 Thanks to all who contributed to the first collaborative crossword. I really enjoyed putting it together with a mixture of everyone's suggestions. Here's the next one, the completed version of which will appear on my crossword page.
Same idea as before - suggest clues for any given answers and I will compile a mixture of everyone's contributions. Clues can be posted as comments on this blog or via Twitter/Facebook/Google+.
