To UnFiction's gentle readers, I apologise for the generally unhappy tone of this post, and would have preferred to put it into a PM, but as our little friend here simply seems to get off on his/her habit of posting this kind of rubbish under a guest account, and will not log in, I'm unable to. However, I'm not of the opinion that simply because people think that they are "untouchable" behind the perceived anonymity of the internet, that they should be allowed license to use it to attack others. I appreciate that "X" clearly has "issues" - possibly wasn't hugged enough as a child, or maybe hugged a little too much, maybe he feels inadequate because when body parts were handed out, he got short-changed, we shall probably never know - however, I've got no time for someone who firmly believes that because life has dealt them a poor hand, they should have some right to make others miserable in an effort to somehow make themselves feel better at their expense.

The faint of heart might want to turn back at this point.

Okay, people. ENOUGH!


Trying to lever this back to something vaguely resembling the original topic, I think someone suggested the end of this puzzle might be when the new issue comes out. Looking back, that should be anytime soon, assuming the mag is monthly.

So, with any luck, we should soon be put out of our misery regarding the elephant/lightbulb debate. Hooray!

Point. Actually, I have the new issue lying on my bed as I type. Let me go look through it

EDIT: Okay, so firstly, it was actually on my floor NEXT to my bed. Secondly, though, and more important, upon skimming through this month's issue I find absolutely nothing enlightening, not even a list of contest winners or something similar. Nobody even wrote any letters to the magazine (at least not that they published) regarding the ad. So who knows?

I'm guessing that a long Easter bank holiday weekend is probably going to screw with the Academy's post, if indeed the release of the next issue is the closing date.

Either that, or the answer is "drunken bear with a pint", and Gibbet is now sat there in his new Academy post laughing at us all.

P.S Chris, Juxta... you're both bonkers. But entirely right.

Our favourite brain has made a reappearance, but this time in the Sunday Telegraph puzzle spread.

It's been modified with a 'start' and 'finish' at appropriate points...

That seems to indicate that the

Well yes. But I think a lot of us are holding out for "drunken bear with a pint".

[DrKra37]

Well, it is certainly more stylish.

I had a quick browse of the latest issue while at an airport yesterday and couldn't see anything in it, I was going to go back and pick up a copy and forgot Oh well, if someone who actually lives in the US could get a copy and look through it more thoroughly then I'm sure we would all be greatful.

The last few posts had me thinking that I could look through my copy of CGW, but then I realized that the last issue never showed up here! I swear the subscription has not run out... Arg!! I guess I'll have to wait patiently for someone else to enlighten us or *gasp* go buy copy.

[DrKra37]

Right, so I just finished reading through my latest issue of CGW much more thoroughly than I did for my last post (i.e. actually reading it cover-to-cover, rather than skimming). Unfortunately, I see absolutely nothing worthwhile or clue-like, even in the ads.

Sorry, guys! Maybe someone will find something I've missed...
