And I like to print them out so I can scribble over them, and rub out the scribblings when I realise they are wrong. Not so easy in the book.
Re: The postman's just been...
I photocopy bigger for that, but I like to be able to cut and paste them into spreadsheets.
Re: The postman's just been...
It wasn't really a complaint - merely a statement of fact
I like to scribble on the puzzles too - and screw them up and jump on them when I feel so inclined

Re: The postman's just been...
I'm gobsmacked that so many mags have arrived early. They were meant to arrive Monday and they didn't hit the post box until 4.30pm Friday with a collection time of 6.15pm Friday evening. Pretty good going so far as Royal Mail goes!

They must have put them in the first class sack by accident. Mind you after dopeyKingsley's mistake the Royal Mail are feeling quite well off this week.

Re: The postman's just been...
When they were little I used to call them Happy, Dopey and Grumpy. Lally was happy because she was a very smiley baby, K is completely lacking in common sense and F spent about 5 years going through the "terrible twos"
I had a package to post to Gill this week and sent K into the post office with it. I had given her £10 , but thought it would cost about £2.50. I was a bit startled when she said it had cost £9.05 When it arrived Gill told me she had paid for signed for guaranteed next day before noon rather than second class.
Her excuse she couldn't hear the woman through the glass screen and hadn't a clue what she was asking. Definitely dopey.

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.

Mine's here too - Leeds post office is obviously offering that next day delivery anyway
It certainly looks as good as ever - love the cover, which brings Africa really to life
I found one of those lovely little yellow ladybirds in my garden this afternoon (as well as a couple of the usual common or garden ones) - but she wasn't giving away any secrets.......

Re: The postman's just been...
I did, but then I realised I'd copied a space along with the password, and for some strange reason it didn't like that! I also forgot that I had to sign in at the top as me with my normal password before putting in the one for this mag in the different box. I'm really not getting any better at all this!!
Re: The postman's just been...
Google chrome keeps telling me page is not available. It's just done it on here as well but when I retry it comes back.

Just a reminder to those in control of all email addresses that mine is no longer @myguide. I've looked in the control panel to see if it is under our control to change it, but I don't think it is.giraffe wrote:Passwords have arrivedOnly two attempts per puzzle

I don't have hot flushes. I have short holidays in the Tropics.
