Hope you all like the cover

Thanks to Gary of Eccentric Engineering for letting me shuffle his stuff around so I could get a clear shot of his handiwork. Well worth a look at the details of Cuborg. I sometimes wonder if we should all have a go at making weird and wonderful things for the fun and relaxation of not having to follow a plan or achieve a fixed end result.

> When you know, can you be a bit more specific and give a date please!

Sometimes there are 3 or 5-week gaps between issues due to holidays etc.

Electronic is usually available the Friday of the week I change the preview info on this website.

Posted out copies sometimes arrive on the Saturday or early in the week after.

In the shops around about the following Friday.

I can't give an exact date for in the shops, and without wanting to seem selfish I'm, not making the 7-mile round trip plus parking just to check WHS every day

My editorial copy can arrive anything up to a week after you lot get yours, depending on how its sent … but the downside of being editor is that I already know what's in it
