Got mine this morning! That is surely a record...
Well done Malcolm- always good to see a TB in the lists.
Well done Malcolm.
Noticed at least one other TBer on my flick through.
I was really looking forward to the Joanne Harris interview - and wasn't disappointed. I tweeted about it this evening, and she picked it up and retweeted it to 5,800 followers!
It's not that the articles aren't interesting, but after a while a lot of them do get samey. Can't be helped I suppose.
Well done to everyone who appeared in this month's issue.
So far I've only read Lorraine Mace's page and had a good chuckle over the wedding item in it!
Well done Malcolm (winning entry has typo in first line) and Helen. Must go online to read your story, Malcolm - you can always submit it for publication on www.alfiedog.com as a pay per download story.
Congrats to all those who're in there.
Congratualtions to everyone else.
I bought my first copy in months, if not years. I stopped subscribing when I spotted one too many typos. As I flicked through, waiting to pay, guess what I spotted...?

Or "don't make it write"
eh Baggy? ;)
Only the rain's getting in it summat terrible.
Has the passive tense disappeared? Page 6: the programmes will broadcast on ITV1
Page 21: there is lots of event ; and common to both is that they both . The cover of Ian McEwans book shows the title as The Child in Time, but the article refers to it as Child in Time.
The winning story on pages 28-29 was excellent. I thought at first it was a poem: door before floor. There was some repetition: morning light; floor; field of vision/view; grenade; Sergeant/Sarge (two sergeants?); and voices. And The way I was laying
Those oh-no-not-again! words: iconic, page 7; and kick-start (twice), page 38.
Pages 38-39. Quite a bit of repetition: mind; flow; fire/firing; main; lateral/laterally; stop/stopped; work; and question/questions. Sixty/Seven-minutes-worth; forty; seven; and five. Cliché with and without an accent. Arthur Miller would type this as he was typing.
Pages 42-43. The assonance of classy façade is pleasing , and is classy a lazy adjective? So is it in or out?
And I especially liked the back cover ad. Make 2012 your year of adventure. Greece. Thailand. Cambodia. Cuba. Isle of Wight.
