6/10 (not in 3 mins obviously) got 2 lines quite readily but had to concede defeat and therefore played the grid out. Omly had people from countries (too obvious to be true, and I was correct and thinking game re asp but nothing else fitted as far as I could see) the flash of light and recognised rag , world domination!then. very happy with my score. thank you crypticsooz.

Bit harder this time, sooz, but worth every second. Completed it just before I ran out of time the second time. Once I realised ABBA wasn't "ish" it was all over.
Thank you, as always.

Nice one

Are you Soozy transformed?
I’ll need more than 3 mins if you continue in this vein!

3/10 super grid
Thanks for posting

5/10 which I’m happy with! Brilliant grid. Really enjoying the cryptic grids so keep them coming!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, it fuels my fire :)
Yes Primmy it's me, I just thought by putting cryptic it saves the ones who don't like them from bothering.

Not a bad grid, my only quibble is that you have to rather mispronounce the french word for the clue to work.
