In a charity shop yesterday and I bought a thousand piece jigsaw of Coronation Street characters from 1960-1995.
I have not done a jigsaw since I was a kid, looking forward to start it today.

Seriously Huggy you could not have picked a more difficult puzzle if you tried, sort out any pieces that are black & white & colour to try to make a line going across the centre then you may stand more of a chance, once you get going it could fall into place but that is a very big could Scared

Great fun doing a 1000 piece jigsaw and sense of achievement once completed. Care needed as you can get too wrapped up in it and miss a race or too....or perhaps that's an advantage !
Don't think the subject matter of Coronation Street would appeal to me though.

i havent done a jigsaw in forever. the other year i thought about getting into it. nearly bought some jigsaw ball things but i decided they were probably too easy. then thought about getting a mahoosive jigsaw but nowhere to put it. i looked at the big folding jigsaw things but didnt fancy it much. has anybody ever made a magnetic board with jigsaws you can do it the wall??
not ideal for a session, but you could do a few minutes each day when youre bored. instead of going to the fridge to find some crap to eat!

i always wanted the red dwarf jigsaw out of one of the episodes. but they never made one. must just have been a one off prop, cos ive looked everywhere and no red dwarf jigsaw exists.

just googled it and the original prop jigsaw is for sale for 349 quid Shocked

Hang on. That's Ena Sharples.

Easily confused.

Is that Elsie Tanner in living colour to the right of Stan Ogden? Be easier to do the sodding jigsaw imo.

It is her

Thank you, pumphol. I am in no position to be fussy as I get older, but I'd like to think I can still distinguish the Elsie Tanners of this world from the Ena Sharples.

Just fill in the child molesters and pedophiles first, this'll give you a good start, and after that you'll be fine.

I always start with Michael Le Vel, when I'm doing that jigsaw.
