What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).

    Bah, stuck on 8 across and 13 down. Suspect I’ll kick myself on the latter.

    Ah ha! Got them all. Really should’ve had the Forum thing more easily, and the tyres one just needs thinking through. Quite a lot in my case.

    15 minutes to do all but one, followed by an hour of Close Encounters of the Third Kind style mania while I ate lunch and got back to work thinking about the last clue.

    Stuck on the orienteering one. Not sure if it’s cryptic like the powerhouse & annual tyre clues or the actual name of an event.

    The orienteering one is a bit cryptic. Think of an outdoor clothing brand sponsor.

    You will kick yourself if I tell you what the annual tyre answer is 🙂

    Cheers- is this a new type of clue- lateral cryptic?

    It really is annoying that once you have completed it you can never see it again.
