Not sure that this counts as culture … Does anyone else waste time doing puzzles. I used to do crosswords, especially in the days when I commuted to work. Now I am an obsessive doer of Killer Sudoku – so much so that when I stood up after doing a particular tricky one, my left foot had gone completely to sleep and I nearly fell over, spraining it quite badly.

Z for effect = said for effect

We also had:

N for mation or
N for a penny and
J for cakes

I can also read sbagran's message - someone once wrote it in my autograph book!

Several wrote it in mine- one of them got it wrong so I don't think she really understood it.
Yes I remember J for cakes and N for a penny and for mation- and I think it was S for Williams until Ms Rantzen came along. Probably someone else before that.

I love cryptic crosswords and sudoku and used to spend hours in the morning doing them, until I started Gnet and now I spend the rest of the day on here!! I haven't done any housework for months!! Just call me Quentin Crisp (or Nanacrispy! grin

My message was obviously correct and we are all VERY CLEVER GRANDMAS!
The answer to my puzzle that I posted last night is .....

Too wise you are, (YYUR)
Too wise you be. (YYUB)
I see you are (ICUR)
Two wise for me! (YY4ME)

I really should get out more - ah well off to the cryptic in the local rag! grin
