A credit black mark is a hard thing to get rid of though. If you do apply for various credit cards and keep shifting the balance remember to close your previous account. Every application for credit is marked on your credit record. I think you're only allowed so many per year before all credit facilities are cut off. It sounds harsh but, I had to cut back on comic purchases, pints down the pub, cds from amazon and the odd DVD. It makes a big difference.

CC Bill? I'd stay away from all credit offers. You'll only get offered interest rates higher than the norm. My advice, cut your credit card in half. Make cut backs on your spending habits and just keep on chipping away at those repayments. I had about 5 or 6 years from my last year of university where I spent on credit like mad. It's taken a concentrated effort of over 3 years, to pay back thousands and clear 3 credit cards. It wasn't easiest of times, but coming out of the otherside with a clear slate is the BEST feeling. I won't be rushing into spending like that ever again. I hate credit.

Who cares! ?12.99 is hardly going to break the bank, and I'm not going to get wound up over a couple of quid. Don't Amazon usually sell books cheaper than the recommended price?

Not only does eyebrows share the same name as me, but my missus is also called Sara and we're expecting a baby too. Is some weird dimensional occurrence at work here?

Tintin and The Cigars of the Pharos. I love the art, Herge at his best.

Try that as a link instead

Gav, has the site gone down again? My browser can't find the server. Has anybody got the link to Techno Goblins site. I'm really curious.

Lets petition for book 2.

I couldn't understand the poor reception. Great story, fantastic art, that did a much better job of translating its Hornblower influences than the recent Moby Dick botch. That was so bad I can't even remember its name.

Has anybody else experienced problems with the FSF bookclub? I'm still awaiting the arrival of my 4th order which would've seen the end of my commitment. I placed the order in August. Had to wait until September for it to be dispatched. And now we're in October and it still hasn't shown up. The club are after me for not paying for items I never even received. Their attitude seems to be one of "well you prove that the items never arrived"!!!! How do you prove something hasn't arrived? Madness. The more cynical side of me thinks it could be a smart club tactic to prevent me from canceling my membership until it actually appears. By which time I've already been sent 2 further unwanted books. My advice, stay clear of book clubs. They're a nightmare to get out of, even when you've met your commitment.

only if you eat like a girl. Seabrooks. Crisps for 'ard bastard northerners.

Seabrooks are the King of Crisps. My personal fave would have to be a box of crinkle cut Canadian Ham flavour.

wonder if the collars n' cuffs match?

Are there any normal 2000AD fans? Ones that don't look like extras from The Helltrekkers?
