I battle with it every week. Solve it completely maybe one in 4 times,
unfortunately.

I've been another fan of his, but a few years have passed since I let
my GW subscription run out. Is he still going?

Still going strong, and as witty in his clueing as ever. Other regulars
are Paul, Shed, Orlando, ... maybe one more these days.
I often don't get time to do the puzzle, and when I miss a few weeks I
get a lot worse. Conversely, if I do sit down to it several weeks in a
row, I improve a lot - you really do get rusty as Paul says.
I prefer the Guardian crossword to the Times.

Awfully impressive ... if setting those crosswords were anything but
difficult, his abilities would never have become renowned in the first
place.

Yes, I've experienced that, too. On long journeys, I'll bring an
Araucaria book, and after some persistence, eventually things start to
click. By the way, an older person I know tells me that whenever he
does some Sudoko, he weakens his cryptic crossword abilities ...
wonder if the neurologists have looked into that. :-)
