You said earlier 'This crossword is Sir Lancelot for the 18th Dec' and now you're saying it is todays?

The answers you have given have NOT been asked on THIS thread so there is no need for them.

[Baldric]

All I said was 2012, so it's a valid question from me, maybe Robbie needs thinking time!

[Captain2]

Mamya has, of course, explained much more clearly than me.

Sorry, Bernie- it's just that the way things normally work is someone asks for help with specific questions and we try to help them. Some people don't like to be given other answers too as it can spoil the fun of finishing it by oneself, and the threads will get very long and messy if people posts answers to a selection of other clues.
If you do a search on Sir Lancelot you may find others you can help with

Who's Bernie? :)

[factor-fiction]

Oops- sorry Robbie- i don't know why I called you Bernie!

[Baldric]

Preferably ^^^ this years!

[Robbie1]

So why do people ask for help in solving the crossword. What is the purpose of this site if it's not for that

[Robbie1]

To Scorpiojo

Please see the question from charley Farley which I've copied and pasted. Don't see the problem as to why you say he hasn't asked...

Imagine you had a crossword in front of you and needed 1 across to get started.

You ask that,then someone puts all the answers up - wouldn't you then want to throw the paper in the bin?


Conversely, you only need a couple to finish - so you don't need all the ones you already have.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes - Charley wanted help with those four clues.

[scorpiojo]

Hi Robbie,

Yes, he did post those clues, but it was last week and you answered them on this thread, not the thread they were asked on.

[Captain2]

I think I'm going to have a rather large Port and go for a lie down in a darkened room.

[scorpiojo]

Robbie,

I have now realised today is the 18th, sorry. My point is that the questions should have been answered on the same thread they were asked on.

[Mamyalynne]

I have virtually limitless patience when explaining the unfathomable usually - I have just had a very large Vodka.



Robbie - you are either very very helpful or being a bit obtuse.

I shall give you the benefit of the doubt.

[Captain2]

Jo, Robbie initially said 'This crossword is Sir Lancelot for the 18th DEC'

[scorpiojo]

Large Port, please?

[Robbie1]

It is the Sir Lancelots crossword in the Mail on Sunday dated 18th Jan 2015 not last weeks as you have suggested. I have the paper in front of me and also I didn't contribute any answers for last weeks crossword...

[factor-fiction]

I think we're all getting a bit confused now.

On this thread Charley-farley asked for answers to 9d, 21a, 19d and 18d. These were answered within a coupleof minutes.

Robbie, you then gave answers to several other clues where answers hadn't been asked for here - eg
16 Down... Estrange.
1 Down... Mildness.
3 Down...Socratic method.
4 Down...Easeful.
17 Across... Roman Numerals.

Anyway, it's just a misunderstanding and Robbie was trying to be helpful. You'll get used to how this site works, Robbie
