I like punny def. Whimsical multiple defs would work too

That isn’t something I’ve ever wished existed. The tag I sometimes miss is what I’d call “literal interpretation”, as in “Bear to remove offal? (7)” for DELIVER. I tend to tag these as multiple defs but they aren’t really.

I saw your cri de coeur and gave it a go. Good stuff - very solid. I’ll leave a longer comment on MyC …

I’d love to test solve it but unfortunately I think I will be very busy just at the point when you need it doing #shame

Congratulations! 🥳

I hope this isn’t a subtle way of telling us that you only have 26 other problems …

Haha - no-one more surprised than me, PM!

Aw, stop it!

It was an absolute pleasure to do this. And I can also confirm that Anthony is a lovely guy! I’m looking forward to seeing how the puzzle turned out. #mutualadmirationsociety #getaroom

Loved it there. Enjoy the pintxos!

Lovely stuff! 19d my COTD

It was a lot of fun chatting with Anthony the other day …

We have this chippy quite close by

Very kind - thanks Josh!

Thanks!

Thanks PM

I don’t get a sense of reversal in “covered again” - sorry!

I’m pleased to report that Loon, my friendly, feathered alter ego, makes another appearance in the Times Quick Cryptic slot today #cryptic #crossword
