Christine's Hello
Colossus 240 – Hello
One of the ways Christmas has changed over the years is the time spent together as a family making preparations. I’m sure many of you remember helping your mother to make the Christmas cakes, pudding and mince pies, or helping your father to bring in the Christmas tree and put up the lights. It seemed to be a warmer and more festive holiday. With all the hustle and bustle of the modernday Christmas, some of the special spirit of the season has disappeared. Nowadays, many households don’t have the time or energy to cook those old-fashioned dishes. We can buy any Christmas goodies in the supermarket all ready to eat. The tree is often an artificial one, to make life easier. Yet it’s not...

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]
