    Well it's that time of the year again, the christmas crossword was printed in the Sunday indo sport section today on page 12. It's challenging but I'm sure with your help we'll get through it.

    Does anyone know of any other crossword/quizzes that have been published lately?

    What do people have for 5 down?
    Rooney seems obvious enough but if the answer to 19A is Vela it doesn't fit.

    I have agitate and stimy, although can't find the term spelt that way anywhere.

    it could be KPH or KMH.

    I need 3D, 106A, 93A, 80D, 45A and 62A.

    62A john VIRGO was a snooker player, and it ties in with the stars.
