Don't recall reading Slaughter Bowl, any one know if it was collected other than the 2000AD Extreme #23?

If it's knife-edge, I'd go Labour; if it's unlikely to swing towards Conservative, go Green if you think the party largely aligns with your own beliefs. (Having read the manifestos, I'd say the Green one has some issues but was broadly impressive. Labour's was comparatively meek and disappointing, but I'd sooner have Miliband in #10 than Cameron.)Quote from: The Legendary Shark on 07 May, 2015, 11:59:08 AMWhat the voter is doing is begging the people who believe themselves to be the final arbiters of which rights we can and cannot have for more.It's collective decision-making, but said decisions are made purely by those who vote.

So, I'm still undecided. I have just four candidates to choose from here in Crewe & Nantwich and Judge Dredd has told me to vote, so I can't abstain. To summarise my thoughts...
Tories. My tax has come down significantly, and the NHS has treated us well, countering many arguments against them. Business leaders and the markets seem to prefer them. But I don't like how they equate wealth with fairness, and there seems to be a general lack of compassion in their outlook – surely I'm not just voting from a selfish point of view, but for the betterment of the country (and the people in it) as a whole. The local candidate seems okay, and replied to a recent letter, albeit his response was fairly useless. George Osborne didn't reply to a letter. I've not seen any Tories campaigning which smacks of complacency, and there aren't any cool people urging me to vote Tory.
Labour. The idea of Ed Milliband and Ed Balls running the country is terrifying to me – I can't imagine either of them achieving anything in a professional capacity in the real world. I like Labour's old socialist values, but they're long gone and all I've heard this time is that they're about hard-working families and saving the NHS, but under the last Labour government my taxes were higher and they burdened the NHS with lots of PFI debts. The stock-market seems to have gone down as the chance of Labour getting a majority has increased, and I think they want to raise Corporation Tax, which as a small business, I find unacceptable already. I don't like the idea of a coalition with the SNP, although – admittedly – they've ruled that out. Labour are the only party who've actually come to our house and tried to talk to me, which I appreciate, although I confess I was a bit rude as the lady tried to accost me as I was struggling to get our crying baby out of the car. Lots of people I like and respect – including many creative types, musicians, people on here and the majority of people in my Twitter feed – are urging people to vote Labour. The local candidate is a doctor which has advantages, but he is a little underwhelming imho.
Lib Dems. I like Nick Clegg and think he has been unfairly scape-goated over Tuition Fees (it's not like the Lib Dems won last time, after all). I've voted Lib Dem before, but we're in what has according to polls become a Tory/Labour marginal, so I don't want to 'waste' my vote this time.
UKIP. I confess I kind of like Nigel Farage, even though I don't like or agree with what he says (if that makes sense!) But, no.
So, just four to choose from. No Green candidate, no Left Unity candidate (sadly), and no Independents, which I think is a huge shame as even if their policies aren't entirely convincing one can respect their drive and ambition (as long as they're not too extreme).
It's not like a favourite band I'm passionate about, where I want to wave a flag and run around telling everybody how cool they are. There's no candidate or party whose t-shirt I want to wear – there's no-one I actively want to vote for. But I don't want to not vote, nor spoil my paper. So, I've got 12 hours left to decide, but whichever way I choose, sadly, it will be with some reluctance.
Maybe next time I'll stand myself...(!)

Seems to list the back issues, strangely enough it lists all the way to issue 20 xD
I think you'll find it lists all 80...

I'm sorry if I've missed it in one of the other posts here, but I'd quite like to get a copy of the Mandroid book and the Hachette site is only really giving me the option to sub. Is there a simple way for me to get this volume?

Thanks for the heads up, I am assuming some of the items are inflated heavily?
I managed to get the free balloon on Ebay, and that was.
