A Rufus?
I despise cryptic crosswords. DESPISE.
I love a normal crossword though. I like doing the Radio Times one.

You've slipped a few places on my Respectometer scale I'm afraid zooo. 
For the Radio Times reading, or the PURE HOT MOLTEN HATRED of cryptic-ness?
I just know you're crying on the inside.

Both. But mainly for the hatred of cryptic clues. I had you down as an intelligent logophile. Are you telling me I'd got that wrong? ARE YOU?!!

HA! *does Dance of Righteous Justice*
I don't do sudokus either. I HATE THEMM.
I like proper clues that are proper. Not stupid trick riddles that are all smug and horrible and IMPOSSIBLE.
I cannot tell you how much I hate the tabloids- especially NOTW and The Sun.
I hope they get in even more trouble over this hone hacking stuff. I really do.

3 letters sounds like hat, and has the same last 2 letters.
Catches mice.
Tom was one.
It's a cat.
Reckon you can get that one?
That's not cryptic is it. That's factual. Which is fine.
Quote: TopBanana @ June 12 2011, 3:10 PM BSTI've avoided newspapers for years. I hate 99% of them and the way they are written and designed. I find the tabloids are vicious, spiteful and hypoctical, and the broadsheets too toffee-nosed and sneery.
But, the other week when away from home and with an hour or so to kill at a service station I bought a copy of the I newspaper- mainly 'cause it was 20p.
I loved it and have bought every issue since.
Your newspaper of choice is....?
I'm a big fan of I. You can't really go wrong for 20p. Although I have noticed they tend to repeat themselves a bit and have quite a few spelling mistakes.
Didn't answer the question though
Hah I have confounded Zooo!
Is it a dog?
how did you guess?

I agree.
Plus, I enjoy Julie Burchill's rants even though I despise her.
