Crossword Corner

[roydo]

A few of us have come out as crossword solvers and setters. (Cant remember the proper name for them)

Personally, I always do the Telegraph cryptic, and the Sunday Times cryptic. There are plenty of crossword forums, Big Dave has already been referenced, but my own interest is the amount of GOT references that crop up in clues and answers.

So, dont be shy. Post ace/funny clues. Feel free to share the tricks of the trade, and ask anything to do with the secret codes and "rules" that make solving cryptic crosswords less bewildering the more you know.
