Private Eye ( Cyclops / 757 ) Redacted Normality

Sun July 23, 2023 at 10:22 amSat July 22, 2023 at 1:00 am by beermagnet

I had trouble trying to choose a title for this blog.  There are so many adjectives in the answers compared to the number of nouns, and many of those adjectives lend themselves to … Read more >>

Cyclops 756 – Redundant Manifesto

Sat July 8, 2023 at 12:01 am by mc_rapper67

Another fortnight, another Cyclops, and another mix of politicians and celebs (sub-lebs?) in Cyclops’ sights…although, thinking about it, how does a one-eyed giant use a gun-sight…surely binocular vision is de rigueur for that?…

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 755 ) Public Order Disaster

Mon June 26, 2023 at 8:28 pmSat June 24, 2023 at 1:00 am by beermagnet

As is usual from Cyclops the clue surfaces are at their story-telling best, and in the usual Private Eye style giving the usual suspects a knocking. Solving was, in retrospect,  usual, but only … Read more >>

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 753 ) Sunny Subversive

Sat May 27, 2023 at 11:10 pmSat May 27, 2023 at 6:00 am by beermagnet

Another burst of salacious school days humour and political satirising to brighten our fortnight. This time with added references to an old-time glam-rocker.  It’s as if the puzzle was specifically constructed to someone … Read more >>

Cyclops 752 – Pig-headed Intruder

Sat May 13, 2023 at 12:01 am by mc_rapper67

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 751 ) Hideous Ordeal

Mon May 1, 2023 at 1:13 amSat April 29, 2023 at 1:00 am by beermagnet

A pleasurable ordeal maybe. No surprise that in an Eye puzzle we find ignoramuses having orgasms, party members that turn out to be dildos, and a whole ensemble spilling semen.  But possibly the … Read more >>

Cyclops 750 – Austerity Sadist

Sat April 15, 2023 at 9:16 pmSat April 15, 2023 at 12:01 am by mc_rapper67

Sat March 25, 2023 at 12:01 am by beermagnet

You haven’t fallen asleep and woken up on Monday.  From now on the Eye blog will now appear on Saturday. One of those that I thought was going to be a doddle, then … Read more >>

Private Eye blogging day to change

Mon March 13, 2023 at 11:04 am by Admin

With effect from Cyclops puzzle 749, the Private Eye blog will appear on Saturday rather than Monday. Saturday makes more sense since the closing date/time for entries is (presumably) midnight on Fridays.

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 747 ) Ironical reference

Mon February 27, 2023 at 6:00 am by beermagnet

Last issue’s puzzle was said to be a touch morose.  At least this one didn’t invoke the ghost of Trump or Johnson.  However it did include some more minor sprites like Penny Mordaunt … Read more >>

Private Eye (Cyclops/745) – Crisis scenario

Mon January 30, 2023 at 6:00 am by beermagnet

What do you get if you cross Rishi Sunak with Mike Pence? A Riski Sikspence?  Maybe not, but you certainly get some way to filling-in this grid. This was at about medium difficulty … Read more >>
