BD Rating – Difficulty ****Enjoyment *****

I loved this!  My first ever 5* (I think) for enjoyment.  I will happily forgo my blogging fee for today!

Silvanus is on Toughie duty today and this is definitely not RayT, so I am running a book on Guess the Setter.  Senf has promised to bring a couple of toonies all the way from Canada as prize money, although he doesn’t know this yet! No point in trying to bribe me, as I have no idea who wrote this gem, but I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  I found it quite challenging in parts, so no doubt there will be some who complain that it is too difficult, but I would suggest that you just take a moment to reread the clues and admire the skill of this setter.  It is really difficult to pick a Clue of the Day, but if pushed, I would probably go for the very clever 9a.  A nod of appreciation to the Quickie Pun as well.

In the blog below, the definition element of each clue has been underlined, anagrams are CAPITALISED and the crossword technique “indicator words” are in brackets. The answers are concealed under the “Click Here” buttons.  Please leave a comment telling us how you got on and what you thought of the puzzle.  Please also try to be positive – it’s only a bit of fun.

Great stuff.  Thank you clever setter.


Across
1a Animal in river vessel getting brief tickle (12)
HIPPOPOTAMUS: a Lego or charades clue.  Join together a synonym of in (or trendy) + every setter’s favourite two-letter Italian river + synonym of (cooking) vessel + synonym of tickle (a verb) without the last letter (brief).

9a Deer picture finally went right to the gallery (5,4)
STAGE LEFT: synonym of deer (male) + the last letter (finally) of picturE + synonym of went. “Right to the gallery” is how people in the audience of a theatre would view the stage direction which is the solution to this clue. Clever.

10a Saw a daughter grow up (5)
ADAGE: A + abbreviation for Daughter + synonym of grow up. The definition is a noun.

11a US gamers’ SIM scam uncovered every time (7)
AMERICA: remove the first and last letters of words 2, 3 & 4  (uncovered every time) and join together what’s left.

12a Being a snitch for bank job? (7)
TELLING: double definition.

13a Glad Harry did get help moving piano out (9)
DELIGHTED: anagram (Harry) of DID GET HEL(p).  “Moving piano out” invites us to ignore the P in the anagram fodder.

16a Old Scot selected for hearing (4)
PICT: homophone (for hearing) of a synonym of selected.

18a Pull plug (4)
PUFF: double definition.  For the first, think “smoke” and for the second, think “advertisement”.

19a Paid lip service? (9)
KISSOGRAM: a lovely cryptic definition.  The middle letter of this can be either O or A.  Needless to say, I went for the wrong one to start with.

22a Like a lout, lad returning is drunk by British hotel (7)
YOBBISH: synonym of lad reversed (returning) + IS inside (drunk by) abbreviations for British and Hotel.

23a Steering clear of Aylesbury perhaps in onset of gridlock (7)
DUCKING: Aylesbury is a breed of this aquatic bird + IN + first letter (onset) of Gridlock. Anyone who has driven through Aylesbury will appreciate the “surface read” of this clue.

25a Lay in frost alongside delta (5)
HOARD: synonym of frost + Delta.  Chambers describes the definition as “to get in a supply of”.

26a Loathe article with appallingly mean obit (9)
ABOMINATE: indefinite article + anagram (appallingly) of MEAN OBIT.

27a Wrong note in Shaggy song (8,4)
ANYTHING GOES: anagram (wrong) of NOTE IN SHAGGY with the definition being a song (and eponymous musical) by Cole Porter.  I am more familiar with Cole Porter’s 1934 work than Shaggy’s more recent offerings.  Does that make me an old git?


Down
1d Mostly silence on tape’s other half (7)
HUSBAND: synonym of silence without the final letter (mostly) + synonym of tape.

2d Serenity as athlete finally stops walk (5)
PEACE: last letter (finally) of athletE inside (stops) a synonym of walk.

3d Holes in sponge on the rocks (8)
OPENINGS: anagram (on the rocks) of IN SPONGE.

4d Musical work in Verona reporters tipped (5)
OPERA: it took me a while to parse this one.  It is a hidden word upside down clue (in…tipped) with the solution being concealed upside down in words 4 & 5.

