The prize for the first all correct entry is one part-used roll of 'Izal' medicated toilet paper (subject to availability. No cash alternative. Judge's decision is final).

Crosswords are a traditional way to pass the time while exercising your mind. If you want more exercise you can write my essay and think about why you agreed to this. You will feel the pain I have to go through.

Okay Pain, I was promised an entry into the next crossword, and I don't see anything about me on this one

Ms Vee… Please accept my apologies for this tardy reply – I’m rarely around the forum lately.

With all due respect, I don’t recall anything “promised”. Just at the moment I doubt whether I could conjure a clue of coruscating crypticity worthy of you. Perhaps a penetrating shaft of wit…? Probably not even that.

It's okay, Pain. I'll let you off the hook...for now I do expect you to work on this for your homework.
