Had an awful group interview the other day. Imagine your stranded on a boat with your co-interviewees, a terrible storm/fire/event has happened. No sail, no engine, no one who knows how to survive on the high seas. Arrange these 15 things in order of priority. 15 items, water, sextant, plastic sheeting, petrol, army rations, other crap, etc.

First of all, does anyone know how to use a sextant? No, well lets put that at the bottom of the list.

Do we have any way of ascertaining where we are, apart from in the middle of the pacific ocean? No, well the map is useless.  

Chocolate? Well, I'm a women, hahaha, lets put that nearer the top! Yeah, Women, HA! They like chocolate.

Floating seat cushion? Well, while we're all safe on the hulking wreck of the boat it can't be that useful.

What if we all get chucked into the sea? It'll be a bloody scrum. What if there is only one of us left? Well, I'll be making a raft out of your bloated corpses.

Guess I'm the only one here who's read Watchmen.

I didn't get the job.

//http://www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/ has the cutest ever website, and although there is no details of events look pretty sweet.

One day, cheap convention on the 15th of November.

I like that it positions itself as a sequential art festival, as opposed to anything else.

Anyway, any insider gossip or news that I'm not privy to? Anyone else planning on attending?

Bonekickers, Torchwood, Spooks: Code 9... They should be good but they really suck, has the the BBc utterly lost it?

Are there many Manchester 2000ad followers?

I've been living up there for the last year, although I'm down south house sitting and writing at the mo. Just wondering if there was a secret decent british comic following that I've managed not to notice.

I feel like a complete dickhead! oh fuck, save me!

Hello,

I'm a 2000ad reading girl looking for a fella, i know i understand that  day, I'm not a super manga type of lady, I like manga, can maintain any conversation about  star trek , gene luke is a lovely young man.
,

I'm trying to sell out and need something good to jabber about in a job application.

A year or so ago ( possibly longer, my sense of time is worse than my sense of direction) was there a 2000ad-esk car ad, possibly printed in, or just sneekily tucked into, a news paper, possibly done by Spurrier and Irving?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, images would be adored in a christ like manner.

I think i dreamed a future shock last night, there was time travel, a robotic scotsman, some other robots, the usual sprightly, useful, fighting woman and massive green alien men jumping out on me when i was walking down morrell avenue... luckily they seemed to either be an illusion or crumble away.

anyway, thank you 2000ad and thank you cheap wine at the local, for a better quality of dream.

i remember being quite annoyed that there wasn't any handsome men though.

right, off to the gym with a hangover.

scuttling home alone from the campus bar to my little student pit tonight brought to my mind far too many scenes from campus slasher films to my mind for comfort.

there is such a glut of american campus horror films, as well as a far through teen drama garbage plots ( csi, silent witness, etc. us students always have something exciting going on!), that i started wondering whether this classic seranio/situation has ever been used in a meg cit story.

so has it been used before? or if not, why not? dredds been used to paradody pretty much everything and anything, so i'll be suprised if i'm stumbling on a new idea. MCU can't be a new idea!

I've spent today sweating, snotting and shaking. as well as wanting to murder small russian children in boots.

according to my mum, and i quote, "Statistically this is the day of the year when more people than any other day take to their sick bed."

Straw poll, who else has been right poorly today?

Yeah, i swear Minty was reading the Meg in today's episode. My friends were really unimpressed when i pointed it out.

Some how ended up having a chat with my Dad about Doctor Who the other day, and he said he used to fear the Darleks as a kid.

When i was young the Borg used to scare me senseless, I think the Borg are much scarier than the Darleks...

Anyway, which alien menaces were you fearful of as a child?

after my recent attack on the subject of gilbert hernandez and post-modernism, i thought i'd share with you guys this crazy but interesting essay i found. it's great to find a art historian who blatently loves comics.



i'll give anyone who reads all of it a quid.

Did i just totally miss out on Children in Need?

Looking at the letter page last night i ponder Johnny Alpha's bum.

I mean do all comic creation automatically have a fine booty?

Even Scally Smith from the VC's?

thank god im a good girl!

Just wondering who has actually found love through being a geek?

once i was waiting at the train station reading 2000ad and some just actually started a conversation which " do you like role playing?" if he wastn't a blatent geek king he would've had a broken nose.

has anyone actually statred a romance in sucha geeky way?

it find the pretend swearing in DMW awful. it's really distracting and genrally annoying.

i can handle the occasional "funt!" in sinister dexter, but in DMW it just seems like it's poorly writen.

i know it maybe a case of trying to predict the modernisation of language or not make the parents of the few kids that actually read 2000ad revolt.

i would much prefer it if you just f**king stared it out, for shivs sake.

well, i've just had a pig ol needle shoved in my wrist and the results are slightly strange.

oics when i get back from college and sober up
