Not too many drinks now or QE2 might end up without lifeboats!!

Ha ha - not that sort of drink; just coffee, water, that sort of thing. ;D


Excellent work Pete echo June here , can't wait for a photo, by all means let'em have a go the more the merrier.
 

Thanks - I'll take it in tomorrow for them.  Their progress will be updated regularly.  Meanwhile, photo has been taken - just haven't got it out of the camera yet.

I'll let the office jigsaw club have a chance to do it before I return it; this is an informal group at work who do jigsaws in drink breaks and at lunchtime on a table in the kitchen area in our office.

This sounds so much like the jigsaw puzzling effort on board -- everyone who was around could have a go! An excellent idea, Peter :) .

They have been alerted to it, and  I am pretty sure QE2 is next in line after the one they are currently half way through...

One senior member of staff replied to me saying that he and his wife were on board from the maiden call at Edinburgh on 13th June 1993 while en route to Norway; he thinks their cabin number was 2151.  I have recommended he looks through the forum...  ;)

They're still finishing the previous jigsaw, which looked nearly done when I left work yesterday evening.

They've finished the one they were working on, but I forgot to take into account that there's another one thatw as already in the queue, so QE2 will be next up after that.  However, the one they're about to start is a map of the world, so I guess it makes sense to do that first anyway... can't navigate a ship without a map...  ;D
