How come no one ever mentions when I'm doing a signing?
"MELANIE GEBBIE"
Surely that's a typo? It should be Melinda Gebbie, no?
"having had a chat with Mike about his Alan Moore interview, I'm really keen to read it."
Let's hope the Scenic Ramble of Reminiscence Round Northampton has made it to the final cut then.

I don't think we could ever have enough tales about Black Shuck and the Guy Fawkes conspirators. If nothing else, the y help distract from the fact that Northampton spawned Jo Whiley.

when i first went 'grey' i was only 15, and it was such a novelty for people (ie girls) to come up to me and ask how old i was... however, once i got married, had kids, and got into my thirties, i became just another old + old looking bastard... i was aiming for the "you're not really that old" angle, but you've brought me back to earch with a cheek-wobbling thud
*or* i might have mentioned it so that LMS gets the beers in ;) one can hope...

I wouldn't worry - people always remark how preternaturally old I look. By the time I get to your age, I'll probably have the appearance of a rangy-looking Wilfred Branble. If I live that long.

Very nice review there. While I'm reviewing the review, I should just like to say I hate the reviewer's cliched use of the word 'heady' as in heady mix(ture). What on Earth is it supposed to mean? Does the inclusion of comic strips, journalism and features in one organ cause a giddying sensation similar to the effects of (for examplre) inhaling amyl nitrate? I think not.
Anyway, The End Is Nigh #2 looks great, and I'm looking forward to reading it properly. I did glance through the 50 Things to Do With Your Last 7 Minutes feature, and I was struck by the fact that it's a huge relief to have gained a whole 3 minutes extra since the mid-1980s, and then I was struck again by the implication that to benefit from most of the suggestions in the article, one would have to be the only one who knows that armageddon is imminent. For example, there's only 7 minutes left to live, yet Games Workshop is bursting with teenage wargamers and one's acquaintances are sitting down to watch a 2 hour movie and don't want the ending spoiled...
I'll see if I can get round to reviewing it myself (double thumbs up!) if Christine doesn't beat me to it.

Possibly, but I just can't afford it at the moment. In any case, it would be a limited run of about 25 copies because although there's some remaining interest in #1, it's not yet enough to justify the extra cost.
Enjoy issue two - should have been posted today ...

What about putting together a PDF version of issue 1, then selling it through the EiN website for a quid? That way it?s always going to avaible.
Didn?t you already have that idea, Mike?

Of course without it you'll have to put in your own code to filter out those characters, which is what they actually should have built in.

You?ll have to stop describing EiN as Small Press soon, firstly it?s better presented and contains more entertainment than half the magazines on WHSmiths? selves (particular impressed with the professional print job this issue) and secondly due to the sheer girth of pages it?s anything but small.

What I did have time to read depressed me to fuck and I'm thinking of poisoning my family in their sleep, rather than let them die a slow, lingering death from radiation poisoning...

And the less said about Mulcher's sucking up to his missus in the creator index, the better!

M*****f*******b******magazine!!!!
Sorry James, I can only apologise unreservedly. To be honest, my only mitigation is that the majority of the magazine was put together at 4 o'clock in the morning and at 100 pages I'm kinda surprised I didn't suffer some kind of mental 'snap' at the end. All mistakes are entirely my fault, I think I've now spotted most of them and future printings will be corrected.
Dammit.
And JEB - after all she's had to put up with over the last few months regarding me and this magazine, Liz deserves more than a little credit for her saint-like qualities! ;-)
Anyways, glad people like it. Hopefully, next issue will be even better!
