It was here when I got home from work, but only now managed to get a chance to look inside :)

Looking forward to giving it a try - If "To be or not to be" is the same logic as good old 'Minesweeper' then I've got a good chance of at least ONE of them :lol:

My 'art' knowledge is non-existant, but I read somewhere that this shouldn't matter... I HOPE NOT :!:

Thanks gang - looks great. :)

Well that was a nice surprise! I wasn't expecting it until Saturday. :)

It all looks amazing, I'm very impressed. Just one quibble though................

Could the free gift next time be a brain please?

I just knew it wouldn't get to Spain on the right day - our post is rubbish!!!

Looked at puzzles on website and wonder is there a little more info in the magazine as all I can see is pretty art and not a clue what you would do with it.

I've got mine and it looks brilliant. I may have a bit of a problem with some of them, however, because they're very small and my eyesight for close up work is doing a spectacular nose-dive at the moment. :(

I just can't believe the amount of work which must have gone on here. You are fabulous, both of you! :D

That's partly why the on-line version exists - the images are a lot larger there which will help with quite a few of them.
I've also learned a lot about what can and can't be seen when printed at A5 size! Expect them to be generally somewhat larger in future (if they need detail, at least.)
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Not sure if I'll be saying that in a few days/weeks/months? time - but really looking forward to the challenge

Well done Scurra and Gill for getting the magazine and website off the ground

Sorry mate - If I'd know what was going on I could have offered advice (I've been down this route before). The size is one matter, and the difference between the backlit VDU vs Printed Page is another one I've tripped over. I know it's against your nature, but don't be TOO subtle ;)

Not seen the mag yet -- heck its only 12 hours since I ordered it --, but from bitter experience printers never get the same colours shown on the screen
And I used to work for a printer and use Quark Xpress.

I've got mine! I've started it and it all looks incredibly confusing, although I've started a couple of the art puzzles in the middle.

It was lovely and quiet here this morning, everyone with their noses buried in the puzzles. Even our littlest one was shading away at a photocopy of to be or not to be. She later got busy with the scissors on jisaw!

It looks like being a nice quiet half term holiday. :D

Thanks Scurra and Gill!
