Congrats to ixion and ta for the vote . Thanks paul , and cheers chris and ginge for the mention .
@busby - whilst I do like a good surface reading and a clue that is fair to solve without any crossers , sometimes it just comes down to what's on my mind as my fingers hover over the keyboard .
... and of course humour
...or if someone's new
... or if they haven't had a vote for ages
... or if they support Newcastle United
...or if they remind me of Frasier
and on it goes :)
