prog 2006 is a no-show again this week, here in Ayrshire sector of cal-hab . 
I only received delivery of prog 2005 just yesterday anyway , so I wasn't building my hopes up for a delivery today . :-(

Its Thursday and STILL NO PROG here in Ayrshire sector of CAL-HAB DISTRICT !!!   Contacted tharg and got a reply, but I shall wait to see if it arrives tomorrow, before I call the subs dept.

Any other Ayrshire subscribers not receiving their weekly thrill power on a regular date?

My subs copy actually arrived on Saturday for a change !!!   My complaint must have been finally listened to by the local sorting office management.   Great to see Rogue back on the cover...its been so long.  Another good prog but its Counterfeit Girl that's lets it slip to a 4 out of 5 for me again this week.
  No letters page yet !!

My subs copy actually arrived on a Saturday !!!!!   My prog 2001 only arrived on Thursday, so 2 progs to read on a Saturday  :-)

The cover is one of my favourites for the year.

whoops looks like I copied the wrong quote...

[Cover]

Cover: Wonderful. 2000AD seems to have become the last bastion of good cover-art.

Dredd: I liked the art. I am not sold on the story yet, and frankly I have forgotten who "Sin" is. But it is a welcome change to the dull and endless "Judges vs Judges".

Counterfeit Girl: I am not a fan of Milligan. Normally I like the artist, but the similarity of the character design to Marvel's mutant Domino feels a bit strange and unneccesary.

Flesh: I just can't get into Mills, especially not in ABC Warriors and Flesh. Or Slaine. So this will be a few weeks of looking at the nice art only.

Hunted: I read the old Rogue Trooper collections, the classics only before the revamps, which all seemed to be a bit pointless, so I know the basics. But here I absolutly can't remember what happened before. On the other hand, it is Rogue hunting the Traitor General. Not so complicated  So, well. Even if I don't like Holden's art much, it can be a nice story.

Savage: Another one where the story lost me a long time ago. But the b/w art is nice.

My subs copy FINALLY arrived today ( Thursday ) as well Buttonman.   seems that the Ayrshire royal mail is lagging behind 5 days!!!

Still no prog 2001 here in North Ayrshire again. And its wednesday !!!!!    I know from speaking to my postie yesterday that all our mail comes via the sorting office in KILMARNOCK  (via Glasgow) and distributed throughout the region.  so the problem lies there in Killie. 

I'm still progless for 2001, on a Tuesday.  

I managed to speak to the postie and he reckons its the KILMARNOCK sorting office that could be  delaying shipment of the progs to us in Ayrshire fro some reason.

No prog 2001 here in Ayrshire , after spending the day in Edinburgh getting loads of books signed I was hoping to relax and read the latest prog.  The Royal Mail in Scotland is terrible these days.  Picture below is of Emma Beeby , Gordon Rennie , Tom Foster and Colin MacNeil.  Sadly, Alan Grant could not make it today .

I'm Ayrshire too, still no Prog 2000 for me!  I just bought it from Smiths.  Need to get round to contacting someone, did I read somewhere that it's not Denise any more?

As I said a few pages back it's been nearly a couple of months since I remember getting the "regular" Saturday prog, mine have been Monday or mostly Tuesday before they turn up, how have yours been?

I have to say, a big draw of subscribing all these years is to get the Prog early - I'm afraid one day early just isn't going to cut it, but I have *just* resubscribed so I suppose I'll have to lump it

STILL progless here in Ayrshire......not a happy chappy again today  :-(

It was a pleasure to meet you again Gordon and thank you for signing the many books of yours I had in my rucksack.

My prog 2000 arrived on a Saturday for a change.   Must be something to do with the Glasgow sorting office when they finish early on a Friday afternoon...lazy B******s

ANOTHER EXTRA SPECIAL PROG for the 40th anniversary   ,  I don't think it too many ;-)   Hope us subscribers get first shout at it.
