Random Observations

[JimBob]

Got back from part 1 of my holiday t' other day anbd read a big chunk of tooths. Observations from recent issues:
The art on the Dick Turpin Past Imperfect was really good, give that chap some horror stories to scribble.
Leviathon continues to be tops great story/art combo, and its interesting to note that Scarlett Traces amd LOEG 2 can happily fit together into one continuity, and the fact ST doesnt suffer in comparison shows how good a piece of work it was.
 Bizzarely there are Spanish Language Dan Abnett books in existance,(this led me to wonder if in a translated Sin/Dex Dex would continuely shout "!Oh Crikey!" in English for no discernable reason)  hopefully I'll be able to see Magyar and Polish copies in phase 2 of my drunken tour of the continent  
 The  Extreme edition showed that Judge Death has been distinctley iffy between Necropolis and the recent versions, and while I didnt particularly enjoy the content I'm sort of glad i bought it in the hope furhter editions more in keeping with my personal likes will turn up.
 The decison to have Wardog as the 2nd story in the Showcase project will probably kill it, it was an OK story but not something that 'll consolidate any audience 13 ropes in.
 Anyway rambling over (I was going to slag off the Gaiman marvel thing but i cant be arsed, oh and I reccommend Gates of Fire -a novel about the 300 Spartans-  and the recent non-fiction Alamien -dont have authors name to hand-  as good holiday reading)

If anyone has the Terminator 2 dic Region 2 DVD check it now!
Was talking about this yesterday with some mates and some found that their discs had become unplayable due to white transparent sticky film on both discs.
I checked mine today a low and behold the same has happened to mine.
I cleaned it off with CD cleaner and now it's fine.
Worth checking out if you have this disc.

Random Observation: Fibre Opitcs are actually quite boring when you get over the instinctual "Oooh! pretty!".

Try sitting through a four hour presentation on the little buggers and you soon become numb to them.

[Mr C]

See, you start to hate them so much you start calling them Opitcs instead of Optics.

Random Observation: Man in Plastic cage being tortured and humiliated by the great British public is entertaining.

Random Observation: Richard and Judy is not as good as it used to be or I've just got bored with it

[Art]

Supermarket Sweep, Teletubbies and Bargain Hunt have probably all lost their thrill by now as well...

Who needs those programmes now that *this* badboy of daytime TV is on?
