Hmm – I was going to say I had spotted a gremlin in the maxi clueword of no 72 Holiday clueword but I did do some research and find you are correct. To me forego (the across clue at the 7th level below the MAXI caption) has always meant “to go without” (to forego [more…]
I would just like to say thank you for the various prizes I have won over the years, the latest being for winning the Stinker competition in Colossus 217. The Stinker, the Demon and the cryptics are my favourite competitions. I always look forward to the crossword books coming through my letter box and [more…]
Thank you for the Wordygig tester “WABOOM” – ’twas hard to find the correct definition.
Well done.

Also, I’ve wanted to ask this for [more…]
Thank you for the years of enjoyment and challenge your crosswords give me. When I first started I couldn’t finish a simple one, now the first puzzle I turn to is the cryptic – they are fun and funny. I must admit,I find the Baffler more difficult than the Stinker, but I eventually get [more…]

I was very happy to receive ‘Beyond the Sea’ CD and love listening to Sinatra and others of the fifties.
I was amazed, but delighted, to see you had printed my list of authors and titles and the anecdote of my childhood near Mackay. Last thing I expected, as I felt it was all far [more…]

Thank you very much. [more…]
