    Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

    Yeah, nice clue. Hard but fair.

    I'm also busy at the moment, so don't hang around for my ass.

              Does anyone get 21 down in yesterday's Guardian? The clue is

              Oddly articulated puppet inflamed widow (6),

              and the answer (I'm pretty sure, though I've yet to check) is SUTTEE. I get the "inflamed widow" part.

                Sounds like (does it?) Sooty?

                  Ah, that must be it, thanks. What a rubbish clue, though: "suttee" is an Anglicisation of "sati"; sounds nothing like "Sooty".

                                  In other news, I've been asked to do a crossword for a "literary magazine". I need a crossword setter name though. Any suggestions? (I mean I guess I could just go with ad hoc)

                                    How about 'Ardal' (Romanian for 'Transylvania', more or less).

                                      Ardeal.

                                      Or Erdely (Hungarian) if I wanted to go that way

                                        So you won't be going with "a moronic abusive cunt" (which always surprises me as one of the more inappropriate pieces of self-description)

                                        Wednesday?

                                        Impaler?

                                          To be fair it's not actually self-description.

                                          A version of Wednesday might work, given I live in a town which is also named after that day of the week.
