Thanks, Buddy. I really enjoyed that. There were some great clues, some fun clues, and an excellent mixture of ... things, devices.

Thanks Buddy, great work. I particularly enjoyed 3d!

Thanks, glad you liked it. (Translation: "bump").

Thanks, Buddy, enjoyed the puzzle. A few times I questioned a definition, but when I looked in Chambers - sure enough, they were all there :))

I thought “Scottish jackdaw” was very “Azed-esque” ;-)

Thank you Buddy! Good fun

Why? If they are in the dictionary surely they are fair play, depending on your target audience and the level of the puzzle of course.
