Not true, sadly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill

Is this available yet?

In the US, yes.

Can recommend Chrome. Firefox uses up so much memory that it crawled as badly as hyper-infected IE on my Mac.

That sounds good - I'm always hearing about Croatia. What's the weather like there in the Summer?

Glorious. Boiling in the summer, but we went June/July and it was wonderful without being painful. Lots of great swimming - no beaches but that doesn't matter as the rocks are great to sunbath on and dive off and they helpfully have pool-style ladders to use to get out.

Croatia. Start in Dubrovnik and then island-hop up the coast. Can particularly recommend Lastovo.

'Scanner' is yet another alias of the perennial troll beneath our metaphorical bridge. He has been banned from this forum for a very long time.

I know I am relatively new on here , but am I missing something... :-*I did not see anything wrong with his argument -how on earth did you know it was him as it was a first post?

After being a poster on this forum for a decade now and after numerous Scojo incursions, you can generally spot him from a mile off. A quick check of his IP address confirmed it.

I was half way through my reply when the little warning bell rang in my head. I'll take that fiver in unmarked 5p pieces, thanks.

This limited edition Mega-City One Justice Department-approved beverage holder features the stunning wraparound cover from Prog 169 in 1980, drawn by legendary Judge Dredd artist Mick McMahon.

Matt Smith, editor of 2000 AD, said:
"The gatefold cover showing Dredd in a scene from the post-atomic American civil war is one of the defining images of Dredd from the first few years of 2000 AD so this is the perfect vessel for drinking the synthi-poison of your choice."

An indexing error meant that although the Meg had been uploaded, it wasn't displaying. Sorted now.

There's a worse horror lurking in the crumbling tower blocks of Britain than just feral gangs of hoodie-wearing teenagers, lone sharks and chavs. Welcome to the Concrete Grove. It knows where you live...

In a serious, literary and thrilling work of true contemporary horror, Gary McMahon conjures up a very different kind of 'Broken Britain' – a horrific vision of dark urban streets where crime, debt and violence are not the only things to fear. A housing project has become a gateway to somewhere else, a realm where ghosts and monsters stir hungrily in the shadows.

Presented by one of the most exciting up-and-coming authors in British genre fiction today, this chilling new horror trilogy shows us a Britain many of us will recognise, while whispering of the terrible and arcane presences clawing against the boundaries of our reality.

"Concrete Grove is easily Gary McMahon's most accomplished work to date. A compelling novel of extremes, it plots an exhilarating course through an unstable landscape of fragile love and blistering hate, of divinity and depravity, of the crushingly mundane and the numinously surreal."
– Mark Morris on Concrete Grove

The Stars My Destination. Worth a punt?

Best SF book I've ever read.

Well partial sanity at any rate

Spoken too soon :/

There is a tonne of stuff although nothing seems a direct lift of 2000 AD art:

Ta. Already noted and in hand, I believe.
