Looks very complicated. I don't bother to fill them in anymore.I know it's lazy but I have so many puzzles on the go... I always go here .....http://www.marinac.f2s.com/comping/marin.html
where the answers are published to each weeks magazine usually on a Saturday or Sunday.They are such boring puzzles I can't be bothered to fill them in myself.
I really don't care if DKeyse spots my answer because millions of people buy these mags .You have to be in it to win it. If you use the site do leave a comment in Marinas guestbook.

I think the answer is ROAST

I enjoy doing all the comps without having to look up the answers I do NOT find them boring, its fun, and its good the know I can ask or look up an answer as a last resort

Good luck allotment10

[poorclare]

Sorry

Good Luck

thanks to you all, no jan, i've not worked it out, doesn't make sense to me at all! (and i'm useless at sudoko as well! i go to sudoko solver for them!) i tried putting in the letters you suggested but still no luck,i'm going to wait as shaneystar2 suggests and get the answer of marinac, saves doing my pension head in! thanks again.

Hello Allotment10, I don't read that's life. But it looks like they're got the message in Real People with the win a holiday puzzle, the pictures don't spell a word until they've been rearranged into BIKE. Is issue 1 clearer now we have the answers? No they say arrange them to make a four letter word but they spell BOSS as they stand. FRUSTRATING!

[allotment10]

hi melbur, great to hear from you, this puzzle gets more frustrating each week! as you say sometimes the word spells out a direct word and other times different words, i only got the 1st picture Koala, and the 3rd picture Ipanema, is the E for euro disneyland? (4th picture) so what is the 2nd picture supposed to be? YES.,FRUSTRATING! how did you the B for the 2nd picture? PLEASE let me know,

[Melbur]

Hello Allotment10, I thought the pictures are Koala, Island adventure, Bum! (checky) and Euro Disney, rearranged into BIKE.

Do you think Dykeyse and victormeldrew are one in the same? could be I think. He's an right sourpuss isn't he.

[allotment10]

reckon your'e right! BIKE it is then, thanks for all your help, if dkeyse and victor meldrew aren't one of the same they ought to get married! they make a right pair! x

[allotment10]

melbur- have you read the post by loulou80 (elbow) ? it's just brilliant, i laughed so much , ended up with stomach ache, you have to read it!

[shaneystar2]

Hi allotment ...thought I would just let you know that I have reported you know who to the ED as I was getting really fed up with it. ED has kindly mailed me back to say that they have been warned before and have now been banned. So we may have peace and quiet for a while ! No doubt they will be back with another user name at some stage though ! But in the meantime..
Happy Puzzling
Shaney

[allotment10]

well at least we won't be getting any more sarcastic remarks from you know who! hope it stays that way, thanks, happy puzzlin' to you too! by the way, marinac site is great, saves me a headache, wish they'd do one for 'real people ' mag !

[Melbur]

Hello Shanystar2, that's greart news what you write about Dkeyse, Did you read my support message to you, jimjools and jan1956, I think it's been removed because Dkeyse has been banished. Happy puzzling from now on.

[Melbur]

Hi alloment10 I couldn't find the post from loulou80, can you give some more info so I can find it. Good news about Dkeyse, I giggled what you said about him marrying Victormeldrew. Shanystar2 website tip is good isn't pity they don't cover all the mags we do. x

[allotment10]
