Title: belated hello
Post by: Tjm86 on 13 November, 2009, 06:00:48 PM
have been trying for a while to figure out how to solve a grievous error of propriety, having started posting without having introduced self.  A very civilised Mr Gloady suggested doing so anyway so here I am, atoning for such an act of incivility ...

long time reader ( one of the oft loathed 'well I bin reading since prog 1' brigade, although in fact 'twas from prog 30.  Long time subber to both tooth and meg.  Bit eclectic in general reading tastes and always welcome a good recommendation for something new.

So, hello ....

... and sorry for taking so long!  :-[

Hello Tjm86,

belated welcome to the forum, it's not that long ago that you started reading then, what with prog 30, new boy ;)

Welcome again, it makes it a bit easier to feel part of the community.  Many long-time lurkers here, so you're in good company.  And the less said about my 650-700 arrival the better (I don't remember the EXACT prog because the next day I ran out to my local comic shop (30 minutes away) and grabbed the best part of 6 months worth of thrill power. 

Best move I ever made.  Other than signing up here of course.  (Hopes Kate doesn't read this!)

Welcome aboard TJM number 86, I assume the first 85 didn't survive the board's rigorous selection process. Congratulations on displaying the kind of grit needed to prosper in this frog eat dog environment.

yeah, well I try not to talk too loudly about a brief spell in the wilderness in the early eighties when my mother caught sight of Nemesis ... nadir had to be Look In, but still fond memories of the Marvel Star Wars stuff.  Now I just keep trying to convince the wife that all those boxes are a prime future investment.  Just trying subtly to get the bairns into it too ( is 2 months too early? )

Nemesis!

In a parallel dimension there was no process white applied to that art and it's sold in brown paper bags to "discerning" customers.  Willys and fannies everywhere!  The main character has a willy for a neck for Cod's sake!

Ah, the investment line.  Complete ballsacks of course, but if that's what it takes.....
