot through the laptop - who do I send the bill toπŸ˜‰

I didn't mind it at all, it's a common word and fair game as far as I'm concerned.

But your 'foot through the laptop' line did remind me of The Sun headline following the Sex Pistols appearence on the Bill Grundy show - only in this case it was the irate viewer's television:-)

Aahh, to be young again 😎
