Brilliant. Loved the two kings' groups in particular

Fab!

A challenging and enjoyable grid. i didn't get the "Waterloo" group connection, but it's inspired. Thanks!

Lovely stuff. No piece of cake either though my hangover didn't help..

I thought this grid was superb and liked the links very much and they really made me think. Thank you for a great puzzle.

Thanks for a medium level grid - just my level! When I got it I laughed out loud at "Privy council" :-)

Sitting here in Portugal on my hols overlooking the Atlantic sipping cheap cold wine, thanks for the comments you've added to my day...
...just off to the lavatory now though.

Blues I had you down for the Barmy Army but never for a fan of musical kitsch so I assume you are there not to listen but to sing our entry in the Eurovision. Try gargling with something stronger than wine (I believe the gravelly Tom Waits sound is in this year) and keep moving - you'll be much harder to hit.

Feeling flushed with success

Toast I came here to watch The Blues in their European final (rugby) that was played last night in Bilbao. They won, yahoo, which is a small comfort because due to poor planning and rubbishy map reading skills I'm not even in the right country... Ne'r mind there's always Eurovision.

Nice one. Tough but fair.

Missed the toilet, as usual. The trouble and strife's gonna have a cow.

Solved the wall in 35 seconds but the toilet category got away from me. Good one!

good puzzle

Didn't accept kyphosis for the first category, which is the proper, medical, non-offensive term for this condition...

@Alan didn't accept "hump" either, so shrug :)

Loved the grid

Wow, this grid was on target! Unlike me at arsenal

Very tricky, couldn't get a single row.

Very fun!
