The lull continues! NJ effect?

Anyway, thanks to the non-regulars for making up the gap!

Please do honour us more often!
As usual my last resort for filling up the blanks was the colonel's blog where the comments are illuminating and entertaining!
An incontestable statement I found there today:
" today's was a tough one...some of the anno's really killed me...as the saying goes..'everythings fair in love, war and crossword' "
For interesting annos:

Usually I get into the forum to check if my answers are correct. Today I found many gaps - hence added my two bits. I will try to be regular and I agree today's clues were not the regular run of mill ones.
Have fun and enjoy the long weekend.

The presence of a nutcracker here lures me to a happy digression: I'm lately discovering myself going backwards in years!

I gel well with my grandchildren, we share an avid interest in online games. When I recommended a lovely puzzle game called 'Pet rescue' in king.com, they wanted me to try crazy-go-nuts game in playedonline.com. Fantastic! :P

The beginning of Gridman series coinciding with Diwali season is reason enough to bring in the festive mood, I felt!!!

PP is not only a 1 AC but many times a 28 AC as well. no wonder PP got it first.
In mine own estimation I am 1ac, but I'm not sure if those around me will agree!
Now I'm in a dilemma!

whether to get ready for a fight asking why "many times' and not 'always'

or blush in content with such excessive praise

or go grab that bottle of Tiger Balm to prevent a relapse of sinusitis that might occur with such generous 'ice' showers!

I will repeat "many times", and not "always" because:
PP is always hesitant to encourage the "spirits" behind my rejoinders.
its better to blush in content.
p.s. there are better bottles than TIGER BALM

'bottles'???
Nutcracker! Beware, a good spanking awaits you!
I am 'always' steady in my stand and on foot to protest whenever 'spirits' arise! This afternoon in another site, the admirable guy at the helm got a nudge(=spanking) from me for admitting to a peg of whiskey!!!
What a wretched, self-appointed job of enforcing dry laws wherever I go!!!

ABRIDGE looks quite alright! But 5dn is mind-boggling, I can't make head or tail of it!

What is C-in-C? What is the drink it gets? And how getting more merry?

my way of justification is:-
SUP is to drink.
MORE anagram REMO
COMMANDER IN CHIEF is SUPREMO.
and with a further stretch of imagination:
SUPREMO could become SUPREMA????
any other "wild" guesses????????

To clarify:
(a) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is correct.
(b) ACKNOWLEDGMENT is an alternative spelling.
Whether you use one or the other is as per your learning and preference.
I always spell it as in (a)
Similarly, JUDGEMENT/JUDGMENT
AGEING/AGING
CLUEING/CLUING
QUEUEING/QUEUING

Excellent!
Colonel's translation list seems to be a hot forward doing the rounds! It is very recently posted here in the 'share what enjoyed reading' thread!
SOLVERS= kaNdupippOr?

Doesn't sound quite correct! Makes us Columbuses!

nirappuvOr?
CROSSWORD SOLVERS=kurukkezuththu kattam nirappuvOr?

Your guffaw at the end of Clue 19ac seems to suggest that you have something up your sleeve - assuming of course that the choli you're wearing at the moment indeed has a sleeve. Going by what our actresses and models wear now, cholis nowadays have no sleeves, no backs, no shoulder bands, no ...
I love those choli sleeves that have a - what do they call it? puff? - and/or (again) what do they call it? tucks? darts?

Sleeveless choli for me?!

Never! But puffs find favour with me- a prominent feature of my mom's generation, paraded by the cine beauties of those days!
What is up my sleeve is such an old, stale secret, don't you think?

As far as this signature thing and THC is concerned, I think it was Gridman who first put himself in.
Later I think Neyartha did that.
I don't remember Sankalak or Manna having done that.
All these are pseudonyms.
I wonder if Nita Jaggi, which is a very real name of a very real person, can do it.
Any guesses?

Forget the solution, but did this clue remind anyone of the scene from the Tamil film Moondram Pirai or the fable that the scene depicted?

That's right, Mrs PP!
Though I wrote the note, I later thought the link was perhaps tenuous. I even thought I may have misled my readers.
Besides with 'monkey' in the clue and that last scene on the platform of a railway station, there was a red herring - which you could have done without.
Anyway all's well that ends well and I am relieved there is no bee in your bonnet.

