I Feel Cheated

[Caran]

I know this should be in crosswords but I feel so mad I don't care. Yours mag crosswords. Always have to photocopy grid as two separate crosswords fit the grid, cryptic and quick. So I photocopied grid, did cryptic puzzle, just started on the quick one , did a few and realised they were the same answers as the cryptic puzzle. Looked at the instructions and realised they had changed it this month, both related to same puzzle. Grrrrr.

I feel your pain, Caran! However, if I may respectfully suggest, if that's the biggest problem you have in 2014 you'll be OK...

[Caran]

Point taken jeffa. I'm a crossialcoholic. If I had read the instructions first I wouldn't be so mad, I wasted copy paper and my time by starting to do it. That's what made me mad, but in the stream of things I get what you mean.

[anneasquith]

caren...........its after the watershed,and if you feel cheated, you are more than entitled to . ;0

[jeffa]

It's all relative, though, isn't it? Have a look around you. Are you sleeping rough tonight? Do you know where your next meal's coming from?

Your karma's all out of kilter! Do me a favour, won't you? Pick your favourite charity, donate a fiver to them, and then pick up your crossword...

[anneasquith]

jeffa, a wee bit rude to caran,

[gness]

Caran....you rant away....with all the crosswords you do you will be sleeping rough if you donate a fiver before you do one.....x

[jim360]

There's a civil war in Syria too, jeffa. Your point being?

[jeffa]

Seriously, jim? You honestly can't work out what my point is...?

[jim360]

Your point is I think clear. I just don't agree with it. Strikes me that there's nothing wrong ranting about the things that matter to you, regardless of how trivial they may be to others or in the wider scheme of things.

Oh, was gness thinking the same thing? What a remarkable coincidence...

[jeffa]

"Your point is I think clear."

Clear enough that you nevertheless had to ask "Your point being?"

What does that make you...?

[jim360]

It makes me irritated I guess.

[Dee Sa]

Caran this is the best place to "rant" and get it off your chest, rant away my love.
Maybe ED would consider having a whole section for "ranting" ?
Over the weekend I attempt [ and cheat ] three crosswords on Sat and six on Sunday, keeps the old grey matter working and me occupied.

[pixie373]

That's a little unfair, jeffa. That really means nobody has the right to be upset /irritated/ put out about anything.

[dunnitall]

Jim it seems there's always got to be one who's confrontational which is a shame. Chatter bank is just that isn't it so caran you're entitled, can understand how you feel, lol bet you won't do that again..
