You Have To Love Picaroon

[joggerjayne]

He is kind, and gentle.

Or maybe "she" is!

I love the "ELVISH" clue today.

(at least, I hope that's the answer, otherwise I'm going to look a bit silly)

James Brydon .He also sets as Lavatch for the Spectator and The Listener .
He's not always gentle when he sets the Speccie :)

Oh, okay. I thought it might be a secret.

The only other setter whom I knew who he was, was Araucaria (the late).

I could hardly ever do an Araucaria.

I had no idea that this thread would expand my vocabulary so much.

I'm going to use it this week.

Picaroon, I mean.

Not sure how, or where.

If the setter is 'Picaroon' then save it for the next 'speak like a pirate day'

Lumberjack's convention.

Mmm ... not sure if they have those here ... we don't really have any trees.

Okay, there's a few up the Old Steine.
