Hi Mark,
I am tantara-less today, sadly, although I have no regrets as it was a very enjoyable puzzling experience. I missed ROW because I was silly enough to spell SPOOR as SPORE (I was thrown by the "so I heard"). I missed ISK (Lookup of the Day) and KEELS (even though I had K-E-S). And I am kicking myself for missing AUG!
Notes I made along the way:
TIS: runner up for Lookup of the Day.
MORSE CODE: nice!
KELVINS: and there is the anticipated "physiclue".
GUM UP: Clue of the Day!
SKEDADDLE: I think there is a typo in the clue i.e. fight --> flight
MARRIAGE: not sure if you meant "2 across" in the clue, or maybe "2 down"?
STROLLS: a lucky guess, because I think 15 across is another typo!
PRAY: Cool use of wee-p!
Keep 'em coming, Mark ... but not at the expense of your studies!!! :o)
Hi Bill,
Shame no tantara. I apologise for the errors in the puzzle. I checked it 3 times and missed the ones you pointed out. I think it is because I knew the clues so well that I ignored when it said "2 across". I took the wording for granted. I am glad it didn't diturb the puzzle too much, but still very clumsy on my behalf. It is rectified now in the PDF.
Re MORSE CODE: Abstract but it worked. Did it take you a while to get that or was it an instant solving?
Marriage was my favourite. As the anagram has meaning to it lol well in some cases it does!
Will keep them coming but at a much slower rate so, as you say, not to disturb the 'aul studies.
Thanks Bill.
Mark,
Don't worry about the errors. I just pointed them out so that you had the opportunity to fix them. I'm not working towards a degree at Trinity, so I get more time to proof my puzzles!
Re MORSE CODE
Frankly, I jumped all over this clue, even though I liked it a lot. In my sailing days way back when, I was the designated "guy on the radio" so I know Morse Code. A great clue.
Re MARRIAGE
Yes, that was a lovely, tongue-in-cheek anagram. Well spotted! If you ever get the chance to check it out, I did a WEB Crossword back in June that has a couple of "themed" anagrams that I know you would appreciate. Take a look at 10A and 23A.
Yes, I hope you get the chance to post the odd puzzle, because I do enjoy them!