5d Hospital denied that it used bad manners (9)
ATTITUDES: anagram (bad) of T(h)AT IT USED.  “Hospital denied” tells us to ignore the abbreviation for Hospital in the anagram.

6d Working uniform, black (6)
USABLE: abbreviation for Uniform + synonym of black.

7d I make 2 for New York dummy? (8)
PACIFIER: a double definition with the first definition being somewhat cryptic. The first “word” is a letter rather than a number and the third “word” is a reference to the solution to 2d. The solution is what the Americans would call a baby’s dummy.

8d Delay in audition for Gravity (6)
WEIGHT: homophone (in audition) of a synonym of delay.

14d Craft ale, bit of bubbly (8)
LIFEBOAT: anagram (bubbly) of ALE BIT OF. Craft ale is a relatively recent cold and fizzy version of “proper beer”.  Its emergence is viewed by traditionalists as a step back to the bad old days before CAMRA was founded in 1971.

15d Derive comfort from Spooner’s fish pie (4,5)
TAKE HEART: even the spoonerism is fun! A type of fish and a type of pie (without a topping) are given the Spooner treatment.

17d Dealing with tender (8)
TOUCHING: double definition.

18d Film some tipsy chocoholics (6)
PSYCHO: hidden word (some) within words 3 & 4.

20d Criminals more self-satisfied if ending on top? (7)
MUGGERS: a word meaning “more self-satisfied” with the final letter moved to the front of the word (if ending on top – this is a down clue). Very neat.

21d Mysterious, like 18 Down? (6)
HIDDEN: as we have just seen, 18d is a hidden word clue…

23d Very warm by day, India’s cotton fabric (5)
DHOTI: synonym of very warm after (by) abbreviation for Day followed by abbreviation for India.

24d State of birdbath now occasionally neglected (5)
IDAHO: even numbered letters (occasionally neglected) of bIrDbAtH nOw.

 

 Quickie Pun:  LIE  +  FUR  +  BRINE  =  LIFE OF BRIAN

  1. Well, this was tougher than those earlier this week but it was quite doable with a bit of lateral thought. I had many epiphanies and these made for a satisfying solve with a few laughs along the way. I did like the paid lip service at 19a and going around Aylesbury at 23a. I was held up in the NW because I entered “cashier” at 12a.

    My COTD is the mysterious 21d, which I thought very neat.

    Thank you, setter for the fun challenge. Thank you, Shabbo for the hints.

    Cold and raining in The Marches today.

  2. 3*/3*. A curate’s egg for me today with a mixture of difficulty, a mixture of satisfying and less satisfying clues, and a mixture of smooth and strange surface readings.

    I wasn’t sure about “dealing with” being a synonym for 17d nor “pull” as a synonym for 18a, but I was surprised to find the former in the BRB. I also think that “on the rocks” in 3d is a bit of stretch as an anagram indicator.

    I was of course delighted to see New York in 7d, and my podium comprises 11a, 19a & 15d.

    Thanks to the setter and to Shabbo.

    1. Hi RD

      I only saw your post about left-field (note the hyphen) this morning and responded an hour or so ago.

      Just to save people the trouble of looking it up, here is the convo (hate that one?). I’d be interested to know if other people can’t stand the expression or, like me, are a fan…

      RD: Ouch. I’ve only just noticed you mentioning “left field”! Go to the back of the class. In any event, if you must use such an awful expression, I believe it should be hyphenated …

      Tom: I had no idea that this expression grated so much, RD. No one has ever balked when I’ve said or written it before. Is it that bad? I quite like it. Luckily, being a very childish student, coming out with rubbish one-liners, flicking elastic bands and throwing paper aeroplanes, I’m already at the back of the class.

      1. I beleive pull in 18 across = drag/pull/draw smoke into the mouth (puff on a fag) when smoking a cigarette. Plug = advetisement/blurb (or puff).

  3. This was great fun.

    All sorts of techniques were on display with some quirkiness thrown in. Splendid.

    I have never heard of the Aylesbury waddler and I biffed 18a as both definitions were beyond me. My LOI was 6d which took me in to the next time zone.

    My podium is 1a, 19a and 15d.

    Many thanks to the setter and Shabbs.

