    Only Vasant's comment and a spam at 11'O clock!
    Where have all gone?
    We had sync & needless a couple of days back- it seems there are some common favorites.
    3D- hip from in?
    We had 'elevenses' as a meal and today 'cream tea'- we seem to be getting on to a diet!

    I am very much here to participate. NEEDLESS is becoming tooo commonplace a clue among the setters.Don't ask me, Didn't like SCENE. TEST BAN is an unusual. We need more of such.

    Riled by the heat here in April ! Very FEBRILE!!!
