The Eye

[bigbadwolf]

Oi you lot. This thread isn't a place to help out Mockney with his bloody crossword.

[mockney piers]

Spot on!

[bigbadwolf]

Thank you.

[mockney piers]

Naa I'd got them all apart from olive oil.

Can anyone make this be something like subsidiary though?

Major wouldn't describe this, his old Eye feature, after deputy is nobbled (10)

I'm pretty sure it ends in diary

[bigbadwolf]

For christ sake!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

To be fair BBW, I did ask Mockers to resurrect his crossword thread, and not take this one over.

[Jah Lush]

Back on topic. I used to be a regular reader of Private Eye but it seems to have slipped off my radar of late.

[bigbadwolf]

Oh behave yourself Sean. I couldn't care less if Mockney hijacks my thread. I've done it to him and countless others in the past.

"Back on topic. I used to be a regular reader of Private Eye but it seems to have slipped off my radar of late."

Why's that then Jah? I'd have thought that in your line of work you'd keep an interest.

[Brendan]

Still trying to finish last issue's crossword.

Brenda?s gone arse up ? be a luvvy and show you?re aware ( 5 )

Mostly popular? Enlarge Bust (2,7 )

[Jah Lush]

Spooky that you know about my line of work but I'll let it lie. Must go and nick a copy from the News Desk.

[bigbadwolf]

I'm guilty of still being on the anniversary copy but I thought I'd share this grammatical error (it may not be) from Rotton Boroughs.

City chief's first day in the office

The new chief executive of Derby city council began work yesterday. Adam Wilkinson, 45, replaces Roy Cowlishaw, who retired in June. His salary will be ?160,000 a year. Mr Wilkinson said: "I'm looking forward to earning more about Derby."

First one is react.

Can someone else dig up the crossword thread. Have you any idea how long it took me tontine the music one on page seven on this little screen?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

In general.

>>>Can anyone make this be something like subsidiary though?

Major wouldn't describe this, his old Eye feature, after deputy is nobbled (10)<<

"major wouldn't descrive this" = definition of subsidiary

"deputy" = sub

"is nobbled = si

"old Eye Feature" = diary

*struts*

[ruffers]

If I've got an hour or so train journey I buy it, but like most of the rest I got out of the habit.

Will try again..

I have always liked the writing style but not the print size, as it's half size print of a newspaper.

I did not renew my subscription this year either, as it used to lie around mostly unread, and then the next one would arrive.

He should have gone to "Spec savers"

Not the price they charge PUP, I'd find it cheaper with a white stick.

I just think the 'EYE' looks a bit hippyish not being full size like other news sheets.

I do rate it's style and clarity with complex stories and cases.
