Working at airport security. Searched a man from Prague. A body, a head, two legs, two arms, all fingers and toes present. Czech complete.

Looking for the best World Cup wall chart in this weekend’s newspapers. Needs to be big. Do I wait until tomorrow? Daily Mail’s is double sided and not giant. Please share your wallchart below. (No downloadable ones, must be printed).

Size of Sun’s World Cup wallchart. Too small.

World Cup wall charts newspaper options in store. Has anybody got a pic of the Saturday Daily Telegraph wallchart?

I thought one of the words in the first row of puzzle 4 was (C)LIPPERS. That would have given a rather unwanted present from Santa. Those poor elves. #TheGCHQChristmasChallenge

Hi @helvetica, just got a new iPad 11 and Pocket Run Pool is bigger than the screen, which means I can’t reach the pool cues on either side to take a shot. 😰 It’s the only app that’s suffering from this and I couldn’t find any zoom-out settings. Any chance of a fix?

Finally got 1000 Golds! @pocketrunpool @helvetica There’s some great regular competitors making it harder and harder to climb up the league table.

2000 golds, and now I’m going to hang my hourly tournament hat up. It’s been a fun challenge, thanks. Competition has become even harder with Meleander on a roll. Just have to remember to play the weekly breaks to keep that streak going.

I think the new amphitheater @PuzzlingPlaces is my favourite yet. And that includes the early Patreon releases. Well done!

70% of my Twitter feed is now “topic” posts served up unasked from accounts I do not follow. Can you turn this off? It’s making the app unusable.
