I guess 5 has something to do with ROFL, or LOL, or something of that ilk?

Something like that, maybe LMAO. I don’t know how to arrive at LMAO or ROFL or LOLS from the clue. The words BURBLE and AFTERNOONS either have intersecting or adjacent letters. Maybe I should show the grid.

Merci beaucoup!

not sure I understand these clues but surely this is LOLS or LULZ maybe

Rest = Lolls
Left behind = Remove an L

I’m only good at crosswords when I got the answers already. :laughing:

That was the genesis of this thread…

Except I did one, and now I can barely find the time to just read the magazine.

You won’t like the current one then!

I just fill the boxes in with ‘IANHISLOPISASEXGOD’ and scan it for my Warwickshire mate to mail in.
