Thanks, Dave, much appreciated.
Merry Christmas
Phil

This looks like an appropriate page to wish you a Merry Christmas, BD, and to replicate those wishes and thanks to all the reviews, the setters and the DT for a wonderful year’s entertainment. Have a happy and healthy 2011, and a festiv period full of good cheer.

The Special Toughie for Christmas Day is available if you click “Toughie” on the search facility. Elgar’s Enigmatic Toughie is available if you click on “Enigmatic Variations”.

Well done to Phil & the team. As a paper person I don’t suffer the trials, tribulations and 21d (Cryptic 2567) that on-line bloggers seem to suffer, so I can only say that it has been a very satisfying puzzling year. I perservate into 2011 determined to win the pen to compliment my black notebook! Best wishes to one and all!!
