I'm not saying we're bored on this train journey to Hull, but - inspired by a station we passed through on the way - we have found (we reckon all) five UK train stations which have two-word names where the letters of the shorter word are all found in the longer one.

I have set a #cryptic #crossword with Martin DeMello, titled “Random Number Doubled.” It will appear at this link, on Friday, April 7, 2023, at around 8 PM (Pacific). Solvers will be able to submit solutions and comments online. We’ll post the results around April 17. We enjoyed setting it, and hope solvers have fun too!

Something different from me for the Society of Indexers National Indexing Day 2023. This time I (aka Pixie) have set a suitably themed cryptic crossword for it.

Seems like a good time to mention that the tag is pretty quiet over on Mastod0n...

I made two air filters based on a design by @robwiss

I also designed a frame to hold both of them as a free-standing unit for use in public spaces.

(NB I needed to make the side struts 2mm longer than indicated in the plans. Measure against your filters to be sure!)

Just heard someone say "social medias", and I didn't want to shudder alone, so thanks for reading this.

Chuffed to have my 1st two for @TheBristolCable out in issue 32. (1 GK, 1 . Web versions coming soon, fingers crossed.)
