I have an index of 2000ad-related music, which I update as and when (so I'll have to carefully go over this thread to see if there's anything to add that I was previously unaware of).

So you can have a "big, green sign" or a "red and white sign"*, but not a "big and green sign" or a "red, white sign".
* like a barber's shop.
Well feck me, I've been teaching English as a second language for nearly 20 years, and never knew the rule about the 'and' or the comma with adjectives.
If I may be a pendant for a second, though, I'd say that 'really' was an adverb, not an adjective, and qualifies the adjective after it rather than the noun - you can have a 'nice car', a 'really nice car' but not a 'really car', as 'really' describes the niceness rather than the car.

Southerly, Southern, Souther. It's what makes us all say "the little green pot" and never "the green little pot".

Quote from: Dandontdare on 12 December, 2023, 08:26:34 PMOh no. Only just got my copy of Lifeboat - reading that will be a lot more poignant nowSame here - ordered the day before Ian died, received the day after. Not read it yet, but I had a quick look through and the saddest page is the one that says "To be continued..."

The telly was showing the Real Ghostbusters to my age group, while Tharg was providing a naked man drinking his own bath broth shortly after shagging a goddess in front of a crowd, and ripping someone's heart out through his throat.

Hi All
I've been asked to share by Ian's family:
'Ian is now under sedation and his wishes are to remain this way for the time that remains.
We'd like to thank everyone for their kind messages and all were read to Ian whilst he was awake.'
I'm sure each message provided a special feeling and I'd like to share something Ian said but long ago that sums up the humour we all witnessed though his work and knowing him.
'I'm not very good at this dying thing'
What a legend😁
I'm always reminded at times like this of a favourite quote
Don't cry because it's over
Smile because it happened
❤️
Steve
