Mmmm, as always nothing close by  :'(
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

How are Scottish boarders meant to bail out of an event that isn't happening?

Nick Percival has said on the faceybookthingy that he's doing a signing at Sheffield's Forbidden Planet  :thumbsup:

Not much 'happening the other side of Offa's Dike either.  Mr Goddard fetching over to Bristol rather than Cardiff doesn't really augur well.

Exactly!  ;) Can I suggest we all agree to not turn up at the same place and at the same time?

Even the Mighty McNeil is south of the Rio Tweed...

It's all right, that's in every contract.
That's what they call a sanity clause.
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause.

Juiz Dredd DAY - A LEI Impera no LE Burger!
Alameda Franca, 1055 - Jardins, 01422-003 São Paulo, Brazil

A LEI ACONTECE EM SAMPA! Dia 7 de setembro comemoramo o aniversário do cara mais casca grossa das HQs: Juiz Dredd! Quando Pat Mills desenvolveu a série "2000 AD", em 1976, levou seu ex-parceiro de escrita, John Wagner, para desenvolver os personagens. Wagner tinha escrito várias histórias no estilo "policial durão" e sugeriu um personagem que levou esse conceito ao seu extremo lógico, imaginando um homem da lei ultra-violento que patrulhasse uma Nova York no futuro, com o poder de administrar a justiça de forma instantânea. Mills tinha desenvolvido uma tira de terror chamada Judge Dread, mas abandonou a ideia. O nome, no entanto, com a ortografia modificada para "Dredd" por sugestão de Gosnell Kelvin, sub-editor, foi adotado por Wagner para o personagem final. Tantos nomes que passaram por esse ícone da 2000AD comemora sua criação. E a Mythos Editora conclama nossos revolucionários leitores para um encontro na Sampa do Futuro que vem declarar, definitivamente, GUERRA TOTAL!

This may lose a little in translation...

LAW HAPPENS IN SAMPA! September 7th celebrates the birthday of the thickest guy in comics: Judge Dredd! When Pat Mills developed the 2000 AD series in 1976, he led his former writing partner, John Wagner, to develop the characters. Wagner had written several "hard cop" stories and suggested a character who took this concept to its logical extreme, imagining an ultra-violent law enforcement man patrolling a New York City in the future, with the power to administer justice instantly. . Mills had developed a horror strip called Judge Dread, but abandoned the idea. The name, however, with the spelling changed to "Dredd" at the suggestion of Gosnell Kelvin, sub-editor, was adopted by Wagner for the final character. So many names that have passed this 2000AD icon celebrate its creation. And Mythos Editora calls on our revolutionary readers for a meeting at Sampa do Futuro that will definitely declare TOTAL WAR!
