Be sure to check out The Guardian's prize crossword (26525) published today, "in honour of an 85th birthday."

No excuses for the Sondheads on this board not completing it in its entirety. ;-P

I' m glad that such entities as The Guardian and the ever-estimable Buzz Feed have such important matters on their (empty) minds.

It would be laughable if weren't so hopeless pathetic.

Still, I did get a little snicker over it.

Salieri was the better composer too, wasn't he?

I also understand that, in addition to The Grauniad, those who prepare the crosswords for The Times, The FT, The Torygraph, The Independent and The Listener have pooled their resources by joining forces to prepare a personal crossword for Mr S. that will be given to him today/tomorrow (depending on your timezone).

Note that The Spectator wasn't included above.

This crossword made me feel so stupid. I know his musicals like the back of my hand, I don't know why I could barely answer any of the clues!

Crossword clues aren't english. they're written in an entirely different language unto themselves!

Like "refusal to accept our menu turned out for the best"??

Obviously when I said "barely any" i meant I couldn't answer a single one. I know Sweeney Todd was being referenced in the question about a fragrant fiend from Fleet Street.
