Re: iSSUE 2
This seems to be a good time to post a great big thank you and a big "I'm Sorry" to all. My email service provider changed the ending of our accounts from .net to .com. They didn't notify us of this change, or if they did, I didn't read it. I wasn't getting any spam for around 2 weeks and just thought I was blessed. But when I called my sister and realized I didn't get her emails either I realized something was up. I found out about the change, but didn't think to notify anyone else about the changes. So it wasn't Gill's or Scurra's fault that I didn't get the password.
Gill very nicely managed to get the password to me via Scurra---I don't even want to ask how that was done
She even reminded me to go change my email address on the front page so I shouldn't have this problem again unless the company does another change.
I know Gill can't do anything about the post or my lack of printer at home, but I can print, and she has promised me that if the magazine doesn't arrive she will post another.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fantastic customer service that has been provided by both Gill and Scurra! I wish all "companies" were as easy to deal with.
So thank you to everyone for listening to me bemoan my lack of a puzzle and for all the help I got. Please accept my most humble apologies for my whining yesterday.

I've got ideas on what to do with Cancer, and possibly Taurus and Gemini too.evilkeen wrote:Well, I've managed to do Cancer and Virgo, and am making some headway with Gemini and Scorpio ....
Anyway, the forum has just opened up for me so I'm heading over there to see what everyone else is moaning about.
Re: iSSUE 2
i hav just finished the first issue (YAY
) and I am impressed with the Issue 2. I think it looks better than issue 1 because it is a proper magazine. Well done Scurra & Gill.

Re: iSSUE 2
If we're boasting, then I've done Virgo, Taurus and Cancer. I'm also working well on Aries and Aquarius, and have some of the books for Libra. Although I know what Sagittarius is about, I dont know who the people actually are. And Pisces has just got my head swimming at the moment.

Re: iSSUE 2
Going by the on-line answers, people seem to be doing rather well so far, with nine of the twelve puzzles having been solved, although no one person has actually done more than five... (Not yet, anyway!) Keep up the good work.
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".

Re: iSSUE 2
Just for the record - mine did arrive between Christmas and the New Year - getting started with it is a different matter. (I'm supposed to have MORE time to myself during the holidays, but this isn't working out that way) 
Issue 2 looks great - and I actually thought it was Bunnylump on the front cover

He spends most of his life being funny (and occasionally hilarious) if you ask me. I really don't see how eating will change that!!

If you eat the fish they won't be a problem any more. Isn't it a brain food anyway?

Re: iSSUE 2
You're right. I wonder if Scurra is secretly Troy McClure (Simpsons character who is rumoured to have a paraphilia involving fish).
