You will not. But compliments to you for getting your name and skills in lights. Well done Chris.
By the way, how does a March issue come out in January, or is it that you are working on the March issue?

:lol: It's because subscribers are issued with their copy before the rest of the readership sees the mag in the shops. Had I thought for a moment that America's equivalent of the late Jeremy Beadle could get everybody their magazines earlier, I'd have moved and taken up citizenship of those Untied States of America..

Thought: I've looked on the Mr Men website and can't find a Mr Trump anywhere, but there is a Mr Fart, could he be the same person?

Definitely, the hands are identical, as is the skin tone.

:shock:
Erm, right. Yes. So today, thanks to a good old dose of the winter random symptom virus, I've now read June through October cover to cover so when I get around to reading the march edition, we may still be in February.
I like the fact that the mag is enlisting the services of someone who genuinely does a proper job to demonstrate techniques, this always used to be what kept Practical ahead of the alternative publications, some of which would sooner have published complete bollocks than admit they hadn't a clue. Still, it's a real shame that Jalopy ceased to be published before they'd announced the winner of the Allegro in their big competition. ;)

Seen the front cover? Is it the terrible twins and are they called spit and polish?

You added that last sentence just to annoy me, didn't you? Allegro Competition indeed. Gross.

Cor, Maestros and Allegros, the stuff of dreams right there. Says me, the Princess owner. They're terrible and that's what makes them brilliant.