An interesting forwarded mail I received:
ONLY THE BRITISH COULD HAVE INVENTED THIS LANGUAGE
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England ..
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends
and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns
down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IF PEOPLE FROM POLAND ARE CALLED POLES, THEN
PEOPLE FROM HOLLAND SHOULD BE HOLES AND FROM GERMANY GERMS!!!
Which reminds me of a story. There was a boy whose father was a stickler for correct English. The boy wanted a pair of mongooses as pets and wrote to his father: "Dear dad, please send me two mongooses, love, son". It didn't sound right so he re-wrote the letter: "Dear dad, please send me two mongeese, love, son". It still didn't sound right and knowing his father's penchant for correct English, he sent this letter finally: "Dear dad, please send me a mongoose, love, son. P.S. On second thoughts, better make it two"

Splendid!
Welcome, sbsr! You seem to have clicked the 'quote' option in the last post! Next time you copy the last post and paste it in the reply portion at the bottom of the page and type your quota of 4 answers. You better highlight them by putting B inside square brackets before the answer and B/ in square brackets after the answer which should be in capital letters. All the best!

Mrs PP,
Please permit an unabashed plug...
I am glad to say that Indian blogs and Indian bloggers on crosswords are getting attention in the UK.
In the Comments under my blog on today's Daily Telegraph crossword, the blog owner has cited an article by Shuchi in her blog and alludes to the comments I made thereunder.
He reveals that Chaturvasi is Rishi in disguise (which of course members here must be in the know).
Visit, if you like,

Hi all,
Great to know I'm in the midst of such bright lights; me being the dimmest zero watt bulb in these parts of course.
I stumbled onto The Hub, and this part of it, by accident and signed on when I found that this group was working on The Hindu's daily challenge to the intellect; except on those days (I do not know how many of you will agree) some sadist sets *starred* clues which have no relevance whatsoever, but still make the needed connection between puzzle setter and aspiring solver.
Hope to stay with you guys till time (or The Hindu) be with me no ore.
By the time I cracked today's offering and logged on to see what I could offer you guys, the whole grid had been completed.
Great going and happy to be here.
Warm regards to all,
SBSR

One suggestion to you: please do not wait to crack the whole puzzle, try to log in as soon as you get a few answers and post them if they are not already posted, get help from already solved clues to solve more unsolved clues. My practice is this. You see, we enjoy posting our quota of answers before the time limit of 10am IST.

agreed, but the outstanding singular individual is "giving out letters" as well!!!!!

9 Individual giving out letters for a dealer without money (7) STELLAR
Allow me to clarify
Individual giving out letters = Definition = SPELLER
for = connector
a dealer = SELLER
without = container indicator
money = P (pence, pound, paisa etc)

I don't think he/she knows me pp.
I just remember the name because we all started using this site around the same time last year.....Ragsyboy too if I'm not mistaken!
Then I got busy with work and couldn't get to the crossword until late at night...sometimes not even then. Anyway... it's great to be back.

Don't worry! Sundays do have a nasty habit of pulling mouse-potatoes like me out of the house to attend various social meets and functions. Even today I couldn't snatch even a few minutes being busy preparing bf before setting out for oorsuththufying with the visiting kids! On such occassions I even used to wake very early to log in and see the online edition. Today I overslept due to fatigue after our residents' association's New Year celebration programme last night. And grandchildren , I've long ago written an article about, are dictators and their Doras and Deigos do not allow us to get near the machine!!!

Even today I couldn't snatch even a few minutes being busy preparing bf before setting out for oorsuththufying with the visiting kids! On such occassions I even used to wake very early to log in and see the online edition. Today I overslept due to fatigue after our residents' association's New Year celebration programme last night. And grandchildren , I've long ago written an article about, are dictators and their Doras and Deigos do not allow us to get near the machine!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
NEED COACHING CLASSES BASICALLY TO TACKLE THE SUNDAY CROSSWORD.

