Well as us Squaxx in CalHab have been asked to limit our outside contacts I can consider myself "trapped" so as my kids got me a dart board for Christmas and Mrs McFad allowed me to set it up in the spare room/office instead of outside under the canopy where the old one is I whipped up my latest project.
I had a couple of bits of plywood lying about and used some of the old progs (low grade) which I had bought for a previous project.This time it was only Dredd and all coloured pages.

I still need to get a portable score board rather than a bit of paper. But chuffed with the result and I can practice in the warmth

A bottle of Bunnahabhain, Highland Park and Port Askaig all single malts but the only reading material I got was the complete Cam Kennedy's HC. So I'll have to purchase some more material in the new year to see me through those malts 😁

Oh and socks!

Perhaps. But despite everything, polling in Scotland hasn't substantially shifted. Also, even if 'leave' were to win there, the country would be deeply divided on the matter, which—as we've seen with Brexit—does't necessarily bode well.

I agree polling isn't at the tipping point yet and I would prefer an independence vote of 65% to bring most of the population along. (Can but dream).

I don't know how much the longing to be part of the EU will be in peoples mind.I know I'd prefer to be in the EU even if it meant a hard border between Scotland & England - and I love popping down south for visits. But only to deal with one border is easier than 27!

It's still a long way off and may never happen in my lifetime but it's inching closer?

i remember many, many conversations at the time about cameron being the 'worst prime minister ever'.
then may took the crown.
then bojo took it, easily, and transported us all into the ninth circle. he has even made jeremy hunt look like an empathetic statesman - in comparison.
i have no doubt that whoever comes next will be even worse. raab? gove? patel (and under her premiership, i wouldn't be at all surprised if the tyburn death circus made a comeback)? gloriana truss? sunak, the current favourite (although he will embarrass us less internationally, with his seeming to possess at least a veneer of respectability, we must never forget his culpability in being the architect of the eat out to help out massacre - and sources have it that it was sunak who prevented bojo from taking any of the measures at covid mitigation suggested by the country's leading virologists and epidemiologists this week)?
there is nothing good to follow, whenever the blond buffoon goes.
hohoho.

Any of those mentioned above can only mean a step closer to independence for Calhab 😁

As I've said on AlexF's blog thread I have fond memories of the 2000AD Annuals through the 80s. I'm surely not the only Squaxx who was enticed into Tharg's world (even though at the time not a subscriber to the weekly prog!)

For the hard core at the time they may not have have Thrilled enough for some but looking forward if this is the seeds that Regened sows then Tharg will have followers for the future 👍🏻

Don't know whether to post on here or the Advent comments - another great read and a reminder how through the years these specials are more seasons start than an end of year wrap up. The excitement is building.😁
