No wonder I went off the Daily Mail. It's Meant to be a Daily, Not a Weekender !!

I was an avid Daily Mail cruciverbalist for many a year (on here also under another name as a regular parser) For me the Mail went from an average Daily 1 hr slot of fun, to a challenge that would encroach upon my day as a chore. I still work as I'm not retired and do not have the time. Hence my weekender statement. It's a daily for gods sake. Let it be fun on a daily basis, not a chore. I believe that I have at least some cryptic knowledge. But without devoting my whole day to a Daily challenge. I think iv'e just said what I intended to say to be fair !

[retrocop]

Does that mean you think it is becoming more difficult?

[klazomaniac]

YOU'RE BETTER OFF IN POLITICS RETROCOP. I FIND YOU MORE FUNNY THERE :-)

No need to be so rude. It was a genuine enquiry. I have found the Mail to be more taxing recently but then I don't give in and call it a day so readily.

And if you read my statement retro, I have an hour a day for my cryptic pleasure. So I found your statement rude.
I'm happy for you that you have the spare time :-)
