The New "Modern Lingo" Times Cryptic Crossword

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
The Times has today published the first of a brand new style of cryptic crossword in which several of the older style conventions have been cast away. The idea is to make the crossword more accessible to a younger generation. The amusing thing is that this makes it much harder for folk like Simon :)

Prepare to witness a middle-age man have no clue about modern lingo!!

The puzzle is available to play on The Times crossword club website (which is behind their paywall):
