what would we do without people to point out we already have the answer?

Well that's sort of the idea, you know... Otherwise how can I ensure you have those sleepless nights? :evil:

I think you should supply Anadin and sleeping pills* free of charge with these puzzles.:lol:

But not too many, just in case people try to do the surrealist crossword. :?

ok, I quit! I can't find a Patriarch to save my life! Bring on the booze!

Daughter spilled her water all over the floor and I found my Patriarch! Jupiter, I wish that would have happened a few days ago. Now for that "cool website"

Well, when it rains it pours. Now all I need is a piano to hit me on the head so I can work out to do now! Can't find a piano so this will have to do...

I started with the 'gradual escape' for this one and worked the others out from there.

I have an idea for "gradual escape". Problem is it doesn't help with other 2.

Giraffe has told me to start with gradual escape. She then told me that I probably didn't have the knowledge to get it. I have 7 words now, two on line 1, one on line 2, all of 3 and one on 4.

Now I'm stuck.

'Cool website?'??? Well I suppose puzzlebrains is quite cool... :)

Everyone seems to say to start with "gradual escape" but I have all the rest except the last line and "gradual esacpe". What's wrong with me? On second thoughts don't answer that. ;)

You need to ask yourself what escapes gradually? (No Kingsley, not a convict!)

Have 6 lines completed but stuck on line 4. Have got the third word but the only answer I can find for the first word doesn't tie up with it.
