Er... my Writing Magazine for June arrived today!
I finally succeeded in making a time machine for liz young to take her back 10 days, but it must have gone wrong and taken me forward 10 days!

*hurries furtively to newsagent"
They should enter the sprint race in the olympics.
No, it's all to do with distribution and scheduling in here - around our many other titles, etc. Originally should have been next week, but we had to bring the newsstand date forward, and of course we have to make sure subscribers get it first!
Normal service will resume next month (and when I say next month, that actually means July!)
Nah, they're always pretty early. And WF. I've got overload at present, two mags needing attention at the same time ... and of course I'm sposed to be in the bath right now getting ready for work and WHAT am I doing?
*ever the gentleman, averts gaze and coughs discreetly*
(Mine's here, browsing now)
Quite surprised to see it had arrived this week, rather than early next week. :)
Bless you, Lou. After a morning at the dentist it's nice to know you thought of me.
And June's mag? I haven't finished reading May's yet - which came in April. This A-Z blog has put me behind on everything.
No, that don't read right! Me behind is on a chair. Oh never mind - you know what I mean.
Now off to eat lunch with my new teeth.
So if you're not getting back to normal until July, does that mean we'll get July's and August's (and possibly September's) mags in July?
still not finished last month's one though.. it keeps getting tidied up while I am at work!
Now you have perfected the time machine, could you work on a tracking device for them too? :)

Someone else tidies up? Wow! Mind you, if anyone messed with my writing corner there'd be blood on the walls.
Sorry, I was being flippant. The July issue moves back a little towards normal timing, and you should get it at around the end of May (ahead of newsstands on 7 June). August issue should get to you on about 1 July and September's should get to you from about 31 July onwards.
So was I :)

Are those the ones that wait for no man? says she, misquoting like mad.
Three things left on the TODO list - then - the TREAT!
Well, as I keep telling you, you are a man of a certain age and let's face it, those front covers can be deceiving.
Dora - are you simply assuming that JohnWho 63 is actually 63, or do you have a personal relationship with him you haven't told us about?
Where do you live, Wilts? Mine got here today and I live 2000 miles south of UK.
Ner ner ner NER ner!
:)
edited to remove one ner!
Yes, very annoying production error... it was caused by our server crashing on print day which goes right to the top of the list of Things You Don't Want to Happen.

[quote=bertiebear]Maybe John was born in '63, which would make him (reaches for calculator) 49. Whipper-snapper.[/quote]
A man of a certain age indeed! :D Actually liz and bb you are both wrong. I was born in 1955, and will be 57 next birthday. :D The 63 refers to 1963, the year that Doctor Who began.
Nov 23, the day after JFK!
And that's in spite of the server crashing! (Do you realise that if you wrote that sentence 10 or more years ago, we'd all be thinking of some aged retainer (not JohnWho63) falling over and dropping the best silver?)Well done, Webbo!
aged? I'm not old, but a 'man of a certain age' according to Dora. *hobbles off to find my zimmer frame* ;)
AWwwww, cheer thees up John, it could be worser :)
No other way to live it.
Life is one big joke, if you really, really think about it. Somebody somewhere is having the last laff and it ain't the hooman race.
My philosophy exactly, dorakins, the older you get the more ridiculous it seems.
I'm pushing 76, its scary, which is why you have to laugh.
Which makes me a mere youth at nearly 57. ;)