A fantastic finale for the year!
Here is a poem I wrote to welcome the New Year:
2010
Twenty is followed by its half
Time to feel light and laugh
Two thousand years and ten
Twice and more joy for men
Two tens keep a single ten near
Be not tense, peace descends here
A zero after number two, another after one are seen:
He and she tho’ two become one with love between
Twenty marching ahead, ten trailing behind
Heralds the golden era of sublime mankind
Nought stands after two and nought again after one
No enemy for you and me, one world with war gone
Two thousand and ten is a number round
May health, wealth and mirth then abound!
And it gives me great pleasure to post its translation made by another out of admiration!!!
2010
இருபது பின் தொடர்ந்து அதன் பாதி
சிரிப்பே என்றும் அணையா ஜோதி
இரண்டாயிரம் மற்றும் பத்து
இன்ப மகிழ்வே மனிதனின் சொத்து
இரண்டு பத்து அருகில் பத்து ஒன்று
அழுத்தம் விடுத்து அமைதி காத்தல் நன்று
ஒரு பூஜியம் இரண்டின் பின் மற்றொன்று ஒன்றின்பின் தெரிய
ஆனும் பெண்ணும் காதலால் ஒன்றென அறிய
இருபது முன்செல்ல பத்து பின்செல்ல
மனித இனத்தின் வளர்ச்சியை என்சொல்ல
ஒரு சுழியம் இரண்டின் பின் நிற்க ஒன்று ஒன்றின் பின்
ஒருவருக்கும் பகை இல்லை ஓருலகம் கண்ட பின்
இரண்டாயிரத்து பத்து ஒரு முழு எண்
ஈடில்லா இன்பங்கள் உன் முன்.

Hi PP,
Nice poem.
In lighter vein, a small hitch seen in the second verse, what about 'Women'!! or do you mean it's the only year for 'Twice and more joy for men'!!!
Happy New Year in advance to you and your family.
Regards,
Col Deepak Gopinath

Thanks colonel!
Come on, don't you know 'men' includes women too, a common word?( In a converse way, letter-wise 'she' includes 'he', and 'women' includes 'men') Had to manipulate the length of the line aesthetically!
So long as women exist no year can bring joy to men!!!

how does SETTER fit in? since it is a breed mainly for hunting trips, and not everyman's dog.

Everyman is the Guardian's Crossword. Setter alludes to both the crossword and the breed of dog. My best guess really.

The Sunday THC is syndicated from The Guardians 'Everyman' crossword hence the setter here is Everyman also besides the breed of dog.

Thanks deepakgita!
I did not know that The Hindu's crossword on Sundays was syndicated from The Guardian.
Is this a given for all Sundays, or does some other 'local' everyman's dog (setter) intervene to relieve the burden on some of us who love word puzzles but do not know so much about England, its rivers or the major cities in its various counties.
Maybe The Hindu should try syndicating Neyartha's grids to The Guardian as an offering to dedicated solvers 'back home'....
Just trying to imagine all that tea going cold as the pucca sahibs ponder the implications of a "Brown garb of a monk imprisoned by king of Karnataka" (Neyartha's 1 Down on Thursday Jan 7, 2010).

To keep the record straight...
Everyman is published in The Observer.
This paper was separate from The Guardian but when it fell into the doldrums it was acquired by The Guardian and hence it appears on the Guardian site.
It will be correct to say Everyman is a crossword from The Guardian stable.
One of the original composers of this crossword is Ximenes, who framed some strict conventions for the crossword. Those who still follow them are known as Ximeneans. Those who don't follow them are libertarians. (Who can say who among THC setters belong to which school?)

To add a further comment, I know that it is set by a single person.
I have come across the name before but I don't remember just now.
However, I understand that the present compiler has been at it challenging the solvers for the past ten years.

At one time Everyman was set by Dorothy Taylor as part of a team.
This lady passed away recently and there was an obituary in a UK paper.

All credit to Chaturvasi.
Now we know that Allan Scott presently does the Everyman, could someone please enlighten us likewise on Neyartha, just so I identify by name that malefic genius who manages to frustrate me so often. Incidentally PP ma'am, one of the reasons why I stumbled onto your corner of this www is my Googling one of Neyartha's clues.
Pongal greetings to all.

Great! How shall I thank Neyartha for my good fortune?
Holiday! A day to watch a rare celestial event! The rare type of solar eclipse is said to be visible in our parts of the world!

ppk1955! It is clearly said in the title of the thread that the quota is 4 answers till 10am IST!......AND....instead of quoting the previous post try to copy/paste the previous post and add your answers- highlighting the answers is done by adding B within square brackets before the answer and /B within square brackets after the answer. All the best!

