Hi Tommy,
Another great puzzle, that I really raced through at my fastest pace yet, but then came up two short. I was very disappointed with myself. I missed BALOR (Lookup of the Day!) which didn't help me sorting out my DERRIERE. I even suspected an anagram of "rider" & "Ree", yet missed it. Ah well.
My notes along the way:
COUNTIES: classic clue structure, loved it.
OFFALY: A favorite. Very topical.
TENNIS: also classic, very nice.
DUNGARVAN: Clue of the Day and a real beaut. Classic structure that reads very well, and has the Irish twist. Just lovely.
DATIVE: Runner up for Clue of the Day!
ALL AT ONCE: a well-spotted anagram, I thought.
ANGORA: you educated me as always. Didn't know there were rabbits and cats as well as the goats!
VOLTS: and there it is ... today's physiclue! and a nice one it is too.
Keep 'em coming, Tommy.
