Hi All,
I think we as patrons of the lounge are familar with most things that happen as regular MM (or Ozzie friend) coming out with some very unpolitically correct views, drunken rampages etc. V doing 'Movie Quote Of The Day', R. Giskard Reventlov 'APOD', who was reponcible for CCC or Cryptic Crossword Clue if I think back I think it was Darlek Dave back in the day and now it's Winner Sets The Next One. It seems that Griff does most of them so is he the now the adoptive parent, or just good at them?

He's one of the ones who cares about it. There's a lot more of us aren't really that bothered about it.

Oh!! I thought it was because he had nothing else to do.

The original was DD's toy, and it was fine. Then he decided to abandon us in favour of election to his local council (as some of his views would not have gone down well: such as his motivation for wanting the seat, opinion of Gypsies, the inhabitants of Stalag Luton, ...)
Unfortunately, he failed to gain his safe Tory Seat (despite the largest swing to the Tories country wide in decades it went to Labour) and has never returned to us.
So after a while, I resurrected it in "Winner Stays On" form and try to keep it alive since it provides gentle mental exercise for some.
I do try not to do most of them (I haven't done one since the 14th) in order to give others a chance - plus it's damn hard to come up with the clues

I remember first looking around CP found the Lounge, seeing CCC and being confused by it. So the DD opions did not get him elected(!?)...

He was channelling his inner Clarkson.

I find that worrying

He could be a bit, shall we say, controversial, at times, but his heart was in the right place (physically -- i.e. it was in his chest), and he did make the effort to do a CCC every day for years on end, which had a very positive effect on the Lounge.
I doubt that many -- if any -- could claim as much Lounge cred.

Quote: When contacted by the Luton News Mr Coulter said that the post had been “written in haste by a fellow administrator”.
Yup.
It wasn't written by David Coulter, during the day while he made plans for the gulag constituency; it was posted by a chap named Dalek Dave, late on Friday night.

Not so - a quick search for CCC [^] reveals a wide range of culprits with Griff simply being one of many regular setters.
It also suggests that Griff's actual regular crossword thread is called "Oi! [Yesterday's winner]! Where's the CCC?" which usually appears before anyone's even had the chance to forget to do one. 
Slogans aren't solutions.

Who solves the CCC is also largely influenced by time zone and normal sleeping patters. By the time I get on the system, living on the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S., the CCC is usually solved already.
And, if I was to solve one, I've probably get harangued because I didn't post the new one in a timely manner.

Looks like all the grandpas here are sleeping.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
