Hi all,
Hoping to Slow down and Wise up with today's Everyman from the Observer.
Can you help me with the link to the PDF?
Merci.

COD 26 😃

A quite straightforward Everyman it was. Nothing really stands out. I found 15d odd, but I won’t specify so as not to spoil. But if you see it, you will know what I mean.

Agreed Darla generally and on 15!

Nothing special today. I agree about 15d, that's a mistake.

No rhyming pair or spoonerism this week.

Not sure which is my CoD. And agree few i cannot quite parse - 10a.

18a I had not come across so the first word was tricky to find.

An easier but slightly unsatisfying puzzle.

Good day all.

Hi Yevrah,
No rhyming pair, but a pairing of antonym prefixes, as we’ve seen Everyman do before.

Thanks Jono, neat.

Yevrah - re 10a: 'caught' as in heard, I presume. Still pretty tortuous though! As for 15d, that's two weeks in a row with a clue blunder. I'm guessing The Observer has replaced all its subs with AI.

Well I loved it. Lots of witty and fun clues including:
11a, 12a, 21a, and 1d, 9d, 17d. When the penny drops with allusions ( not sure what the correct term is for this type of clue), such as 9d and 11d, it’s really satisfying.
Can’t fully parse10a either and not completely sure that LOI, 8d is correct. Correction, I’ve just got it. It is correct and it’s another clever clue. Thank you Everyman and to the person who posted the link this morning.
Done and not yet 8:30 am which bodes well for today. Enjoy your day everyone.
