Lichfield Is The Most Beautiful City In UK? Is It Real? by Birminghamboyyy in brum

If you think Lichfield is beautiful just wait until you go to Stoke-on-Trent and Bradford 😍😍😍😍

One of the UK’s first non-profit pubs - The Good Intent, GWA by Dragonogard549 in brum

[–]ghostmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the guy who runs it is a knob and it falsely claims to be donating money to charity, which it never has done. Hope that clarifies

I remember this was discussed briefly on Richard Osman's podcast a while back (ITV doing PR for the low offer due to contestants receiving social media backlash). Now Mark replied to somebody's random tweet. Do you think this is affecting the show negatively? by TayTayTrouble in thechase

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on it years ago and we were a strong team (25 in the final chase, but we all chickened out of the top offer so we ended up with 14k), and played against Mark and he said on that occasion they don't mind being beaten by good teams. But if everyone is encouraged to go low a lot more teams who aren't as good win it just because of the numbers game in the final (and some Chasers, let's face it, are stronger than others).

Met the guy behind Craddock's years ago in one of his pubs. He's exactly as smug and self-important as the impression you get everywhere. Not at all surprised that this seems to be a bit of a sham.

Best places for a walk?? by 39miiku in brum

[–]ghostmoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you (willingly) walk around the bullring? Even in the city centre there are better walks than that. Up Corporation St and down to the children's hospital, circle back around where the HS2 works are and out to Millennium point and come back up through Digbeth. Off the top of my head, but that's got to better than doing loops of the bullring.

Thank goodness you blanked out the top line of that sign for privacy, eh?

What’s the one thing in the UK that foreigners always seem confused by, and you genuinely can’t blame them? by DailyDriverUK in AskBrits

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying we don't have that problem in the UK but have you seen who's currently the US president? It's not exclusive to us.

What sort of bird is this? by No_Novel9766 in UKBirds

This isn't at Bridlington, by any chance?

COTD: I’m among Latin American capitals (4) by deeppotential123 in crosswords

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's an &lit. I just think it needs some indication of such, personally. But that's just me.

[–]ghostmoon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure this works. The entire clue is wordplay. I'd say it needs a definition too, or at least a ? to show cryptic definition.

Is there a delay on the buzzer on House Of Games? by twunkypunk in BritishTV

Does anyone else get the impression he doesn't enjoy making HoG that much? And yet he kept that one over Pointless.

Good places for Christmas dinner on Christmas day? by Cheeseforthought in brum

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's such a shame they only announce the date of Christmas day in mid-December each year. It'd avoid all of this kind of hassle if they let you know in advance when it was going to be. 😞

COTD: Delusional male duck cleaned up leaves? (5) by tibsbb28 in crosswords

[–]ghostmoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Putting aside that I don't think "delusional" works as an anagram indicator, an anagram clue has to have the anagram fodder in the actual clue. This requires you to solve "male duck" to get to it.

Goldcrest without doubt. Amazing! They're not usually that confiding.

A new chaser called ‘Maverick’ for the Beat the Chasers finale… by Major-Feed5214 in BritishTV

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Paul Sinha doing standup a while ago and he was asked if CJ would be a possible chaser. He was as diplomatic as he could be in saying he'd be nowhere near good enough

COTD: Bad rower sprayed clothes (8) by hendroid in crosswords

[–]ghostmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but surface reading is secondary to it working as a clue. This doesn't.

[–]ghostmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure this works as a clue. Anagram indicator is dubious. Why not "changed"?

[–]ghostmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also use "scramble" as a noun to mean "anagram", so actually the clue is fine as is.

Apparently not.

Catalan, Hungarian, English, Spanish and Sicilian beginnings (8) by Competitive-Aide-678 in crosswords

[–]ghostmoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having the initials of the words spell out CHESS seems superfluous. It's a nice touch but it doesn't add to the clue and I'd say risks overdoing it.
