===== Recruitment =====
It was at a Listener Crossword setters' dinner in Leeds, I think. During preprandial milling-about [[Arepo]] took me aside,
made me test-solve one of his crosswords, and then showed me this grubby little organ full of cabalistic symbols and usages.

None.
===== Nom =====
I'm from New Zealand myself, so when I started setting Listener crosswords, I wanted something antipodean for my
pseudonym. Chambers' definition (until 1988) of KEA was "a New Zealand parrot which sometimes kills sheep". I thought
this was admirable, and appropriate, in the sense that I felt I was copying the efforts of the masters, but I hoped that my
puzzles might catch the unwary by surprise.
