Hi there,

A friend of mine is selling his progs and looking for a buyer for his progs, approx 180-1400 plus sundry other issues.

He is based in the north east.  Spennymoor.

Anyone interested, get in touch, make an offer and I'll pass your details on.

All the best

Hey there again

The great clearout continues and I have another Dredd poster, some old progs up on e-bay.  With some games stuff and other bits and pieces to follow.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151048887523#ht_0wt_0

Basically I'm trying to support myself as I launch my range of little lead people via Midlam Miniatures, so in theory anything is up for grabs :)  If anyone wants to make me a ridiculously high offer for progs 1-520, a Termight Dredd helmet, badge and buckle, PM me.  Reasonable offers will, of course, be ignored disdainfully.

All the best

Again, more stuff reluctantly dusted off and up for sale.  Love these, but I have nowhere to put them, and I'm trying to fund my miniatures project.

Well, I've had a proper rake around in the thrill lock up, and have found some more badges, part of another set of the broach badges, a few that didn't sell first time round, and some other Dredd badges and a couple of Key Rings.

Next up (i.e. next week) will probably be computer games and posters.

All the best

Good afternoon citizens.

I'm currently raising funds for my favourious daft projects by clearing out lots of my 2000AD collectibles... ephemera... memorabilia... junk... er, stuff from the thrill closet and currently have some badges, keyrings and a Stallone film model kit up on e-bay (oooh... :)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150867765677?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'll combine postage and all the usual stuff.

All the best

Film & TV / Ross and Brand vs. Civilisation
29 October, 2008, 07:59:30 AM
As this probably deserves its own thread (or to be completely forgotten about).

I only occasionally listen to Russel Brand, but usually tune into Ross' Saturday Radio show (where he's much less annoying that his TV show incarnation).  When I realised Ross had been on Brand's show I thought that would be worth a listen.  It was sort of entertaining, not as good as Ross' show, as Ross was depserately trying to keep up with Brand for the most part.

Anyway...

The Andrew Sachs phonecall was pretty embarressing and well out of order.  Brand wasn't behaving well before the call, and Ross jumped in during the call and it was unrecoverable from there.  What they should have done was erase the message while they could.  Failing that just phone back and apologise.  But it was made much worse by the following messages.  Car crash radio.

I thought it would be in the papers, but as at least a week had passed, I assumed it had all been dealt with.  Ross was quick to apologise and even admitted on air that he knew he'd made a mistake.

Then up pops the Daily Mail, who turn it into a story to sell papers.  They repeat the claims before an audience who likes to be outraged and it all goes out of control.  Now to my mind, the Daily Mail owes Sachs a huge apology.  Who would have heard of it and how bad would the damage have been if it wasn't for the Mail (and the rest)?  

Of all the people who have complained, I doubt many actually listened to that radio show (or went to listen to it just to be offended).  Certainly Gordon Brown and David Cameron didn't.  Or all the other self-righteous gimps who have crawled out from under their stones.

While I hugely dissaproved of the phone calls they made, have every sympathy for Sachs (who seems to have maintained his dignity throughout) and his family, and feel there should be a sanction against them, I have to say I feel compelled to side with them against the circus of twats up against them. Give them a slap and move on.

Hi, I wondered if anyone had any contacts on how to become the experimental brain surgeon?  

For many years I have wondered what is in people's heads, and how to cut out the things that make them bad (i.e. are they a different colour, such as orange?).  Now, in my late mid-thirties I'd like to change career from library assistant to the cutter of the brain organ.  And yet, I don't know how, so I'm posting here on the message board for a comic which started in 1977 and continues to chronicle the adventures of Judge Dredd, sure I shall recieve an answer.

Please help, I am serious about mental.

Paul

p.s. I have already made a clinic in my shed, if you'd like to donor your brain, I have many buckets filled with vinegar readied and waiting.  I have practised on the squirrel, but it was not satisfying, and my home made anaesthetic failed both me and the squirrel, who sadly did not survive the delicate procedure with the masonry drill.

p.p.s. On second thought, how do I become Air-Traffic Controller, and control the big birds in the sky?  I shall make them peck my enemies to death.

Just to let you know that Wargames Foundry is having a sale, and included in it are the 2000AD figures!  

While they are much cheaper, they still aren't exactly cheap. Typically down from £5 to £3 but you can buy the figures outside of the sets to let you pick and choose and buying 3 of a figure works out cheaper if you want to build a unit or join forces with two other people.

http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/xmaswint ... /index.asp

Th figures are on the whole very good, some very nice sculpts, though scale goes out the window for many of them they are 28-30mm.  For people rased ith new fangled painted miniatures, they are metal and unpainted.

I've cracked and ordered a bunch as I happen to be about to play a Strontium Dog Game.

Classifieds / Free Stuff for Squaxx
15 September, 2008, 12:02:10 AM
Okay,the cataclismic sort out of '08 continues.  The following stuff is free in return for the postage.  Otherwise it goes in the next charity* bag/skip/recycling.  Anyone else ahs free stuff for squaxx, you can post it here.

