Lovers	8 January 2023, 13:51	Well - the bottle is empty! One glass is half empty & the other two thirds full!
Beach Umbrella	8 January 2023, 12:59	No, no, no - that's wrong on every level!
Beach Umbrella	7 January 2023, 21:51	I do try, in fact my Missus says to me, "you are very trying", every day!

Beach Umbrella	7 January 2023, 13:07	Really sorry - the best I could come up with at short notice. It is however, very practical.
Cassette Player	6 January 2023, 15:38	And even before this and this, there was this
Door Handle with Lock and Key	4 January 2023, 19:48	And he's not the only one - once the door was finished (I had to take it off to plane the bottom) - I sat down with a proper brew & did an old puzzle by marmotM. I am now totally freaked - the solution was "PLANER" - help!
Door Handle with Lock and Key	4 January 2023, 14:24	Who - what are you talking about? Oh - now I get it - I read my own comment & realised that I had forgotten it already! This mind scrubber is dangerous!
Door Handle with Lock and Key	4 January 2023, 13:28	It's not that I suffer from paranoia mindscrub - but I am a little worried. My front door has swollen during recent wet weather & I can't open it. This morning's job is to fix it. Oh & last week a key snapped off in the lock - I managed to remove it using a strong magnet - but this afternoon I need to get a new key cut! See why I am concerned about your puzzle?
Gibson Flying V Guitar	2 January 2023, 12:39	Well, like Onion said - you can put whatever you like in your tea. I would prefer bleach to cream in mine - & don't forget that it illegal in the UK to add cream to tea (Tea Adulteration Act 1873).
Gibson Flying V Guitar	2 January 2023, 3:13	Please see: https://www.streetdirectory.com/food_editorials/beverages/teas/learn_about_the_dos_and_donts_of_drinking_tea.html The only time tea & cream go together is in a cream tea. Clockwise from 10 o'clock: Teapot / milk jug / hot water jug (for topping up teapot) / cup of tea / unprepared scones & jam / scones with jam & clotted cream. Delish!
Teapot	1 January 2023, 21:31	There is a LOT of humour in Yorkshire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cipMoGKXGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iehQIDBKu0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tat2kiyDggg Finally - how to make a proper brew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-zmjLd67k0
Teapot	1 January 2023, 21:00	So glad you like it Mr Wonderful. Now I'll up the odds!!! I actually use Yorkshire Gold (it a well kept Yorkshire secret). And in this link you can read about Taylors / Bettys Tearooms (very grand - waitresses still wear traditional black & white). https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahturner/2018/03/22/the-famed-yorkshire-cafe-that-blends-nostalgia-with-profits-and-conservation/?sh=67ded7e87a4e For bedtime reading may I suggest https://www.bettysandtaylors.co.uk/our-brands/yorkshire-tea/
Gibson Flying V Guitar	1 January 2023, 19:45	Cream in coffee is fine. The comment was an add on to Mr Wonderful's teapot puzzle where their is much discussion as how to make proper tea! Cream doesn't go with tea!
Teapot	1 January 2023, 14:31	Groans Well - how was the taste?
Gibson Flying V Guitar	31 December 2022, 16:57	Not for you the tentative 5x5 ant puzzles, nor the cherries & snails at 15x15. Oh no Mr Wonderful - you come straight in at Master's level with ice cubes on a magic carpet - and now this! A Gibson Flying V Guitar - with no strings attached! You do realise that this elevates you to the upper echelons of nonogrammers? And don't forget the milk goes in the tea! NEVER use cream!

Melting Ice	31 December 2022, 14:47	I know - just winding you up!
Teapot	31 December 2022, 14:45	pouring
Teapot	31 December 2022, 14:44	Please read my reply to TNG Yours Incensed of Yorkshire
Teapot	31 December 2022, 14:42	Yes TNG you should. There is disagreement as to whether the tea or the milk should go into the cup / mug first. The milk should be added to the tea - so that you can gauge the amount of milk required by the colour of the mix. I know of people who add the milk to the tea before poring over the boiling water. These people should be hung, drawn & quartered as the brew cannot reach 100 degrees! Likewise so should people who suggest CREAM, HONEY, SPICES, MAPLE SYRUP, WHISKEY or APPLE JUICE - esp. CREAM!!! Real men from Yorkshire drink it from a pint pot!
Melting Ice	30 December 2022, 16:40	3 cubes laying in different orientations is brilliant! Magic carpet is wonderful! Not so sure about the floating bits. You are coming on leaps & bounds Mr Wonderful!
Tears	30 December 2022, 13:06	For you to produce this many - Mrs Wonderful must have been really nasty to you (or is some of that mascara)? Great image despite the bottom left looking like a broken Yale key! Could be a hidden message - she has finally broken him with the key to her heart?
Fire Extinguisher	29 December 2022, 16:55	"I put this out in less than 25 minutes" Fire extinguishers don't last that long!
Ball Gown	29 December 2022, 16:04	This electrician was expecting a G10 bulb whilst my twin the astronaut was expecting a lift home from the moon!

Teapot	28 December 2022, 15:56	Are you suggesting that I am not the missing link Onion? You scallion!
Teapot	28 December 2022, 15:54	Thank you TNG and thank you Mr Wonderful! Time for a proper brew - made with Yorkshire tea - grown in the foothills of the Pennines.
Bath Time	24 December 2022, 4:25	And the bathmat?
Gaze	23 December 2022, 15:55	It was a fish sandwich - until it wasn't
Bath Time	23 December 2022, 14:31	To me - the window looks upside down (unless it has a blind pulled 2/3 down) and although there's a mean looking showerhead - there are no taps. I love a fluffy bathmat - but Mr Wonderful appears to omitted this essential item - most worrying is that there is no rubber duck!
Volley	23 December 2022, 14:13	Tricky using Xs. This new artist is very talented!
Volley	23 December 2022, 14:10	Can't be - the title says volley so must be playing volleyball. It's a very good image for a new artist - I wonder who trained Mr Wonderful so wonderfully?
Beach Sunset	23 December 2022, 13:36	Make allowances for goodness sake - he's married to TNG - that alone must give you a very distorted view of the world?

Sweet Tooth	21 December 2022, 13:32	Great centre parting
Row, Row, Row Your Boat	21 December 2022, 11:45	Oh come off it mindscrub - she was going to be a high kicking dancer - but you couldn't get the legs right!
Dame	21 December 2022, 11:31	Matilda was born in 1910 and married at 19. Arthur was born 1931. I was born 1955. Does that work?
Pig	19 December 2022, 15:38	Must be the puzzle Onion - given that I find you extremely difficult all the time!
Rebus	19 December 2022, 13:58	Best I can do is игрa. Some sort of computer game?
Dame	19 December 2022, 13:00	For some reason I am reminded of my paternal grandmother's wedding photo c1929. I wasn't there of course

Sad Woman	17 December 2022, 13:04	Sad because mindscrub's puzzles are too difficult for her to do without using a single x perhaps?
Miller's Daughter in Rumplestiltskin	17 December 2022, 12:39	Wonderful construction!
