Fao - The KM Players

[seekeerz]

We're off to a slightly dodgy start this New Year - and a Very Happy New Year to you all, before we go any further - it would seem the printed crossword in today's paper is a repeat of last Saturday and we may well have to wait till someone ventures out into the white-out to collect their paper - thinking about it, this too may not help either !!

If anyone has anything different, please post or we may have to return to our 'holiday' for another week !!

Thanks Steff, and a very Happy New Year to you also.

We will have to wait and see, but I'm not venturing out at this hour even though the snow has virtually all but gone in my neck of the woods.

[seekeerz]

The 'witching hour' is rapidly approaching - while I'd rather nobody went out in the white stuff, if anyone does have a different version of the crossword in their paper, please post the words under this and we'll play on from there - thanks, skz

[Elspeth]

Since last week's crossword was only available to subscribers, I wouldn't be surprised if they repeat it this week on paper to be fair to the many others who do not subscribe/do not have a computer. But we need someone who has seen both versions to be sure. Happy New Year to everyone.

Did not see last Saturday's on line version but today's KM crossword
is OK & as there was no Herculis last Monday we should be on a level playing field.
One of the clues is a very long quotation & I haven't worked out the answers yet.
Happy New Year to everyone......sorry about the cricket!!! (little liar)

[seekeerz]

Ooooo ... I was just waiting for that to rear its ugly head !!!

[seekeerz]

eccles - what is the number of the crossword you have ?? if its 12,346, that is the same as last Saturdays - there were no shaded clues hence no competition and as Elspeth says it was only available to subscribers
