Hello from the new guy

[Tombo]

Just thought I'd say hello, you all seem like a nice bunch.

What's to say about me.  Let's see, I started reading 2000AD back in '77, aged 6!!! (Prog 9 was my first I think, but I got all the back issues from a mate within a month), stopped reading during the late '80s after the chaos of moving house five times in two years (amongst other reasons) before picking back up with Prog 968 (two progs before The Pit started, good timing on my part I reckon).  Started reading the Megazine during Doomsday and haven't looked back.

I'm a big reader of manga (about 500 volumes, various titles) as well as assorted other sci-fi and fantasy books, and I reckon Studio Ghibli make the best anime in the world.

What else, I'm creeping towards 40 years old, I've worked in retail for the last 12 years (RIP Woolies, I miss you), and I've had my photo taken with Steve (Interesting) Davis when I was about twelve.

Oh and sorry about the puddle, I got a bit excited when I saw Cab. Inc. is coming back.

Thanks for the welcome 

xxxxx? is that some imported Australian beer I've never heard of before?

[exilewood]

I was going to say 'cunts', but I was being fucking polite.

But, yes - welcome!

[Proudhuff]

Yeah, I haven't heard of Cabs' return. Please elaborate.

Have you by any chance taken your user name from the character in Kiki's Delivery Service? Tombo means Dragonfly in case you didn't know.

Which manga are you into? I've pretty much stopped buying it now after realising that Naruto, One Piece and Bleach will NEVER EVER END and will keep reusing the same basic plot until the end of time.

I love Death Note, Battle Angel Alita, Eden - It's a Perfect World!, Dragonball and Nausicaa.

Welcome aboard, have fun.

Sort of, Tombo was my nickname at school over twenty eight years ago when people kept mispronouncing my surname.  I'd pretty much forgot about it until I saw Kiki and decided to make it my own again    Nausicaa is pretty much the best manga ever written but I also like a really broad (some would say weird) mix including Death Note, XXX-holic, Fruits Basket (!?), Battle Royale, Black Lagoon, Yotsuba & !, and Fullmetal Alchemist.  I also love Neon Genesis Evangelion but despair at it ever getting finished.

Got to agree some other titles just seem to repeat the same story lines ad infinitum, I think I've got the first volume of One Piece somewhere but thats all, I refuse to touch Naruto with a ten foot day stick.
