But definitely come back, and feel free to request an explanation for an answer to a clue. Usually by Monday everyone has had a crack at it (I usually start attempting it on Saturday or Sunday with a couple of mates over coffee) and is lauding something, perplexed by something else, and, ever so rarely, calling DA to account for a shoddy clue.

Working together in a Sydney office, we too enjoy the mixed blessings of a DA on Friday. As we were trying to reverse engineer one of his answers today (because you have to hate it when you get it right but can't see why, don't you?) one of us, I think it was Andy, wondered whether there was a DA group online discussing exactly the same thing. And here you are! We've bookmarked your blog, if you don't mind, and may visit again next week. (As of midday we only had 1ac and 2dn to go, but we do put in a collective effort - do you all work alone and compare later?) We are RL, AG, FT and MS.