    3*/4*

  4. Tough today – almost threw in the towel but perseverance eventually paid dividends.
    4*/4*
    19a, 21d and 23a on the podium.
    Thanks to Shabbo and Setter

  5. I agree with Shabbo a ***** this one. Some brilliant clues. I liked the well concealed anagrams at 14a, 3d and 3a. The clever 9a was magnificent but my COTD was 19a. Excellent. LOI was 17d for some reason. I don’t think RayT but I’m usually wrong. Thanks to Shabbo and our setter.

  6. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this is a case of Mr Smooth on double duty today. His Toughie is most certainly worth a stab at & by no means fiendish. Completely agree with Shabbo’s 5* enjoyment rating. Earworms galore from the get-go – started off singing mud, mud glorious mud, then wandered through a desert on a horse with no name, then pulled into Nazareth with Mavis, Pops & The Band & finished with Cole Porter’s wonderful 27a (nobody sings it better than Frank but Porter’s version has the original full lyrics). Stick a tick pretty well next to all of ‘em but if forced to pick a podium 19a sits on top with 1&9a beating a good few others in a packed finish. After 14&18d I wondered if there were other Hitchcock 🎥s but couldn’t find any.
    Thanks to the setter & to Shabbo for his usual excellent review.
    I’m indebted to this blog for introducing me to the joys of Flanders & Swann

  7. Gosh I never thought you would put this as a **** I found it reasonable at **/*** at the most. The only one I wasn’t sure about was 18a, I needed to look at your explanation even though that what I put in.

    1. Ditto Lynne. Was planning on posting a comment but yours was exactly what I would have said myself (but probably not so succinctly 🥴)

      1. My guess is this setter used to be a Tuesday regular back in the day when allocated days were used. Nice construction 1a, see you all Saturday afternoon.

  8. A top-notch puzzle – thanks to our setter and Shabbo. I’m not prepared to wager any hard cash on the name of the setter but I did wonder whether it might be the work of our esteemed crossword editor.
    I ticked 9a, 23a, 15d, 20d and 21d with my favourite being 19a.

    As Huntsman says Silvanus in the Toughie slot is also really good and well worth a go.

  9. 19a is also my COTD, but 1a is close behind, once I was able to parse the obvious answer fully. I also had trouble parsing 7d, but eventually got it. I didn’t think of it as a double definition. Many thanks to Shabbo for hints, and for a nice puzzle to the setter. I have no idea who.

  10. With this very challenging guzzle, it was difficuult to get a foothold and I found only 2 clues on the first pass. Things improved as the checkers went in and I eventually completed itafter a bit of a struggle. I enjoyed thee anagrams at 26a and 27a and the lurker at 18d. Thanks to Shabbo for explaining the parsing and to the compiler

  11. Brilliant and impeccably smart. 19a is especially well done. Super surfaces throughout – 12a, etc. 18a’s a cracking double definition and the Spooner’s uniquely smooth. Best of the week so far, I’d say. Many thanks to our setter and Shabbo.

  12. I enjoyed this a lot although it took me a fair amount of time, partly because I was explaining some of the clues and solutions to my eldest, who purported to be interested for a while. The NE corner was the last to fall, with the very clever now I fully understand it (thanks Shabbo) 7d last in. I also appreciated 20d and 19a and, unusually for me, saw the Spoonerism relatively quickly and therefore liked that too. 23d was a new word but easily gettable from the clue. Thanks very much to the setter and (again) to Shabbo. I had exactly the same thought about Aylesbury, a town redeemed mainly by its excellent theatre and the somewhat incongruous National Trust pub which sells non-craft ales from local breweries.

  13. A tricky devil of a puzzle! I was foxed by 9A, which (once I got it with a letter reveal) I thought was brilliant, as was 19a….all v stimulating for the grey cells in any case….

  14. Back in my rugby playing days and long before the introduction of leagues, Aylesbury was the first game of the season for us. We would always keep our fingers crossed that there would be a late harvest and some of their big farmers would be unavailable!
    One year, our skipper decided that we should all travel over to Aylesbury in possession of a duck. Most of us elected to take a yellow rubber duck to float in the bath afterwards (yes – a bath – those were the days!).
    One of our players went one better and drove over to Aylesbury in an open-top sports car wearing a beret, upon which was a home-made nest filled with little plastic ducklings. Who said all rugby players are childish?!
    Simpler times, but great fun and lasting friendships.

