Also: habitual round dodger.  Be warned.

this is true, but it's also true that congrats on the new job are thoroughly deserved!

now bring the nz price of a prog to under 5 bucks and we'll talk

i moved to new zealand 12 months ago and i can tell you that i miss the bbc more than i can attempt to describe

the tv over here is a shockingly bad collection of uk reality tv, sub-par (or years old) american series' and kiwi and aussie "doco's" - the phrase 'you never know what you had until it was gone' is sadly apt

yes, there are wankers on it being paid inordinate sums of money for fuck-all meaningful or entertaining output, and it's impossible to enjoy and personally value *everthing* the bbc broadcasts, but the bits you do enjoy and - as others have pointed out - the social benefits that others get from it makes the bbc something to cherish and keep

and yes, i know i don't pay the licence fee here, but i'd pay it in an instant for a ramp-up in quality

most of the Big 3 are quiet these days...

what goes around comes around! - i love the fact that progs will pass through many hands without their thrill-power diminishing, plugging gaps in collections and finding their spiritual home.

slight necropost, but i now live in christchurch nz and will be off to the armageddon expo for some much missed comicy-goodness

any board members around in the land of the long white cloud?

copies have found their way to little old new zealand (and at a whopping $7.50 too!)

like some others i'm not sure about the story, but the art more than made up for it - well done sir!

although i managed to pick up the variant cover *not* drawn by matt which looks a bit shit. arse-licky but true

keep up the good work

Matt

no probs - glad they've gone to a good home

fresario

drop me a pm and let me know what issues you want and i'll see what i can do - no promises though!

again, due to my imminent emigration, i have a near complete collection of the megazine to give away for free

> it has to go asap!
> and it has to be collected from york

otherwise it goes on freecycle or the tip

cheers

thinky

drop me a pm with your address and i'll see if i can sort something out

thinky

I'm interested, logistics allowing. Where are you, Thinky?

i'm in York... aren't you in liverpool?

I'm actually off to liverpool tonight, leaving tomorrow around 2pm - i could drop them off if the timing was right

tinky

due to my impending emigration (and the fact that i can't be arsed trying to sell them piecemeal) i am offering a near complete collection of progs from 300 to 1500 absolutely free

only 2 conditions:

1) they need to be collected from york
2) they need to be gone by the weekend at the latest

if no takers then they'll be in the tip or on freecycle

cheers all

thinky

but if you can't get in let me know and I can send you an invite code.

a necropost for sure, does anyone have an invite code for demonoid i could use for *cough* research purposes?

cheers

Hi Mike

that's no problem - obviously i've no idea as yet on costs but will check if/when you win

good luck!

That pic of Pollack reminds me of the crap and particularly shameless transvestite that stalks Stockton high street.

and for me the one who works in Sainsbury's in Middlesbrough town centre... could it be the same one?
