OK, it’s now close enough to the day for me get round to this thread, I’m not an early Xmas fan.

The news from the class dummy is that the immune system will be stable enough for me to be allowed out in a crowd just in time to coincide with those days when everything will be closed. And just to add to the cheer, Her Ladyship broke her wrist on the snow on Saturday. All adds to the festive fun.

Whatever, a Merry Xmas to one and all.

Thanks to Gaufrid and all bloggers and commentators for making this site the joy that it is. Like others, I found it by accident a couple of years ago, while desperately googling to find an answer to an Araucaria clue. Since then, my solving has got so much better and I’ve even been able to tackle AZEDs, which had been a closed book to me before. Special thanks to Gaufrid for keeping everything running so smoothly.

A very Happy Christmas to everyone and all the best for 2011.

I saved my comment for number ‘E V’ (which was a revelation to me when it appeared in one crossword).
Can’t beat what has already been said but keep up the great work everyone !

My thanks to Gaufrid and his team for all their sterling work in 2010, Seasons Greetings to setters, solvers and bloggers everywhere and best wishes for a happy, healthy (and if possible, warmer) New Year.

Having just got back from hols, I’m a little late in conveying Best Wishes For The New Year to Gaufried and all connected with 225.

I first came across 225 about 6 months ago while looking for answers to the Indy crosseword the day after it appeared, which was when I had time to finish (or not finish) it. So, here were not only the answers, but explanations as well, and comments as well! Since then, I’ve been hooked and have rescheduled my “routine” so that I make it a point of completing the Indy, and, if possible, before the blog comes out. It’s been fun and educational in many ways. Keep on keeping on everyone!

And Happy Holidays!!

Thanks Gaufrid for giving so much pleasure to someone living so far away. I’m looking forward to another great year.
Season’s Greetings !

Nearly twice the comments over last year’s message, clearly Gaufrid and the rest of us are doing something right. An appeal to especially the lurkers, do we explain enough? or are we insulting your lack of knowledge/intelligence. Don’t know about the other bloggers – this is purely a personal thing and want to know how to pitch them. Thanks G for all the help over the year.

As an ex-blogger but continuing reader and commenter I’d also like to thank Gaufrid and his team for his and their work over this year. I know how time consuming it is to solve and then write up a blog but can’t begin to imagine the time commitment from Gaufrid, so thanks to everyone for giving their time so generously.

Having just spent the last week in Philadelphia I wish everyone a “happy holidays”!

Colin