  15. Another good puzzle, but not sure I’d give four stars for difficulty. Maybe I just managed to get on to the setter’s wavelength quickly (for a change).

    I thought 18a was a bit oblique and I inevitably put A rather than O in 19a which slowed me down, but otherwise a lot to like here.

    Five stars for enjoyment also seems a bit of a stretch – perhaps a four – but then we’ve been spoiled lately with some cracking puzzles so it’s all relative.

  16. Another vote here for this being something of a curate’s egg but I’m pleased for the setter’s sake that many have thoroughly enjoyed it, including our reviewer it would seem. Top clues for me were 19a and the Spoonerism both of which I thought were excellent.

    Thanks to whoever set this one and to Shabbo for the enthusiastic review. I’ll save my plaudits for Mr Smooth over in the Toughie slot!

  17. Lovely puzzle today.
    I too initially put the wrong vowel in 19a which held things up a bit.
    Very enjoyable nevertheless.

    Awaiting storm Eowyn with some trepidation as we are in the Amber Alert area.
    Hardly a breath of air so far, so we may escape again. Hope so.

  18. I found this quite difficult today, but I enjoyed it immensely.
    The two that caused the most problem were 17d, which was my last to go in, and the first definition of 18a.
    Many thanks to the setter and to Shabbo for the write-up. 4*/4*

  19. *** / **** A definite step up from the last few days, as it should be. Last one in and favourite 9a. Agree with Shabbo re 18a, you have a drag on a ciggie or pull, makes sense to me
    Thanks to setter and Shabbo

  20. When I noticed the Spoonerism in today’s offering I thought .. oh no .. a toughie. I was right however got there in the end. I didn’t notice the reverse lurker in 4d despite sticking in correct answer so now kicking myself. I notice much comment re 18a but that was fine and in the “easy” SW. I am not happy with the Spoonerism at 15d though. Hake a delicious “white” fish but what are we supposed to do with the extra E in tart. Assume a homophone? Mmmm!
    My cotd was the Old Scot at 16a, although being a pedant, at the time of the Picts nobody had heard of Scotland, that came later and the rest is history!
    Thanks to setter and Shabbo for the hints.

    1. Spoonerisms can often be “homophones”, so one can ignore the spelling of the component parts.
      “Wave the sails” for “save the whales”.

  21. Wow what a splendid puzzle with just the right amount of chewiness for this time of the week.
    Top picks for me were 18d, 21d, 27a and 9a. I was spoilt for choice though and many others could have been included.

    Thanks to Shabbo and the setter.

  22. This non RayT Thursday puzzle was a tad more difficult today, I thought anyway.
    One new word for me, quite few clues where parsing was not obvious to me, but the cross check letters indicated what the word had to be. Not a very satisfying solve.

    3*/2.5*

    Favourites were 12a, 22a, 14d, 20d & 24d — with winner 14d
    Smiles from said winner along with 11a, 12a & 8d
    As far as the Spoonerism goes, it doesn’t quite work for me. Semantics maybe.

    Thanks to setter & Shabbo

  23. Help – I’m stuck outside Lurkdom after my brief sortie on Tuesday. Some strange forces are at work preventing my return. Meanwhile today’s crossword – l struggled with this one which is no bad thing as I see it as another step towards getting better. Many thanks to the setter for the challenge and to Shabbo for the hints which I needed for a few clues today. My favourites were obviously 4d (reverse lurker) 18d (lurker) and 21d because it refers to 18d. Back to my quest…….

    1. I did warn you, Longers. Delurk and you are doomed to commenting for all Eternity. There is no way back! 🤣

  24. According to the timer on the Telegraph Puzzles website, this took me exactly one second less than yesterday’s backpager! An above-average number of answers went in on the first pass, but I then slowed down a lot — allowing more time to enjoy the wonderful clues — and I used Shabbo’s help to finish, after getting stuck with three crossing answers in the top-right. Thank you to both setter and hinter.

