Good Morning, AB-Linkers! This is Sheila (aka slaney) � and apparently dubbed by crofter as Lady Slaney. That's OK as a working title, but I DO have moments when I'm far from ladylike. One such was when I was somewhat taken aback to find myself Links Setter for the month of December. Two years ago I stumbled across this site when looking for an answer to a DTGK clue. I'd been in the habit of idly jotting down my guesses for the Herculis link words, wondering as I did whether anyone else was crazy enough to do this. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found that crofter & ShamrockBlue had formalised this into a game � and the rest, as they say, is history. Worse was to follow! I started to take a serious interest in cryptic crosswords � Beginning with The Spectator and Mephisto, moving up to EV and the Inquisitor, and even the (very) odd stab at the Listener. This story spells out one long downward spiral of addiction! My children remain resolutely underwhelmed "All that time and effort, and you've won a PEN?"
