Can You Do This Crossword?

At last I have found a crossword I can complete!
It is fitting this is posted on Plato's site - he would be impressed - so would Socrates!
Oh look! My old mate Spike compiled it!

One of his best known gags was from the Goon Show when he held up a scull in front of his fellow goons saying, "This scull is 200,000 years old!"

They all sang, "Happy Birthday to you!"



Did you know that Spike left these immortal words on his grave headstone as his epitaph?

I TOLD YOU THERE WAS

SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME

  5. Golly Jackie! What are you on tonight?
    Love the verification but none of them fit the clue so they are ALL disqualified.
    I have it by good authority that men in white coats are approaching to come and take me away!!
    Have you noticed I am at my happiest when I am extremely silly?
    I think it is catching!
    I expect when I check my post tomorrow there will be 250+ comments to see!!
    What have I started?
    I think I might do a slightly harder crossword with THE DEFINITE ARTICLE as a clue. This one will be for advanced crossword addicts.
    Love
    Eddie X