    I liked 15d’s fish pie, and much to my surprise I even found myself liking some anagram clues. 21d was delightfully sneaky, with “18d” being a reference to the clue rather than the answer. My favourite was 9a going right to the gallery.

  25. I also got off to a good start but then slowed to a bit of a stagger. I needed help for 19a and 17d was last one in. But a splendid challenge with some nice ‘doh’ clever man flashes. 9a was particularly neat. I drove to Whittlesford this morning to buy my ticket for Saturday! Many thanks to Messrs Setter & Shabbo.

  26. Got there apart from 6 d which must have been brain fatigue. Sometimes the short clues can be particularly hard so I was pleased to come in with 16 a.Lots of very clever clueing and entertainment but no walk in the park. Many thanks to what seems the mystery setter and Shabbo.

  27. Started well, pottered about the grid and had to resort to Shabbo’s hints to complete. That said, what I did complete unaided I thoroughly enjoyed. In a toss up for cotd between 1a and 19a, the former gets it as I had the wrong centre vowel in 19a on first pass. Thanks to compiler and to Shabbo for the necessary hints to enable completion.

  28. Absolutely excellent!. Very good, mostly succinct, clues gave a fairly difficult challenge and much enjoyment. Lots of ticks and I particularly liked 9a and 19a. 3.5*/4.5*.

  29. After four great days in crossword land I was not surprised to find this **** waiting this morning, and not even a RayT with whom I have more success. Happily there were a few freebies including Aylesbury, enabling me to get about half done before needing a few hints to move on. I can’t say I have ever used 22a but it had to be. Had a problem with 6d as usable = workable, not working? I’m sure the BRB says otherwise. Had no idea what a 19a might be, plus 1934 song was lost in memory. But I can’t claim to understand 18a, as I cannot make that work as a synonym for either word. Probably something from current vernacular? Thanks to setter for the exercise, and Shabbo.

  30. This is probably the toughest puzzle I have ever completed having taken most of the day.
    (Redacted)
    *****/0
    Thx for the hints

        1. It has nothing to do with free speech, Fuseman. The blog has a long standing code of Common Etiquette, which the majority of us try to abide by. You should take a read if you haven’t already done so – check out ‘COMMENT’. at the top.

          1. Well that’s me told…

            I have read the ‘COMMENT’ section and I must have missed the part about light-hearted quips. I have no issue with avoiding offensive posts but I think there’s a bit of a pile-on re: Brian. I don’t know how serious he is when he criticises certain crosswords in rather immoderate terms but personally I find it amusing to guess how vehemently he may react if a couple of biblical references appear. He’s a bit of an abrasive McEnroe amongst a sea of Federers – why not enjoy the contrast?

            1. I totally agree with you about light hearted quips, but in the ten or twelve years that I have been either reading or contributing to the blog I cannot remember Brian making many – well aimed nasty remarks come aplenty when he takes objection to a particular clue, puzzle or setter. He clearly has his ‘fans’, who find him funny and who give him tacit encouragement to say what he does, though.
              As with social media, it’s far too easy to hide behind a pseudonym and make offensive remarks. In my personal opinion, I should add :-) :-)

  31. Clever setter Shabbo ? Would have failed physics.
    Clue 8d : gravity is a force and weight is the amount of atoms in something under the force of gravity.
    Rant over.
    Otherwise I enjoyed this puzzle with the exception of clues 7 and 8.
    Thanks to all concerned.

    1. Thank you for that ‘gravity’ correction, Una*.

      Got to keep these setters on their toes.

      * Assuming it’s pronounced ‘Ooner’, you wouldn’t happen to be an Arsenal fan, would you as ”Una the Gooner” would be oh so marv? Just like their chances of catching The Pool….it’s a longshot.

        1. And quite right too. You must get that, to play around with Mr Daniel’s’ quote…not a little but a lot.

          Mrs Merton’s line is in my top 3 TV quotes, along with ‘Don’t tell him, Pike’ and Eric’s note order to André…..

          ‘So, Debbie. What attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?’

    2. Does 8d have to be to do with physics? Something like “We need to take into account the gravity/8d of the situation” might work?

    3. I noticed the Physics anomalies in the clues too that’s what you get if you’re married to a physicist and your son and daughter-in-law are also physicists! Indoctrinated that’s me.

