Bow down before me, puny mortals (except maybe Ian from Memory Bank) for I have completed the Grauniad crossword!

I picked up my paper at lunchtime and it confirmed that my answers to yesterday’s cryptic crossword were correct. I did it on the train back from Bristol with no help from dictionaries, Google or online crossword solvers. At this rate, I might manage such a feat again early in 2005.

It’s Araucaria today so I have little hope of progressing beyond the two clues I’ve solved so far.
