You're welcome.

[mazie]

How did you do that shooty?

[penelope2]

I'd be interested as well shooty.

[shooty]

I have completed the same crossword today. It has two sets of clues. I explain the cryptic to Tricia as to help her understand how to break the clues down. This is how i was taught by my brother some many moons ago. A nd i'm still learning today. : )

[mazie]

I thought it was from the Times 2 GK crossword on Saturday

[shooty]

Todays sun

[Baldric]

OMG,
a S** reader.

[penelope2]

Thanx shooty. But the 'Sun' !!!!

[shooty]

I don't read the papers. My parents buy this and i do the crossword. I buy the DM when i feel like it as it is now my prefferable choice of challange. Don't read that neither. Hopefully one day i shall be buying the times to challenge myself, but i'm not ready for that yet. And i won't read that either. hope this has cleared things up.....

^^^
You can tell he's not a Sun reader...
He can read!

[shooty]

Lol wyedeyed : ). Lets not forget this is Tricia's thread, and her choice of paper. Lets not put her off. : )

[WyeDyed]

Humble apologies...
[gets coat]
;0)

[shooty]

[WyeDyed]

To be honest, I used to take the Sun in my teens because it had the two speed crossword, which is how I learned to do cryptics.

[shooty]

Exactly. This is why i post the cryptic answers in Tricia's threads to aid her at her own pace, so she will hopefully progress onto the ambrosia of crosswords.
: )

Sorry tricia, my mother reads the sun and believes every word in it! No point in arguing, apparently the mirror and guardian are not proper newspapers!

[craft1948]

Well the Guardian certainly isn't.