      1. Thank goodness I am not the only one.In my case I spent over 40 years drumming it into youngsters that mass and weight are not the same thing.

  32. Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle and only found it a tad harder than yesterday, although I got stuck a while on the NE corner. For some reason I was convinced 7d was “soother”, despite it not being the correct number of letters – doh! Once I put that aside, it all fell into place nicely. Agree with everyone else about 18a…. Thanks to the anonymous setter and Shabbo,

    1. Isn’t it amazing, Lanzalily that, even when we know an answer to be incorrect, we still insist on trying to make it fit? 😊

      1. Yes, it can be very difficult to let go and look at things from a different angle – but then, that’s the fun of cryptic crosswords. I found half of todays clues were the opposite of my first thoughts, which I find quite satisfying, perversely – if that makes sense?

  33. This one has definitely split the pack re difficulty. I didn’t find it too bad at all , slightly chewy but guess I was on the setter’s wavelength and enjoyed it immensely. As many I too didn’t known what 18a meant , but yes of course see that now. Thanks so much to the setter and Shabbo.

  34. Good evening

    Crikey. A poor show on my part; a DNF. I hoyed the sponge in at 8:15 after many, many stabs at today’s crozzie. I completely failed to deduce 19a (excellent clue, though, but!) and also dipped out on 6d and 17d. 5d and 7d were gettable from the hints, which meant that 16a and 12a fell into place.

    9a is a terrific clue!

    Despite this being my worst showing in ages, I enjoyed the challenge. Onwards and upwards tomorrow!

    Many thanks to our compiler and to Shabbo.

  35. I was held up by 17d due to my inability to spell 19a, that said I made hard work of parts of the rest of it as well, most of the satisfaction being to actually complete it. No outstanding favourite but if pushed I’d go for 12a. Thanks to the setter and Shabbo.

  36. It took a while to get into this solve.

    A dnf with a few that needed the hints or answers. Not sure I get 18a and don’t understand 17d. What is a 19a?

    Enjoyed what I could solve.

    Thanks to all.

  37. I have run out of time to finish this today, it is definitely the toughest of the week. I enjoyed the challenge but will probably need the hints to finish the last few unless I have a lightbulb moment. My favourite was 1a.

    Many thanks to the setter and to Shabbo for the hints which I will almost certainly need.

  38. Thank you to the setter for a fun and challenging puzzle. Shabbo for the hints and explanations. Both of us non smokers, 18a meant squat diddly! I lived near Aylesbury and never came across a duck.
    Top picks 9a, 19a and 15d. COTD is however the Spoonerism 15d, Loi 6d.
    Apart from a few wrong entries we raced through this….now what to do with the rest of the evening?! Gary and Val

  39. Started off quite well. Then got stuck. Didn’t help that I was getting distracted by the brilliant Severance on Apple TV!

  40. A hard but enjoyable puzzle which I completed but with question marks all over the place. Thanks to Shabbo I now understand all the clues!

  41. I found this to be very challenging but enjoyable with some excellent clues. I am surprised however that there is no comment about 23d, the answer to which I understand to be a garment that can be fashioned out of numerous different fabrics not just cotton. COTD 19a, raised a smile and I chose the wrong spelling initally so 17d was a problem.
    Thanks for the hints and to the setter.
    21 celsius this morning at Tai Chi so the cardigans and extra layers were still in place.

  42. Wow very good! Thank you compiler and Shabbo for explaining the ‘mysterious’ and right gallery clues that were beyond me.

  43. Superb puzzle.
    I took far too long being convinced that 7d ended in “ist”, took forever to get the song in 27a.
    Thanks to Shabbo and whoever the setter is.

    1. Thank you for a truly wonderful puzzle, Twm. – I thought it was one of your creations, particularly on reaching the Spoonerism, but did not have time to comment last evening. Most of it had gone in almost at reading pace, but you had laid a few bear traps in the NE & S which meant my last four took as long as the rest!

      Some lovely and very clever clueing, thank you.

      Oh – and thanks too to Shabbo, of course!

    2. The payment arrived just as I was allocating the * ratings, so perfect timing!
      Unfortunately, the cheque has bounced.
      😊
