Prog / Re: Prog 1783 - We Hate Pete Wells
23 June, 2012, 10:17:05 AM
A joke I once heard:-
Name changed to suit the current Block-mania that has gripped us readers.
A man is leaving the pub one night and as he leaves the pub he bumps into a fella.
The fella says "watch it mate, don't you know who I am"?
The man says "No, should I"?
"Of course you should, I'm Pete Wells" says the man who got bumped into
"So" says the other man
"Well everyone knows me" says Pete Wells
1st man says "I bet not everyone knows you"
There is a long series of events whereby they travel arguing and everytime it seems when challenged that everyone knows who Pete Wells is.
Finally they travel to Rome with the first guy staking just about everything on the hope that he can find someone who doesn't know who Pete Wells is
They are at the Vatican and the first guy says to Pete Wells "I bet the Pope doesn't know you"
Pete leaves first guy and after about half an hour first guy looks up to see the Pope and Pete Wells on the balcony shaking hands.
Mind blown first guy turns to someone finding this all hard to believe and he says to someone in the crowd in
and says "is that the Pope up there"?
and the person he asks turns around and says "I don't know, but that's Pete Wells"
this joke was bought to you by a story I was told by a guy who sprayed Martin Young everywhere and while the cops searched for him high and low they failed to realise it was a scrawl alias...funny cuz he'd sprayed/painted it all over town.

Alert? Keen and concerned...

First off, let me begin by saying that I hope I am posting on the right thread. I had thought of several ideas concerning a title for this post regading the domination of The Meg by one of us, namely Pete Wells and remembered this thread and thought perhaps it would be more apt to post in this one. Please if you have a problem with poor grammar and construction of posts on the board feel free to not read this as I do ramble and poor punctuation does I know, not make for great reading, however if you stick with it you might find some food for thought. I am posting because I haven't seen anyone else address the things I am going to attempt to address in this post.

IIRC Pete has comissioned works to be drawn with his name appearing on either a Block, as was recently demonstrated or on the name of a shop..I know of the picture with the mech yard and Dredd fighting a horde of droids and perhaps errantly think or imagine there to be many more. Trying to post this in some semblance of order I suppose I should approach this in a Judge type fashion and say that Pete has not broken any rules and everyone is free to comission works of art bearing whatever name, slogan or graffiti. I know noone hates him for it and it is merely a case of people looking with green eyes at someone who had an idea and thought to pursue it!. I can't help but chuckle whenever I see Pete's name now as I don't know if he is trying to scrawl his name, claim some fame or in some dodgy fashion become either Aaron A Aardvark or Rex Peters. I know I have only named him as two twooth characters but I also think of him as being either Chopper, the Phantom or Richard Branson with his company's logo of Virgin appearing on Mobile phones, Internet and television, Banking and an airline to name a small number of his enterprises...I know he also owns a train set  :)

Does Pete have an endgame envisaged? Is he scheming? Should we be worried? I think this is all best summed up by a loyal fan of the prog like myself, as the situation that occurred in the film Timecop, where Jean Claude Van-damme's character time travels to solve crimes and during his last trip to the past, the name of the company sponsoring the technology to time travel on the wall of his capsule changes when he returns from that of the corrupt politician to the name of someone else...Has one crime been solved and another committed? One thing is certain though judging by the look on his face his memories haven't changed and he is aware of the things that are different. Imagine having the recent prog of the PW block in day of chaos and one day you opened it to see Roger Godpleton block?

In the spirit of what Pete has done I would like to ask that we twothers would create in-jokes for our community along the lines that should anyone ask someone aware of the prog where they lived that they would give a number, road/street/avenue or town/village/city as being number/Pete Wells street or Peteville.
I also thought about this and recalled once when trying to come up with a nick for myself on AOL messenger and having exhausted all nicks I could think of I chose Rex Peters (The humour is apt given Pete's domination of the Meg) I can't remember if this nick was permitted but I do know a club I was part of once after this happened had two profiles of members with different cars named Rex and Peter. Lobster Random also had a story arc concerning a Mister Big who had a conjoined T-rex and the drug of choice was "Haute" (still don't get it myself, the drug name but hopefully others who have read this far might offer an explanation on how that is funny???)

Lastly...thanks for reading this far, I've almost finished! If anyone in our community is asked what they are drinking or what would they like to drink may I also suggest we answer T-rex blood ? :)

serious though, thanks if you read this!!!
Take care, wear underwear!

Links / Music in the Yap shop
04 April, 2012, 10:34:04 AM
I've tried getting on with the Xylophone in Paltalk and many different other ways too, but I think I have found a new way to play music in the Yap shop (trouble is it will be limited to the first 10 or multiples of 10)
If anyone is interested in listening to music and will be in the Yap shop tonight....it might be an idea to install Google+ and then after familiarizing yourself with that have a look at the cool side to it called Hangout.
Hangout is similar to www.youtubesocial.com and also synch tube, where it differs is you are limited to a maximum of 10 people in a hangout but you can via choosing apps select you-tube and have it play music/music videos simultaneously whilst you stay chatting in Paltalks Yap Shop...there is a chat function available in hangout but it is limited compared to chatting via Paltalk which gives you a changeable size chat window.
This has been part of a public service announcement on Behalf of the Rowdy Yates Block Citizens Yap Shop.
Being predictably unpredictable I am uncertain whether I will make the chat tonight as I have ordered myself a box of Black Magic (Guinness not chocs) and aim to consume a binge level amount of stout in order to bring about a state of illusory happiness.
I hope this doesn't sound like a demand note or a ransom note along the lines of I might take note of others up to about 15:00 because that is when the guinness arrives and will more than likely be sacrificed.

