Never knowingly undersolved

I felt smaller than David in attacking this challenge from Goliath. I managed to get there in the end, but the parsing for a couple of clues evaded me, for which I turned to Gaufrid for help. Thanks Goliath, for raising crossword hell.
This is the fourth Picaroon puzzle in a row that has fallen to me to blog – absolutely no complaints from me but I suspect there may be from some of my fellow-bloggers. … Read more >>

Rather hard today, but I suppose it is Tuesday and we have to be prepared for this. Plenty of good clues here, which often didn’t yield initially but afterwards were obvious enough.
