Christmas Speccy crossword

Post by equinox »

Hey sluts. It's only old equinox.

To apologise for my bad drunken behaviour on the forum, I have made a crossword which you may print out and attempt to solve over the brandy and mince pies. Good luck! And enjoy. If you like it, then share with other Speccy nerds.

Here it is: https://cl4.org/__specmas2022.pdf

2 down is correct, you'll laugh when you get it. Maybe.

Anyone who is really struggling, here is 2 down

Top banana. That's just got me 20 across as well. And 20 down, once I'd worked out that devious clue.

EDIT: got loads more. Anyone stuck, I might have the answer... if you're prepared to trade one of your own. Think of it like those sticker albums we were suckered into buying as kids.
Spectribution: Dr. Jim's Sinclair computing pages.
Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!
