I found this tricky in places and was held up a few times before eventually finishing in a bit over 11 minutes.

A nice mix of clues here, with some not too difficult anagrams balanced by a few which helped to get the brain into gear for the day ahead.

A few nefarious characters and what may lie in store for them here.

The very first clue described my experience with this puzzle.

Here we go again, I thought, I had the bad luck to have a poet and classicist not long ago…

Enjoyable puzzle, a bit gentler than most last week, though for the second time in a row on my watch, a semi-panic inducing clue at 1a which looked completely ‘unknown’.

When I saw the clue for 1a I thought we were in for a Classics-based toughie but…

More than enough to keep the grey matter ticking over with this enjoyable offering from Oink.

I think the best term to describe today’s offering from Teazel is “enjoyably chewy”.

Lots of merriment – drinking, raving and playing around in boats – to be had here.