See you on the road Bronze!!!

Creative Common / Re: Judo's sci-fi writing
27 March, 2012, 04:23:14 AM
I really enjoyed that too! So Much so it didn't need art to convey the story! Maybe it would be helpful in certain ways with art but standalone it's brill. I loved the tank being blown up and the "What about the crew?" "We're working on that". I feel however, I must mention that I only gave Judo's story a go after having read a few of her posts on the board. I would not have accomodated Scojo the same amount of time but I think I can safely say he is a different kettle of fish. Also one of Judo's pics reminded me of a curious incident in the canteen either last year or the year before where I was looking at the shutters where the food came out of and someone crept up behind me and pointed her fingers into my hips.I said hi and then the persons name and I still say I felt like I turned round and saw her but according to the others in the queue I didn't turn around. Believe it or not? or Bull leave it? As for Judo my impressions are this, she has qualities that for males equate to having big balls in terms of being confident but I spose the comparison is incorrect for many reasons and should be put down to female intuition? Anyone care to put me right? Not bothered and if someone did show me where I was wrong I'd appreciate the lesson so I could avoid doing it again. I'm not educated and have more akin to BSE than gcse or cse.

This is the reply I got today from Steven Pound, it seems he is dealing with a lot of concerned people wishing Brett well!!!

Dear Anthony Green,
Thanks for this and absolutely no blame was identified by me.

I am in daily contact with the prison governor and with Brett's family and it is difficult to respond individually to the scores of people who are contacting me from all over the world on this subject.

It is a justified tribute to the genius of Brett Ewins but very difficult to deal with when the NHS "reforms", Afghanistan and the emerging situation in Irma demand so much time and attention.

I've just received another letter from the governor and am visiting again next week.

I'll try to construct a mechanism by which I can reply to all the people who are contacting me - even if it will not be a personal message.

Best wishes,

Steve Pound.

An additional letter I wrote to Steven Pound MP
(Just thought I'd keep the board up to speed)

Sir
I wrote to you yesterday regarding the care and treatment of your constituent Brett Ewins. I discussed what I wrote in that e-mail with others and they suggested that maybe the tone in my letter blamed you regarding his care. If my e-mail came across with the tone of blame I apologise! I am honestly worried that perhaps he isn't being given medication appropriate to his condition and was trying to see if you could account for it in a way that I would better understand. I, as a paranoid schizophrenic am only too well aware that should someone with a mental affliction not take their medication they will end up ill and inevitably be made to take their medicine via an injection that might have a lasting effect for up to two weeks. I understand that the medical jargon for this forced treatment is a "Depo" and the patient whether they be in prison or at liberty will benefit as a result.

Could you clarify for me whether he is refusing to take his medication or being denied? To be denied is in my limited understanding incredulous, as I feel mental health has ever since the discovery of neuroleptics and anti-psychotic medicines shown success in treating the severest of mental ailments. I am also aware that every patient within the mental health side of medical treatment is different and not all medications suit all people but even if there is a slight chance that he might benefit from treatment it has to be better than no treatment at all.

Thank you for your time

Anthony Green

To the board!
I wrote the following to MP Stephen Pound and am just cutting and pasting here to show others the bit part I played...I lurved Bad Company in many ways and the best bit in my opinion was the way things were slowly revealed, this added to my interest and made sure I read all of Book 1.

If we are going to work together to make sure Brett gets the correct treatment or treated correctly.I think we should use the board to maintain a continuity so as not to waste anyones time in keeping abreast of what we do done didn't. I just followed the sharks idea of poosting what he had written in order to either encourage or show others what he thought best.

"Sir

It has come to my attention that a member of your consituency is currently being detained in Prison and hasn't been given the medicine he needs for an already diagnosed condition. I myself came to know Brett through a story I was mad about called Bad Company. The Story was featured in perhaps the best of British comics for a generation and kept me entertained whilst serving the armed forces in Germany. I am now a Paranoid Scizophrenic and have an insight into mental health going back to 1995. Through my experience it has been the case that if I refuse to take my medicine I would be forced to take an injection to ensure I did not go untreated. How is it with the great leaps in understanding with regards to Psychiatry someone in need of help and who has been diagnosed is allowed to get by without treatment?"

Judge Jack ahem and others of course, whilst in the delusion of being Judge Jack, I thought about it to the point where in my mind Judge Jack was literally the hanging judge because well man...he dangled from a Tyranosaurus for three hours... Mind you I forget where all the robots came from because I don't remember seeing any robot army in "Origins" and if there was no robot army there where did the one in the cursed Earth come from? I reckon it's a case of the cursed earth mission being "The Justice team who walked up a hill and came down a mountain".

I used to be Mgubgub on the board but chose to change it to Duvet for irrational continuity reasons. I look almost the same as this guy apart from having lost a bit more weight around the jowels.

Also I'm still a newb when it comes to using the forum and wouldn't be surprised if my picture doesn't display using my web-fu

General / Re: Slaine Query
10 January, 2012, 10:53:55 PM
The three rays are also mentioned briefly in a story where Slaine is driven by his local cab/chariot and the guy has the three fingers on his headpiece.... Due to my being a lot crazy once in a dream where I got framed for a crime I didn't commit. Nicky Campbell from BBC Radio 5 live also made some kind of arm across his chest movement making the three finger gesture on his hand that he saluted with (He was wearing what I understood in the dream to be a Fleet unifom of a shiny material). In the dream as he did this I uttered script like words of "Oh no, I saw 'ME' first" as in doh, ray and me the first three notes of music.

Normal service shall resume shortly after the interval...
