    Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

    I agree with pretty much all Andy's points here. And I think "Milan train" works just fine and is the best of the theme so far.

    "Train" was the answer I had for Wyatt's too but I'm also not entirely sure why.

      Having said all that, Jason's clue was just fine. When I got the answer I knew it was right, and was the only possible solution - and that's by far the most important criterion for a good crossword clue.

        The brow is furrowed over the Gilgamesh one, however.

          I've got it (at least, I'm 99% sure I have, despite not actually understanding a significant part of it). I'll get a clue up soon.

                I've got it but I'm buggered if I can actually write clues.

                Edit - that was to the previous post. Oops.

                      Er, I'm sorry, but it wasn't train! I've had a meeting all afternoon, too. Not sure what to do now. Might be best to carry on?

                      Further letters (and I think you'll get it now, otherwise I'm gonna get mediaeval on your asses).

                      T--GN

                      Incidentally, there's an error in today's Guardian crossword, I'm pretty sure. 1 down should be (5,3,7) rather than (15). Poor show.

                        Ah! Never come across that spelling before.

                        I'd vote for carrying on the main thread from Wyatt's clue, leaving the "train", er, sidetrack as a brach line that just terminates.

                        I'll go with the majority opinion of course.

                                          I got it hours ago but then had to go out shopping. The sort of thing that can happen on Saturdays.
