http://argumentativeoldgit.wordpress.com/ Nothing
to do with crosswords, but I am glad to make an
exception from crossword-only links to recommend this superb
blog dedicated to the arts (chiefly music and literature). The
author provides a wide range of intelligent articles which are
erudite without being pretentious and written with some
charming self-deprecating humour. A welcome antidote to the
relentless hype surrounding moronic celebrity pop
culture!

A timely reminder of
what happens to those who spend too much time solving hard
crosswords.
