Indeed she is Jono. Her mother was pregnant with her when she drank the worm's poison and so was born with all the knowledge of her ancestors (all right Bren, we didn't ask for her life story!)

I just recentlyread Dune Messiah:-)

Jono @ 17

If you click settings on the top right of the grid, the timer can be turned off (on a PC at least).

Hi Philo, yes I know that bit. But what you can’t turn off is the message box that pops up at the end to tell you your time and score. That’s what I meant.

It’s no big deal, I’m always grateful for the crossword :-)

I’ve never completed it so quickly! Only one I’m unsure of the reason for my answer is 7d

Hi Jono, I'd not noticed the box pop up in the past, before I put the clock on. I guess I'd a few typos.

Today was a relief for me after yesterday.

Hi Elletee,

7d - as well as the answer meaning "is unable", it also means "an inclination from the vertical or horizontal plane", in other words "tilt to one side".

Virtually a write in for me but I wasn't aware of the 15 minute rule so ended up with 280 points as usual. Thanks Brendan I'll know not to put the tablet down and fetch a beer mid-solve next time.

No problem Rocky.

By the way, how is your foot - did it heal okay?

You know what Brendan? This weekend is the first time in six weeks or so I finally feel it is better. The cut healed fine but I clearly did some internal damage that really took a while. I was reminded of Beckham's metatarsal injury before the 2002 world cup. Will it heal in time?
