    These numbers are followed by letters. The letters are the abbreviation to a description.

    For example: 52WOTY would be 52 weeks of the year. Good fun this one.

    How about some cryptic clues, where the answers are the names of Forumites? Don't shoot the amateur compiler!


    1. Something fishy about German capital? 6

    2. Queue to maintain order? 6

    3. Conquer in a crafty setting? 7

    4. Sounds like a rum, 1 of 5 around a point. 8

    5. Drag your feet like Miss Stubbs? 6

    6. Scramble! Initially, serve from at a feast and stick to it! 8

    7. Strewth! Does this beautiful maiden come from down under? 5,5
    I've had a thought. If anyone is struggling with any of these clues, then please feel free to PM me. This is the first time I've tried to compile my own and it maybe some may not be as good as perhaps they should be. I've occasionally been driven to distraction by crosswords that I later discovered contained an error. So frustrating!!
