Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Fukkin Love crosswords, Micky! Can't do those cryptic ones, 'mind. But, nothing like blowing your head off, trying to figure one out, eh? I used to have a weekly set to with the barmaid at my local. There's a paper has three or four in. We'd spend the afternoon working through them. Then, if anything was left? We'd take copies home and call eachother if we cracked anything! Haven't done one in ages now. Haven't seen her in ages either. She could be dead now, for all I know. Had cancer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
