My condolences to you, Dash and thinking of you also, JBC.

That's a great anecdote, Sharky. Condolences on your loss.

Been listening to "At Swim", the stunning new album from Irish singer/song-writer Lisa Hannigan.

Below is a link to a video of "Fall", one of the songs on the album, followed by a review from the Telegraph.

Wow! I hope Tharg is watching. This droid has talent. Well done, sir.

I haven't read the full details of your recent troubles - I'm a tad squemish when it comes to reading about such things - but all the best with your recovery, BK. I hope you'll be better soon. Cheers - Paddy

So can we assume that you were shaken but not stirred?

Ouch and feck! Sounds 'orrible, TB. Hope you'll be okay soon. Cheers to ye!

Just saw this news posted up on Facebook today. Congratulations, Rob.
What an amazing collection! It can truly be said that you did not think them too many, lol.

My condolences to all. RIP.

My sympathies to his family, friends and fellow Forumites.

I don't think Dredd should necessarily be killed off, per se. Instead, I would like to see his last appearance in the Prog tied in with a story-line in which Mega-City One finally becomes a fully functioning Democracy. This would maybe come about following a Civil War of some sorts, with Dredd having to make a choice between an increasingly tyrannical and oppressive Justice system and a Democratic uprising led by the Citizens. Thanks largely to Dredd - and with a nod to Fargo - the citizens prevail and full Democracy is restored to Mega-City one. Under Dredd's instruction, the Judges cede their authority to the Democrats and become a police force more akin to current times, with all the accountability and scrutiny that entails. (At least in theory!) Having helped bring an end to the former Justice System which he has served for so long - and as a symbolic gesture - Joe Dredd takes the Long Walk into the Cursed Earth for the last time and into the worlds of Myth and Legend.

My condolences, Dave.

I would heartily recommend the link below when it comes to choosing the right kind of glass to imbibe from. One must have standards, after all.

Hi Fishy and glad to hear your good news. Hope the job hunt goes well. You could always try the Yosser Hughes technique as demonstrated in the link below, lol.

All the best - Paddy

I'll assume that was a belated April Fool. (Posting a link asking me to subscribe to the Irish Times, I mean, rather than the Ewok story)

Actually it was the Ewok story that was the April Fool's one. I wouldn't subscribe to any club that would have me as a member, lol.
