I used to sit down to solve (try anyway) regularly many years ago - when I had access to the physical newspaper. I just started getting back to it recently. I have lost a lot of touch, I realise.<br />This puzzle was more my style/capability. Shamefully missed AMONG but was able to get everything else.<br />Anyway, thank you for the blog. Sometimes, I cannot help but gasp in admiration of some of some of the solutions! Will try and stay regular as my work permits.<br />This puzzle was more my style/capability. Shamefully, I did not get AMONG but happy to have got the other clues. Hope to keep it up.Pavanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811179168971267058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-40416099335144509052015-09-14T20:13:55.493+05:302015-09-14T20:13:55.493+05:30Good night, all.Good night, all.Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-59564108057705360142015-09-14T13:19:30.928+05:302015-09-14T13:19:30.928+05:30Hear Hear!Hear Hear!Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-22837024780735898772015-09-14T11:48:32.279+05:302015-09-14T11:48:32.279+05:30We had a very short professor with a 'stentori...We had a very short professor with a 'stentorian' voice as CV calls it.He used to ask 'Can you see me/" 'No Sir' will be the answer from the first bench.<br />Can you hear me?<br />'Yes Sir' will be the answer from the last bench- of the next classroom!Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-35949237199084403392015-09-14T11:37:50.896+05:302015-09-14T11:37:50.896+05:30'Gift to gastric juices' leads me to Jeeve...'Gift to gastric juices' leads me to Jeeves' 'Pick-me up's!<br />About anunts- yes, I generalised aunts, which I should not have done with K.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-71964238107307439342015-09-14T10:46:03.843+05:302015-09-14T10:46:03.843+05:3023a did!
