@jennifermjones Can you connect the device you used to write stuff to them via USB and read them directly from there? Works with my Canon DSLR and a voice recorder I’ve got.

@chubbybannister If they like cryptics, I’ve heard good things about “Boatman: the First Fifty”; Boatman’s one of the Guardian’s best setters.

helenrclarkson There is a drunk woman on the tube throwing After Eights at everyone and, in the most British way possible, everyone is pretending they aren’t being hit on the head by tiny chocolatey squares (which hurts by the way) and not looking at anyone else in the eye.
