Title: The Sunday Times Clue Thingy Again.
Post by: Roger Kettle on October 19, 2008, 09:51:57 AM

In today's Sunday Times, the crossword clue-writing competition is for the word "translator". I've come up with "His bed is lit", but I'm not happy with it. Over to you....

Firstly, he could be Turkish, Russian, Austrian, Nepalese, Swedish, Lithuanian, African, Thai or Romanian.

Does it matter? So long as he translates. I think you're missing the point here, Peepsie, with respect.

Okay, these are all very good attempts, but I got them really quickly. I think you'll have to do better for the Sunday Times, in all honesty.

Me neither, in fact yours are all rubbish. Mine is the only good one.

Roger, you probably missed it while you were celebrating your Daughters birthday last night, so watch out for the repeat of "Timeshift: How to Solve a Cryptic Crossword",  coming this Sunday night on BBC4.

I thought it was fascinating and very entertaining , but at the same time totally incomprehensable.  For all the good it did me, those brainiacs might just as well have been explaining  Einstein's Theory of Relativitity.  In Chinese.