Reading the comments on the colonel's blog has been very enlightening:
8dn is STEAK and 13ac is BROOMSTICK~~~~~~~````````````````````````````````` `````!!!

The witches' vehicle! BROOM instead of VROOM?
C-Vasi's question about the exclamation mark after POHA clue intrigues me also! Yes, why? What is there to be surprised or amused?
A rare breed of setter we are blessed with to decipher/wrangle!!!!

Fun with pun found in a post in another thread:

PUNS FOR "EDUCATED" MINDS

2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian .
3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.
5. The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.
6. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
7. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
8. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
9. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
11. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
12. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
13. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.'
14. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me..
15. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.'
16. A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital.
When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was, a nurse said 'No change yet.'
17. A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.
19. The short fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
20. The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
21. A backward poet writes inverse.
22. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes.
23. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
dear colonel,
OXELIP is based on my three surmises:-
#
bumper could be the cowguard (also oxe-guard) in front of train engines.
# certain
cocktails and wines use cowslip (and also oxelip) - please try the google as i do not know how to send a link. certain health supplement tonics also have cowslip/oxelip.
# a
cockscrew on opening a wine bottle, may face the oxelip floating on top of the wine bottle.
These are my assumptions.
P.S. (sorry PP, i had no options)

Simply awesome!!!
Hurray! When I googled for oxelip I found the above post of clueless there!!!
The colonel was clueless about the clue's answer and had settled for obelia for want of a better choice! Now he must be satisfied.
A 'silly' digression: A few days back my sil called from the US in a very excited voice to convey his surprise at finding thousands of search results for my name in google! His request was that I hereafter I write with his name as my pseudonym so that he has the joy of getting thousands of search results in google! (A real jolly good fellow he is, derives immense pleasure in teasing me!). When I asked my daughter why did he search for my name in google she said he was green with envy when he accidentally found an acquaintance of his having many search results in google('ivanellaam ivvaLavu periya aaLaa!) he tried searching for his own and many of his family members' names in google and no result was found. Then my daughter has 'innocently'( 'tongue in the cheek' expert girls can be!) suggested to him to try my name.

OXELIP is based on my three surmises:-
#
bumper could be the cowguard (also oxe-guard) in front of train engines.
# certain
cocktails and wines use cowslip (and also oxelip) - please try the google as i do not know how to send a link. certain health supplement tonics also have cowslip/oxelip.
# a
cockscrew on opening a wine bottle, may face the oxelip floating on top of the wine bottle.
These are my assumptions.
P.S. (sorry PP, i had no options)

Clueless, I must say that you have gone deep into Manna's mind to get the answer oxelip which can be verified only tomorrow.
I did find the connection between Cowslip and Oxlip but not oxelip.
So also cowguard can be oxguard but not oxe-guard

Olefin is also referred to as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyolefin. Olefin's advantages are its strength, colorfastness and comfort, stain, mildew, abrasion and sunlight resistance, and good bulk and cover'
So there is no connection with the clue.
Clueless's answer seems the best bet

Manna (like Hall & Griffith) had us clean bowled by his cocktail of bumpers and bouncers. (And walks away with an impressive bowling analysis).
P.S. spelling of HENREITTA is also not incorrect.

Message from Neyartha on Orkut Forums
Just wish to keep solvers aware of some slip-ups on the part of The Hindu ( Thanks to Neyartha for pitching in with the
Notes on The Hindu Crossword 9764 and making sure the solvers don't get frustrated

)
The Hindu has some discrepancies in today's published puzzle. Before they put up the corrections on a later date (when it would be of no use to the crossword solvers), I am taking advantage of this forum to bring them to the notice of the solvers.
The puzzle is supposed to have a preamble as below:
Seven solutions in this puzzle were red once upon a time. They are not defined any further.
10 Ac. is supposed to read as : The hill Al scrambled up in a poor condition (3,6) instead of The hill A1 scrambled up in a poor condition (3,6)
I would also like to clarify that the errors were solely the responsibility of The Hindu and not a slip on the part of the compiler.

Thank you for the welcome. So, if I understand you correctly:
1. Each person is allowed to post up to 4 answers before 10 AM IST
2. After 10 AM IST, anyone is free to post all the answers.
Please do let me know if I am correct in this interpretation.
