And here's today's. It's only a matter of time before they ask "When did you stop beating your wife?" Probably in a survey for homosexual men in same sex partnerships.

All I get if I try is this, tried on 3 devices all with different browsers. Once saw the landing page but then got the error again after the first click. Any suggestions?

Grammatically speaking I couldn't agree more. It MEANS, SIGNIFIES, DEMONSTRATES and ATTESTS that you are British. These moronic rascist arseholes who insist that everyone must be able to speak English can't actually speak English. Fuckwits the lot of 'em.

Made me wonder if there was actually an anagram of puzzle given the foul directionality. The oddest words do exist. So doing a Chambers app search on puzzle gives puzzel (same as pucelle). Well I never...

Two gripes with this the first is completely unjustified to be fair. First American spelling means I take longer to do it. Secondly when I do get in two words it doesn't even acknowledge it. GRRR! SPOILER in photo if you haven't done todays.

Weather forecast for last night was wet and cloudy so didn't stay up and missed this! Really quite miffed as I'm looking at an almost identical view of the Cooleys over Carlingford lough right now. BAH!
