I mean the penultimate panel of page 4 has the guy say to JD "You look like you've seen a ghost" to which JD replies "perhaps I have, perhaps I have..."

a complete set up line for him then to say "For I saw that  man hang not 10 years ago!"  instead of "that man looks evil, dont trust him"

He is Mr Morden on page 4...

On page 5, he then says the guy IS undead, so go figure! (He is also immediiately changed his name to Arnot La Gross!)

Page 5 itself appears to have some major bodging going on to - the giant pic of Dr Sin vs the shrunken image of the guy meeting the Lord and some weird lines and a missing speech bubble inexpertly removed that suggest there may have been a logo and such excised?

More evidence  - this from the Judge Dredd Mega History book:

The basic plot concerned an eerie guy - Britains last hanginng Judge - who, along witha young companion, comes across illegal black magic practices being carried out at a place like Stonehenge. The Judge recognises the man at the centre or the ritual as someone he had previously sentenced to death.

"As for the original hanging judge sttory, the only trace is a brief entry in the 2000AD Make-Up book Prog 1-44 which relates to a four page Mills script (for which he was paid £30) calle "Black Magic: Judge Dread Original Installment One", and was drawn by Argentine artist Horacio Lalia. A Pencilled entry reads Unsuitable  - maybe except in Annual.

From Thrill Power Overload

(again Pat quoted)

It featured a vampiric hanging judge called Dread who leads occult investigations. The first story had something nasty going on a t Stonehenge.  Judge Dread recognises the leader of teh Satanists. "The last time I saw him was at teh Old Bailey, when I sentenced him to hang by his neck until dead".

Gah - lost half of that quote

continuing:

That was the cliffhanger of the first episode.  I suspect Lalia screwed up the art

As in screwed up by not drawing Stonehenge?

A question regarding the' Viewing who's online' - It shows People viewing topics and unknown actions but I've just come across this -

*Printing the topic "intercompany crossovers you'ld like to see".*

Is this an actual forum function or is it a bot? I'm not as computer literate as most of you and have no idea if this is something or indeed nothing?

So Twitter has 'temporarily limited some of [my] account features', which is actually all of them, and is requesting I supply them with my phone number.  It's doing this through my browser, not the App itself. Is this on the level, or a phishing scam?

It's of interest to me that this happened the same evening I've been actively arguing with - and reporting -fucking Irish racists.

Buy a burner sim (the cheapest Giffgaff is about six quid for a month) and use that number.

You reckon it's legit Twitter practice? If it is, I'm not sure I could be bothered. I hate to let racist shitheads go unchallenged, but it's not like I'm actually helping anyone.

TordelBack

Problem solved.  Ah well, back to the fray.

I only lurk on twitter -- his lordship does the actual posting for FQP that isn't just cross posting from the blog, so I've no idea if this is legit or not.

Did you log-in to twitter on your desktop and see the message or was it in a mail? If it was you looged in then I'd expect it to be legit.

TordelBack

It was legit - it just seemed odd that I was accessing Twitter through the App on a tablet, but the message popped up in a Chrome window and asked for a phone number. I would have been more reassured if the message had been in-App and explained itself rather than demanding confirmation from another device entirely.

I'm interested in why I was suspended when I was, but not very. Despite feeling a strong desire to counter fuckwits that claim to speak for me,  I think I'm going to have to trim my Twitter feed right down: ethno-nationalism, science-denialism and what I can only call eugenics (the weak must die to strengthen the volk) is just so unbelievably pervasive - and I mainly follow science, heritage, comics, cooks, TTRPG and comedians.

Abandoning the field to scum seems wrong, but they feed on responses, and I'm not doing any actual good and only making myself angrier and even more depressed.

I had a similar online experience recently so also retreated for my own mental health. Tugging on the sleeve of a bully and asking them to stop hitting that other person can make one a target.

If a owners of a bar let someone loudly profess the tenets of national socialism, then it's a nazi bar. Same goes for social media sites.
You may quote me on that.

I'm trying to remember the name of a (Glasgow) Rangers player from the early Noughties. He was a handsome lad, blonde hair (classic short back and sides if I recall) and possibly Scandinavian or Dutch.

(Me and Mrs Tips are trying to remember where we went for all of our wedding anniversaries and we saw this fella at Cameron House at Loch Lomond and I'm trying to work out the year)
Be excellent to each other. And party on!
