Bank holidays? Bah humbug - I want my prog!!!

"was 'good one' a reply to what i said or what you think of the comic?"

Ha ha, sorry Max, it was meant sarcastically about the comic. No offence intended!

Good one.

Thanks lobster, that pretty much says it all!

"But Jimbo, would one pronounce that "prooge" or "prowge"?"

I was thinking specifically of 'prowge'. Never heard it pronounced 'prooge' but that would annoy the hell out of me too!

"Shouldn't that be cast as in gassed rather than arsed? Cast as in past can only lead to confusion, as it could easily be read as parst.

(because 'cast as in past' has no more explanatory power than 'cast as in cast')"

But surely cast as in gassed is wrong? Then it would be cassed, with the emphasis on the ess's rather than the 'a'. Fair enough if you're northern, I suppose, but otherwise 'past' works much better.

'Prouge', as well as being totally incorrect, sounds bloody ridiculous and it always embarrasses me just a little when someone I'm with says it. The way you have to roll out the sound and stupidly over-emphasise that 'o', it sounds pretentious and twatty in the extreme. Talking about tooth you need a nice, blunt-sounding word, straight and to the point.

'Prouge...' Honestly, has anyone seriously ever said this and not felt like a complete gimp?

I know we sorta had a one-off in the xmas prog, and that the original story ended in just the right place, but why not Leviathan? There's got to be more stories to tell about the ship and its inhabitants...

So what's the relevance of the kneepad thing?

The pic surprisingly looks okay in black and white, but terrible on the final cover. It looks nothing like Anderson, and WHY OH WHY was a various-shades-of-vomit colour scheme chosen??

Bah, no meg!

Having currently read even less than you, oh piscine one, (i.e. none of it) I would neverthless like to follow suit and blag the second post on the Meg review thread.

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

"Looks like savage's neice got it 3 ways then!"

What a sensitive soul you are! :)

Yeah, perhaps I should have clarified that better, sorry.

In the playing cards given away with the meg, he's the six of clubs, the 'judge' suit. And what a damn fine six of clubs he makes.

It was good that he made it into the playing cards. :)
