Jigsaws

[AliBobbyJ]

Article in the Guardian about the rise in popularity of jigsaws, especially large and complicated ones. Puzzle makers can't keep up with demand and are saying doing a jigsaw gives people a sense of purpose, stimulates concentration, and improves your whole well-being. And passes the time, too, in a lockdown. Quite fancy having a go at one again, maybe the City store could turn out jigsaw puzzzles of great moments in City's history like the Aguerooo goal or Kompany's leap or the photo of Bert Trautmann from the 1956 Final.

P.S. L'pool could also do one but it would have to be incomplete & unfinishable.

I was hoping this was about woodworking.

Quite enjoy doing jigsaws, useful for distracting the Mrs when she’s got her eyes on some diy job for me. They’ve got to have a proper picture though none of these just loads of beans efforts

Our road has had a few puzzles go round between houses. (3 days isolation of not touching)

That’s what I thought it was going to be. Thought there was going to be an offer on for them online!

Hate jigsaws, drive me mad. Someone once gave us one for Xmas, which was 1000 pieces and made up a crossword, so every piece was black and white squares. So far so bad, but it was double sided!
Jeez, never even started it.

Prior to the missus retiring she started to buy jigsaws.She amassed a total of 28 x 1000 piece ones.To date she has completed 9 !!!
Idle git.Spends too much time on her bloody electronic book library.

Hardest jigsaw I ever did was a double-sided crossword. Bloody clues were too hard for me as well when I finally completed it.
