Think I might ditch the Carr book for the time being and enjoy Three Sheets to the Wind[/].  And my beer.  In perhaps lesser quantities as I have been lately though.
Think I fell at the last hurdle, there Tordels.  Er, so I did, so I did, to be sure, to be sure.

Outstanding, Ming. I particularly love the streaks of blood and guts, and the chap with his face ripped off.
Next up, I'd like to see the Iscariot from Killing Time...

I've found myself simultaneously reading Pete Brown's Three Sheets to the Wind (a non-fiction book about a beer enthusiast's trips round the world to sample top beers) and Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Drinking.  My brain is mashed.  They don't fit together in my head. 

I liked Snowstorm apart from the very unlikely scenario of a pusher [spoiler]affirming to Dredd that he was carrying, without even turning round to check who was asking.[/spoiler].  But it was one of the few Ennis Dredds I thought was pretty good.

Also, one of these had Jason Donovan (well, a future version of him) using sugar, and Dredd busting him. Again, he was undone by an improbable lack of common sense for an illegal drug abuser. Also, though i haven't re-read it recently, the story has to be dated now; featuring as it does the (mostly) long-forgotten crap musicians of the early 90s.  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95412.Judge_Dredd

But fair play, history has shown that the real-life Jason did indeed have a fondness for a certain illegal white powder around that time.  ALLEGEDLY.

Poudhuff's right, you know.  I remember you (Shark) posting this earlier in the thread:

If my landlord wishes to get involved in criminal activities then that's something I can't prevent. I can, however, refuse to get involved. If they leave me alone then I'll leave them alone, within reason.

From how you've explained the outcome, you have something of a result there.  As you say, even though the HB is being paid, you've done nothing whatsoever to accommodate this situation.  Unless I've misunderstood things, they're pretty much organising your HB themselves without your involvement - all you've done is listened to them telling you that it would happen.

As you say, it's something you can't prevent, but you've stood by your principles from start to finish.  Without losing your home during apocalyptically bad weather.  Sounds ok to me.

I actually like that last one!   

And Jayzus man, you're on top form today.

I'm here all week 

And Shaolin Monkey, I quite literally laughed out loud.

I haven't looked at the last few pages of this thread, but I'm hoping the new Dark Judge team includes a half-naked pirate and a rubber johnny full of guts. Fingers crossed, anyway

That looks disturbingly like that couple's two-person shagging suit in the first episode of Ulysses Sweet.

I suppose when you think about it, it is quite a novel concept:  A resurrected, immortal dead man with special powers, accompanied by twelve trusted followers who help him judge everyone else.

[JUDGE MRS BROWN'S BOYS!]

Well, there's plenty of room for more modern horrors here, to be fair.

I think you might be onto something there, Spaceghost.  Though I'm imagining it in blue.  Why are crap home-made Dredd costumes always blue?
My sister gave me a dressing gown in a Spider-Man suit design for Christmas.  I love it and I don't particularly like Spider-Man.

I was just thinking there, Dredd's suit is clearly a jacket and trousers given that PJ Maybe's old company used to supply trousers* to the Justice Dept.
But I find it hard to see it as anything other than a big leather catsuit and I think most Dredd artists have thought the same; which is quite disturbing when one considers the fact that Dredd is in his 70s.  I prefer thinking of Brett Ewins' Anderson in her one.
How do you see your Dreddsuit? One or two piece?

*Not pants.  Odd how much British English is going to cross the Atlantic within the next 122 years.

I did know what you meant, JBC, I was just being silly to poke fun at the idea that resources belong to whomever's land they happen to be on. Sounds good in theory but in practice resources belong to whomever has the biggest stick.

Can't argue with that, I suppose!

Water can be Irish? Does that mean raindrops need passports? Hell of a revenue stream if they can figure out how to get passport fees out of the clouds...

Ah, you know what I meant, Sharky.  I have an English mother and an Irish father, who is himself descended from Normans, who are in turn descended from prehistoric African humans, but the easiest way to put it is that I'm Irish.  Irish water is Irish in the same way that a Waterloo sunset is English.
