Good morning everyone - here we are already at the third week of April - goodness, doesn't time fly !!
So far the new format seems to be meeting with most people's approval and it's very nice to welcome back some old faces
The idea is still to find the matching links with this morning's shaded words, which by the way are -
OLIVE YORK EMPORER UNION
but there's no need to rush in with the first thing that comes into your head, instead take time to reflect, consider, whatever and then put in the first thing that came into your head !!!
As usual, no limit on word lengths, the contest stays open till midnight Sunday and then I come along with the all-new scoring system and hopefully distribute lots and lots of points.
It's coming up to launch time, so Good Luck everyone and fingers crossed this doesn't get lost in translation
Good morning to you all. A bright and sunny morning here in Essex. I'll go with
Olive branch
York Minster
Purple Emperor (not Emporer - as in Intro.)
Union Jack
To Cliffyg: I know you've been doing this thing for ages and I'm a newcomer of a few months only, but please don't give up because of imagined criticism; I nearly stopped before I'd started (if that makes sense) because someone seemed to imply that I shouldn't have changed my answer after I'd seen the crossword. I decided that it was too much fun to abandon and that I was being too sensitive. Not much success since then but what the heck?
black olive
York stone
Emperor concerto
credit union
To Cliffyg. I wasn't here last weekend so didn't see Strix's teasing, but if he teased you it's only fair that you tease us for a bit! Keep us in suspense - just don't forget that the entries close before 7pm on Sunday!
Olive Oil (or Oyl)
York Minster
Emperor Penguin
Re Union
Steff ~ I have had the most ingenious idea! How about when you post the words, for us poor mites who don't get the Telegraph maybe you could post the clues that produced those words too. After all, you have nothing to do all day except sit around watching racing!!
Ok - I'm off to join the peg leg owl in the sin bin!! :0)
