I liked it! I thought the clues were very reasonable. And when Pervinca guessed the password, by what I still think a stroke of magnificent inspiration, a bunch more clues fell down. I think it was just the last clue that gave trouble - and considering "pearl" was one of the earliest elements to be guessed, the problem was clearly not with the clue itself, but that the answer didn't occur to us. Speaking for myself, that is ever my struggle with HOME clues, which only means that one of these days I will have to read BOLT. I liked the password, and the theme. It is so creative and off the beaten path, and I am still amazed with Pervinca nailing it with just a couple letters and non-standard answers (no Tom Bom yet!).
