Constructor's Note
From the Mssng Vwls round of Only Connect - "Fifteen letter words using each vowel once" (Otherwise normal)
Tips appreciated to help this Texan keep taking estrogen! Warning - puzzles often crass, anarchic, and approaching NC-17 territory.

    Cool gimmick! I got most of it, just a few squares tripped me up

      Thanks! Got the idea thanks to a Series 17 episode of Only Connect. Can't seem to find which.

      Great puzzle as usual. Loved the clue for ETON even though it was my downfall. And I adore the 90 degree symmetry.

        If I had the concept of a cyclone before recently, I'd be calling this grid a Tempest. But this needed to be a theme because it was just too good to pass up.
