cross words

Guardian Cryptic Crossword forum: I thought this forum was the place where you could post a comment of how you favoured the crossword. I didn't realise the forum was patrolled by a dictatorial head master and an opinionated bully.

Maybe best not to say who I think they are in case they have taken out superinjunctions.

commonplace book

(Literary & Literary Critical Terms) a notebook in which quotations, poems, remarks, etc., that catch the owner's attention are entered
