Guardian Crossword - Monday

[joggerjayne]

I need help with today's Guardian crossword.

I don't want to actually DO the crossword ... I just want to fill in the grid.

I feel much better when the grid is filled in.

Could someone tell me the answers to all the clues, please.

Morning, lover x

[redman41]

If I was a Guardian reader JJ I would help you out but I'm sure your brain is as good as mine !

[kayakamina]

Sarky!

I know who you referring to.

Hi, Kayak.

No one in particular.

[kayakamina]

Today's crossword is set by Rufus who is considered to be the most friendly on the Guardian team.

[joggerjayne]

Yes, Rufus seems to get most Monday slots.

Starting the week off kindly, perhaps ?

[Bbbananas]

I would, but I don't have time....

Is your new avatar pic actually you JJ? Nice legs...... ;-)

[kayakamina]

Ps

If you were a regular on Q&P Crosswords you'd know we have a lady questioner who has found the way to solve the cryptic crossword.
1) A posting saying ' I' m just starting & need help with these (8) clues.
2) Using the letters from those 8 , ask about another 8 by saying' I'm making progress but need a gentle shove'.
3) As her crossword is three quarters complete, ask for a final push and as she has most letters in place she gets lots of replies.
4) Finalise the grid, post off and hope to win and then tell all her friends.

QED

[joggerjayne]

No, it's not me, Salla.

I wish it was.

Maybe 15 years ago !

[joggerjayne]

LOL Kayak ...

Without really doing any of the clues herself ??

=0D

I hardly ever manage the Saturday crossword. Too ofetn, it's set by "him" !

(although I think this weekend's was set by Brummie)

[Slapshot]

The Guardian.....come on JJ get the telegraph toughie or the times, guardian is a 5 minute job!!

[joggerjayne]

Maybe on a Monday, slapshot.

The rest of the week, it will keep me going all day.

If it's set by Araucaria, I no longer even bother starting it.

[Slapshot]

Araucaria are pretty good but there always seems to be something thematic about them, find that you're laughing

[joggerjayne]

I can't get on his wavelength.

[dzug2]

The Guardian give you a (premium rate) number to ring and they will tell you the answers

Or just wait 24 hours......

[joggerjayne]

That's silly.

They might as well just print the answers on another page if people are going to do that.
