Their job is tough- compiling. How can we whine and whinge about difficulty in solving? The tougher they compile, the more interesting it is.<br /><br /> The last two days have been real Bheja fries. Better cracking the clues than burning crackers-- saves on noise and air pollution. <br /><br />Incidentally, I have observed two peculiarities in Coimbatore.<br /><br /> Why is that all chemist shops are juxtaposed to sweet shops and bakeries? As PGW would say: Hog away to piggy glory for tomorrow is yet to come? Eat today all the sweets you can and visit the chemist shops next? Chemist shops are owned by sweeteries and bakeries? I call them Fakeries. <br /><br /> Secondly, why is that every second male sports a moustache ? of one form or the other? Is it the sine qua non to be a Coimbatore male? <br /><br /> There are no papers tomorrow. Any diversion suggestions or offers?<br /><br /> I have a picturised cryptic crossword-- large and complicated. Any one interested in giving it a go? Will I be violating any copy right by sharing it?raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-3696871228573089142011-10-26T12:13:14.313+05:302011-10-26T12:13:14.313+05:3024 Down - I thought grass is 'Alfalfa'.24 Down - I thought grass is 'Alfalfa'.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507256986140206852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-72685640010411012102011-10-26T12:11:37.629+05:302011-10-26T12:11:37.629+05:30Winterbottom!!
