Christine's Hello
Hello – Colossus 218
Many words have changed meanings over the years and there’s usually an interesting view of history behind the words. Here are some words from ancient Greece. Paraphernalia, for instance, comes from the Greek para alongside and pherne dowry. In ancient Greece, when a bride moved into her husband’s house, she took her personal property with her, cooking utensils, jewellery, cosmetics etc which she was allowed to keep. If they got divorced, which was quite common then, the woman was allowed to keep her paraphernalia, while the families sorted out the lands, cattle, house and money. In those ancient days,...

Asleep on the job – MEGA 3 ContestsThe Mega Stinker was as smelly as usual in issue No. 3. It was enough to keep some of you awake especially at 47dn where ‘Wakefulness’ was INSOMNIA and not IMSOMNIA. As you saw the sun come up you may have been tackling 134ac ‘Solar radiation...

Christmas birds – BIG Crossword 204 ContestsAs this is our Christmas issue I am going to try and stick to writing only about words that make us feel good. Our clue for HALCYON was ‘Golden (past)’ but the word came from a Greek myth about a bird (no not a partridge) and has a Christmas... [Read more or comment]
On the menu – Colossus Crosswords 215 ContestsHave you ever wondered why a ‘Shellfish soup’ is called a BISQUE (Stinker 286ac)? Well I have, so I embarked on some research and still don’t really know. It is the case with many words that their origins are more the stuff of theory... [Read more or comment]

Great to have bi-monthly crypticI was delighted to receive the new Cryptic magazine for which I have subscribed. I am afraid I do have one gripe though – why on earth, in a magazine dedicated to cryptic crosswords, to you include dreadful acrostic and logic puzzles? I do not wish to do such puzzles and, if I did, I would subscribe to your bi-monthly Puzzle Collection. All... [Read more or comment]
A puzzling journeyThis week I had to travel from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberystwyth on Tuesday and make the return journey the following day. The two trips totalled over 12 hours (I was thinking I could have flown from Newcastle to Faro, Portugal and back twice in that time!). So you can imagine how grateful I was to have my copy of BIG with me. It kept me fully occupied... [Read more or comment]
