Times Cryptic Jumbo No 1327
This was not your usual generous pachydermic fare, but contained some rather chewy bits. Curious vocabulary, such as BOLOMETER, DENARII, ETYMON, TEMPE, ORESTES and DESIDERATUM and some tricky wordplay/alternate definitions, such as PATERNOSTER, AGNES without the S , "Prime requirement for astronauts", Miss PRISM and the AUSTER wind kept me fretting for nearly 55 minutes. But there were one or two delights along the way, such as UNTRIMMED, AGENDAS, the Greek geography lesson and my (unsurprisingly, given my monicker) COD, DISINTER, that made it all worthwhile. So thank-you setter for an excellent workout. How did you all find it?
