Me too, petallus. I do it on line as well as the Independent one. Both are still free. I am stuck on one clue in today's Everyman crossword in the Observer which is, I think, the easiest of the cryptic crosswords.

I can't do cryptic but I do the Guardian Quick Crossword every day. It's a ritual.

????no!

mudskipper Mon 22-Oct-12 21:50:47

by the way, was that boring enough?

mudskipper Mon 22-Oct-12 21:50:22

scuse me, old and boring people, I won't argue about 'boring' but as for 'old', I don't really believe that everyone here is old enough to qualify because old is when you can't do crosswords because of all the words that you have forgotten. Yesterday I could not think of the word 'encore'. Today I remembered it. Too late, I have already thrown that crossword in the recycle bin.
Ah, now plz be patient while I think of the next word...

I have put a real, proper crossword clue in Lils Bar.

Cross words - on Gransnet? Perish the thought shock

jeni Thu 18-Oct-12 12:21:43

What are you muttering about damon I really think you should stop smoking that stuff that looks like maple leaves!

Ana Thu 18-Oct-12 11:50:28

We certainly would be boring if we talked of little but Monsoon and Apple, Daman! hmm

Daman Thu 18-Oct-12 11:41:09

Hello. Cryptic crosswords have homes everywhere i spose.
Is Oldie Borum dull?
Why is that?.
Is it because it is assumed to be a mans thing and the multi tasking renaissance women of elsewhere on Gransnet cant be arsed with talk of sheds and crosswords and Harris tweed and and shooting stick shops. They talk of little but Monsoon and Apple and are not boring

Ah well, he disappeared for a bit recently - some self-indulgent nonsense about having a massive stroke... so we're happy he's here at all!

Anagram Thu 06-Sept-12 16:49:31

Captured the spirit of what? Oldie Borum? confused

JO4 Thu 06-Sept-12 16:46:38

Hello again Charlotte.

I don't think Arena is too happy.

CharlotteOldie Thu 06-Sept-12 16:39:37

Congratulations Arena. You've captured the spirit perfectly.

JO4 Fri 31-Aug-12 10:25:42

You need to shout for your Charlotte. smile

Arena Fri 31-Aug-12 08:22:41

Here we are in something called Borum
A very apt name for this forum
Your postings aren't read
And it has to be said
Most members just simple ignore 'em

sad

JO4 Wed 29-Aug-12 22:50:04

grin

Ariadne Wed 29-Aug-12 22:47:20

Can't think why not. smile

JO4 Wed 29-Aug-12 22:41:50

Do you know, I was only this morning thinking "Nobody posts on the Oldie Borum thread anymore".

How strange is that? shock

Ariadne Wed 29-Aug-12 22:37:20

Oh, what?

Arena Wed 29-Aug-12 21:19:32

Not much happens here, is there............................confused

Arenax Sat 28-Jul-12 15:00:42

Ah Scorps imagine finding you here...

More fiendish? No, I wouldn't!...............blush

feetlebaum Sat 28-Jul-12 13:20:59

I used to vie to finish first when you started to put them up on the old Oldie forum.. but, you devious dog, they've become more difficult as time has passed, and I can't cope, I tell you, I can't cope any more...
