Hello everyone. This isn’t a Ray T Thursday and that’s the only thing I’m sure about. It doesn’t feel like a Shamus to me which, going on past history, means it probably is – maybe we’ll find out later. I thought some of it was quite difficult but that could be just me.… Continue reading

Morning all and welcome to a RayThursday. I don’t think you’ll find this puzzle too difficult but it’s a “proper” RayT with a few stretched synonyms, a bit of innuendo and Her Majesty on parade. You’ll need your lateral thinking cap in some places but I found it a lot of fun.

Hello everyone. It’s not a Ray T Thursday so those of you who don’t get along with him can relax – I’m not going to make any wild guesses as to who set today’s crossword as I’ve been wrong many times before.

Morning all and welcome to a non-RayT Thursday. Nothing in this one to frighten any horses but there is plenty to entertain them. There seem to be a lot of clues requiring insertions and several are indicated in the same way which is my only criticism of an otherwise splendid puzzle.

Hello everyone. This is definitely a Ray T Thursday – a few of his trademarks are missing but I’m sure that it’s one of his crosswords. Cheer up to those of you who find them tricky because it’s very much at the easier end of his range of difficulty.… Continue reading

Good morning everyone and welcome to what I’m pretty sure is a non-RayT Thursday, but I’m not going to hazard a guess as to the setter. The puzzle was easily finished and would have been a 1* apart from one clue which held out for quite some time and pushed me into 2* time. I’ll be interested to see how you all got on with it.
