Wlliamseal, glad I could help. I've done the same thing, forgotten about the name of the setter!

Hi again williamseal, glad you got the jersey sorted.
Pondered = revolved with m (money) replacing the first v.

Thanks ginge
A good puzzle in the end.

I think I have done something different to you. I can see the most left band member in a straight line, which I assume is the intention, but there is a cluster of the same 6 letters in that area, and if you join them, there is a handle bar shape. This might be an amazing co-incidence.

Jigjag, Brendan

I'm never very good at these 'images', but I have two fairly decent circles, filled appropriately. I've got those and the three lines and the name on the top - that's my lot.

Hi Jigjag, hi Malone,

I can sort of see the handlebar shape, but I'm sicking with the vertical line due to the pure symmetry of the picture.

Looking forward to this week's puzzles, now.

Brendan, it must be my visualising that's at fault! I've got all the same stuff as you mentioned in your earlier post - lines, circles, the frontman's name... Maybe it's because I didn't do any colouring!

Hi Malone,

There's no doubt that colouring in helps bring the the picture to life. I try to use as much colour as I can, especially when drawing out any endgame the setter had in mind. In the Tennyson poem crossword I drew the "jaws of death" and "mouth of "hell" in red marker, and the "six hundred" in blue, and it makes all the difference - or maybe I just like bright colours:-)

Brendan, thanks. I love your enthusiasm - but I don't think I'll ever share it! So long as I know what it is I'm representing, that's enough for me. I was impressed with how the Tennyson one worked, it was so well-designed - but I wouldn't have appreciated it any more in colour.

Malone

Last week you suggested that this EV would not be as "punworthy" as the "Shorts" one. I have to admit that you were right. Being a jazz fan, I thought that it would be taylor-made for me. But even with the mercury rising, I stuggled. However at church the deacon explained what the French phrases meant and I was able to complete it. May this Sunday's be as good as the last three please.

Brendan

I know you are right because of the lovely symmetry, but amazing that the handlebar exists. Did you come across them in your band days?
