well done GP

you are taking the piss out of my clues

i've been trying the guardian online xwords recently
some of them give me a god awful headache.....too hard for me

well done

i was quite proud of that clue

On my lap right now is the 8th edition of the torygraph's big book of cryptics. The Garundian's I find to be off my wavelength. Would be interesting to try a group session on solving one of theirs...

do a thread
