In my other career as a writer (a bit of an in joke in black humour, I have not even written anything for ages and never had any of humour (which is my real target) published) I have had some good news. The crossword I write for a guitar mag has been re-commissioned for another run. The only bad news is it is with the proviso I make it a bit easier as it is too “intellectual”. Not a problem, the clues were a bit Telegraph for a hobby magazine (though I maintain not as bad as the Radio Times which I find a right git to finish some weeks). However, a bit of a pain as my wife (who proof reads them) has always said they were too hard and is in “I told you so” mode. Looking back I find:
