Crude Cryptic Crosword
I made this!
So, I' been compiling these cryptic crosswords with sweary/pervy clues (@crudecryptics on twitter) for a month or so now. Link fetches A4 PDF of puzzle #3. I fear they may be a bit niche, but posting here on the offchance there may be a few fellow puerile puzzlers lurking. There will be an apt (but cheapskate) prize for first correct solution drawn on 30/9. I've not had any entries yet and only have 11 followers, so the odds of winning aren't bad. :)
[Edit - Across Lite .PUZ file compatible with most crossword apps here:

Yeah, those are my three go-to puzzles too :) (And occasionally Azed when I feel like taking a l o n g trip down the lexicographical rabbit-hole.)

You could try formatting it for Across Lite?
I don't know if that costs money or not, but you might get some more people trying it.

Yeah, apparently you just need to mark up the xword in a text file and the program (free) will spit it out in .puz format. I'll give it a go when I get a sec.

Finished it, 27 across is magnificent.
Haha, just spotted the hidden 4-word insult too.

Ta. Only had one other correct solution so far (from The_cold_stare), so do stick in your entry (fnarr!)

Converted an older one to PUZ format too, with solution, if you fancy it. There's a rubric in the AcrossLite 'notepad' section that should help. No prize for this one, though - it's already been won. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8eJ97xjFgv2aksxX3ptOE5wdUE

Cheers
But is there a bug on 12 across on this one?
I've just finished #3 but I don't twitter :-(

And we have a winner...
The_cold_stare was first out of the hat from the four correct solutions submitted and receives a small but apt prize. Well done that man.
Do have a go at puzzle #4 - closing date 15/10 - JPG here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8eJ97xjFgv2SjQzamlTZUZvSXc/view .
