Um, how does anyone feel about 5A? Something inside me rebels against being told who and who not to regard as "the enemy", especially by a crossword setter. I don't care if the "enemy" in question is a group as pernicious as the Taliban, or the KKK or whotever. I don't think this is the right place to be putting what really amounts to a political opinion.

Can anyone help me with 22d? S_r_b_e. i am still learning how to do cryptics but enjoy the extra challenge of the genius. Any suggestions for other good free on line corsswords would alos be approecuiated.

First of all, your b is wrong.Subject of carol - htink of a Dickens book. Then we have raised 16 - your answer of 16 should be EGO, then "killers" - think whales. You should get it with this.

Hi AJT - I was thinking Tolkien baddies when I completed that one - Whale connection fits better though

Hello Ixion - I don't know how to confess this, but I've never been able to read "Lord of the Rings" -not keen on fantasy.

Read it as a kid(not as soppy as the film) - did have to throw in the towel with The Silmarillion though!

I've known people who read it every year! My preferred reading might be cookery books - or a well- written detective novel.