Quatermass Novel - Novelisation of the fourth and final TV installment by Nigel Kneale.  It's a very good read, bit worn.

Shaun of the Dead Beer Mats - 3 of them.  I don't know why I ever wanted them, never mind you.

More stuff to follow...

All the best

Classifieds / Heroclix, finishing it off
11 August, 2008, 10:49:10 PM
Hey there, I thought as I'm keeping my 2000AD board games and rpg's in my clearout that I'd try and finish my heroclix lot.  And then, maybe have a game with them :)  Though I can't remember if I have the rules still.

I need the following:

Fear (V)
Fire (R,V)
Mortis (R,V)
Nemesis (R)
Torquemada (R)
Dredd (Promo)
Wulf (R,V)
Stix (S,V) (I also need a few more Stix, any rank, for a side-project)

I think there was an Anderson and Death unique as well.

I'm not looking to spend very much at all on these, hopefully mainly swaps, I have some 2000AD and a pile of DC ones (including some uniques).  If anyone else wants to swap figures, then feel free to use this thread to do so.

It's been a while since I've read anything, but I've had a quest for a few years to catch up on all those classic SF books that I've never read.  I've just finished Dune, which I really enjoyed (and it made some sense out of the films/TV shows), though I won't be bothering with all the sequals.

Anyone else got some all time classics they'd suggest, or a link to a good list of books?

Cheers

Classifieds / E-Bay Away Day
24 July, 2008, 12:46:14 AM
Hi all, going to hopefully have some long months of getting rid of a lot of comics and RPG/games stuff over the next month or two.  If you're interested in either, please add me as a favourite seller.  Got rid of some of my comics, I still have my megs and 2000AD's 521-present to get rid of, not sure how to go about it, but if you're in the North East you can collect.

Anyone else want to e-bay pimp, feel free to use this thread...

Off Topic / Chat night anyone?
17 July, 2008, 12:39:16 PM
Anyone fancy organising an alternative chat night somewhere on the net?  I don't know much about these things, but I'm guessing it must be possible.  They always used to be on Wednsedays and before the board was pulled I wuz enjoying them.

Cheers

Hi there

I'm parting with the majority of my 2000AD's (521-present with only a few non-rare issues missing) and my Megazines (from issue 1 to present, which are missing that tricky period in Vol. 3 and the start of Vol.4 before you ask).

I'm hoping to sell in chunks at the moment, rather than specific issues, so say a year's progs or a volume of Megazines minimum.

Most are in very good condition, though the odd one may have come to me a little worn second hand and some have had the subscriber postage incident, but most issues have been very well looked after.

I also have quite a few annuals (2000AD and other British comics) which are up for sale.

I'll take reasonable offers and I won't be offended by a low offer, but I'm not interested in dealing with traders and chancers.  If I'm a complete stranger to you, I'm well known on the board and easy to track down and have a 100% ebay score (ID: paulvonscott).  I like to think I'm honest and fair to deal with :)

I'm in the NE of England if anyone might want to collect.  And I'd say postage means sending them overseas is going to be very difficult (and expensive).

All the best

General / Judge Sweeney

In the general spirit of 'la la la', here's a scan I said to DumbLad I'd do and post up if he wanted, after all I could post it up quite soon.  It was almost 18 months ago....http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/paulvonscott/Sweeney1.jpg">

General / Positive things this board has done...
26 May, 2008, 09:35:22 AM
I've said everything I have to say about recent board events (see recent messages) and anything I haven't said is best left unsaid.

And while I often hear negatives things said about the board, largely from people who don't participate in it, I think it's a very positive place (on the whole).

So, if you want say one (or more things) which the board has done that is good, why not post it here and add a positive message on a positive thread about a positive board.

Film & TV / RTD, goodbye?
20 May, 2008, 04:54:43 PM
Just heard from a long time super-obsessive Whovian that Russel T Davies is no longer head writer for Dr Who.  This may or may not be true.

If so I'm sure many people have good things to say about him, he brought the show back and made some very good choices for the show.  

But for me he's far from being a great writer, and his interference in other people's scripts hasn't been for the better.

If he goes I'll be more than prepared to give Dr Who another chance.  I haven't been able to watch the 'success at all costs' approach to the show.

It's about my favourite TV show of all time, so I'd like to think it could become a show I could happily again, but just because Russel T Davies leaves the show, doesn't mean it will.

No doubt this will all turn out to be bollocks anyway.

Books & Comics / New! Omnivistascope issue 4
04 May, 2008, 09:39:24 AM
Well, it's that time of year again when I must don the ceremonial mask and begin the ritual of 'The Plugging of the Comic'.  And I can't believe I'm at issue 4, ther first issue seemed all so ambitious when I started it.

This year I have the biggest and best Omnivistascope so far, many of the old favourites are in there, along with some rather exciting new strips.

I'm previewing pages in my blog.  So if you see anything that even mildly arouses your interest, then I'd be very grateful of your support.  Every comic sold is a big deal for me.

Cheerz :)
