# I dun a cryptic crossword
The Silent Channel's sig reminded me that I made this a little while ago - Thought maybe some of you sexy exciting people might like to have a go?

Some of the clues are better than others.

First person to finish it wins a crudely-photoshopped picture of a dog smoking a cigar. (Cash value: £0.00)

# Kudos for conforming to THE CROSSWORD GRID RULES on this :)

# Haha
It's a devil to fit in the last few clues this way. Those 2x2 blocks of black squares are still a little ugly though.

# Awesome
I'm off to work in a bit, but I'll have a go at this over the weekend...

# Correct!
I don't think it's too hard - it's hard to tell when you already know all the answers though :)

# Nice! I enjoyed that a lot.
It beat surfing the net on my lunch break. :-)

I'm going to find an old post to post the answers in and link 'em.

# That was fine stuff.
6 Down made me smile - I like things like that.

There were some really nicely formed clues in there - crackin' job, sir.

Here... is that the smoke-face from Fringe? It's giving me the willies.

# It is not
It's an entirely unrelated screaming smokeface
