Not strictly on topic, but......

I am sure fellow Geni-users would enjoy the following. Go to

Mayaofauckland.substack.com, click on "Cryptic crosswords by Maya" and navigate to 87. "Crazy", and download one or other of the two PDF versions.

This appeared in my local mag, the sort that is mostly ads for local businesses and a little news. In my opinion, Maya sets better puzzles than any major NZ paper - they are always a little different, often themed, and always fun.

Finished! But, I had never heard of the thematic item. I had to google it once I had most of the letters and it was totally new to me.

He he thanks Claw and thanks for the grid Jono

Ha! Didn't notice this so I've just corrected an error! Cheers!

I got there in the end - with theme and conclusion - although took longer this month. But I can't parse 26d. I have 3 letters, of course, and I'm pretty sure about the answer ... but can't see how it fits the clue. Hints appreciated

Blimey!

Many thanks Jono (that's what I'd put)

Not being a drinker ... am I right in that the Conclusion is the end of the Ozzie beer commercial quote. Oloroso being a variety of this (my parents kept a bottle in the cupboard which only came out at Xmas and when we had visitors - in NZ)

🍷 👍

thanks!
