A
lovely middle-of-the-road quick cryptic to end the week from Corelli
that took what is, for me, an average time of about 5 1/2 minutes. A few
trickily disguised definitions caused me a bit of head-scratching...
and might for others too. COD to 6A for the dig at President Vlad.
Noticing
that our setter was Corelli, I remembered that previous crosswords had
some sort of theme. My suspicions were aroused when I got to the
seemingly random girl's name at 16D which got me wondering... So what
did I find? After you've tried looking for yourself, click on the link
below to see (and hear). Nice one Corelli! Thank-you! And thank-you also
for the reminder that "we're not as smart as we'd like to think we
are". How did you all get on?
What I found
In the grid we have LUCKY STARS by DEAN FRIED.. MAN (over two lines) and DENISE MARSA (with a right-angled turn up at the end). No I didn't remember it. Did you? You can hear the delightful 1970s duet here.
