Squarebear, if you havent memorised the grids of all yesterdays crosswords what use are you?

[squarebear]

Just to explain: "his" is the plural of "hi"

Jumbo 958 27 Down the clue HIS TICKETS ARRIVE BEARING GOOD WISHES (9,5) -R-E-I-G-/C-R-S

oOOPS!

[factor-fiction]

Brilliant- I would never have spotted that meaning of HIS (=greetings). Does that mean tickets= cards?

[grasscarp]

Dont go yet Square. I've missed you, and I'm sure you will come in useful.

[ichkeria]

Sorry if the previous response was unclear:
his = greetings
tickets = cards
So, GREETINGS CARDS may be said to be "his tickets" ...

[squarebear]

The only place I'm going is to bed in a few minutes.

[grasscarp]

I'll join you soon! LOL

[Mamyalynne]

People will talk

[squarebear]

ooh! lucky me :-)
A late Christmas present eh? hehe!

[Mamyalynne]

Why not

[Petanqueman]

Thanks for all your help. Clever s#ds!!!!!

[TheWinner]

I don't get it.
How does his mean greetings?

[boxtops]

Probably plural of Hi (hi + S)?

[squarebear]

hi means greeting.
If you make that plural:
hiS means greetingS
