I'll risk jinxing it by saying it can't be worse than Predators or AvP2.

Oh no he didn'
 
Barely managed to get through it this evening.
Sloppy and disappointing.

After extensive research I can now reveal that the optimum time to buy a service station sausage roll is 8.15am.

Could I politely ask for an answer to the following questions in the interests of reliability and validity;

1.  how are you defining 'optimum'?
2.  from what purveyor do you procure the aforementioned items?
3.  are they heated or chilled?
4.  do you consume them immediately or after having departed the service station?
5.  how many service stations did you visit in the process of this research?
6.  what would you consider the most appropriate cheese to use to remove a broken headphone jack from the headphone port of an iPod?
7.  what is the meaning of life?

Thank you for your interest in our project Tjm86 (if that is your real name).
To answer your pertinent questions:

1) Underside 5% too soggy / over side 5% too crisp.
2) Many different emporiums of high calorie minced pig intestines were sampled, including local favorites Centra, Super Valu, EuroSpar and Maxol. Alas, it seems 'Circle K' now has the monopoly in the immediate vicinity.
3) 15 minutes out of the oven.
4) One piece of piping hot sausage roll is normally consumed immediately, the remainder must await the short trip to the office for a complimentary cup of coffee.
5) All except the one that constantly has the magazines missing from the Sunday papers.
6) Only Halloumi has the necessary structural integrity to survive the process.
7) According to a 1980's episode of beloved children's cartoon M.A.S.K. it's "Love", but I have since verified that's a load of bollocks.

You could almost say it's a 2000 AD Simmer Special.... Will Gene bow out? Or bow-wow out?

Taxi for Canes! I've got your coat.

I'm sorry sir, it seems Mr. Canes had already been bundled into another taxi 5 minutes earlier.

Thank Grud, for the 40th bash, eh?

Indeed. I was on a strict budget though, walked away from so many potential purchases it physically hurt.

Anyway, Colin's recent enjoyable wittering on 90's Slaine reminded me that I have a few pages of pencils from The name of the Sword.
Really nice stuff from a young Greg Staples.

Is it really improved 'that' much? I finally gave up at the midway point of S08.

It has in my opinion Bolt, even down to the opening credits (now including some nice references and foreshadowing).

It's an all new set-up as of next week- a significant time jump, of at least 6 years.
Really looking forward to it, for the first time in absolutely ages.

Personally, I find everything about cannabis skanky. Anything that keeps some distance between it and me is welcome.

Same for me, despite owning a few Dr. Dre T-shirts and Bryan Talbot underground comix in my time.
Each to their own of course, but I always found it pretty repulsive.

Can't beat a nice bottle of Scotch.
