I haven't opened it yet, but suspect your comment just might be tongue in cheek. Hope it wont be that boring. Anyway at least it means I will stop wearing the print off last months copy.

October one then??? Hmmm... I wonder why do they do that?? What did they think of the SBS then? Was it as good/bad as last years? Was the weather any good? I dont suppose they mention what any lottery numbers were in September or do I have to get Septembers out ?

I know exactly what you mean, but that one has to be for Kim H.
In the 'October' MBY there is an article about weather forecasts, but not for next month! which may help us see what they are forecasting, whether the accuracy improves remains to be seen!

I think we should have this in our FAQ section.

Basically, it's an historical thing dating back to when MBY and MBM were owned by seperate companies and competing head-to-head against each other. One magazine would bring its on-sale date forward by a few days to go on sale before the opposition and try to pick up a few extra sales. The opposition would respond by bringing its on-sale date even further forward. This continued, tit-for-tat, until the October issue comes out at the beginning of September.

So far we have never got more than a month ahead of ourselves, but if we were to keep it up eventually we'd be a month ahead of ourselves and we could all take four weeks off. Result!
