LR: The New Kid on the Block

Let’s Get LR a Permanent Slot in the Fairfax Papers

Posted on 23 Feb 2015 by AS

I love the LR. It’s a glorious puzzle, the highlight of the non-DA week. And it’s always a disappointment to see RM in the byline rather than LR.

In my happy world, LR would take DH’s place in the roster. But what’s your preference?

Do you even want LR to have a permanent spot in the roster?

And who would you prefer LR to replace?

Also, feel free to discuss the crosswords of the other Fairfax compilers from the other days of the week here as well.

The Last of LR’s Four-Week Spell: 30th of September, 2013

Posted on 29 Sep 201329 Sep 2013 by AS

Get into LR for this coming Monday.

If the roster stays true to form, it’ll be LR’s last of his four-week stint before returning another five weeks hence.

LR for the 23rd of Septemer, 2013

It’s the third week of LR’s four-week spell.

Surely someone knows someone who can get LR the gig permanently on Monday? Or, better yet, Tuesday?

Don’t forget LR today. 27-down is especially amusing.

LR for the 5th of August, 2013

Think this might be the last of LR’s four-week stint before RM takes over for his/her four weeks, so get in on it before disappointment sets in.

And maybe write a letter to The Age asking for LR’s permanent inclusion into the weekly roster.
