Title: Rogue Trooper T-shirt sighted in ASDA!
Post by: SamuelAWilkinson on 18 July, 2006, 12:12:29 AM
Saw a chap in ASDA in Leeds on Saturday sporting a shirt advertising our blue chum. As I'm at work, and heinously bored, and also beset by the paranoia that you'll all forget who I am if I don't keep posting, I just thought I'd mention it. Possibly, he was one of you lot. Also, possibly not.


I do despise being at work at 6pm...

Try being at work at 7:00pm! with the sun shining and dinner a good 2 hrs away.

New board rules. You have to say hello to anyone in a 2k t-shirt, hat, fleece, or thong.

I remember meeting DXB for the first time.

I think he mumbled something like "Borrag Thunng,"

I  replied" Squaxx." I held out my hand to shake his hand. It were great greetings.

(Or was it the other way round. Dave asked " Squaxx," and I replied, " Borag Thunng. ")

Grexnix Day!

Anyway it were good.

I remember the fellow Squaxx I met in London.  He had just snaffled the last prog.  I said, "Spludig vur Thrigg!" enthusiastically.  He replied "Erm, yeah."  

And left.

Any identified Squaxx must be pounced upon so a Rosette of Sirius can be drawn on their head.

In biro.

Depending on the relative distribution of this publication in certain areas I think fans are alittle paranoid in each others company.

Something to do with ones own supply of Thrillpower.

New board rules. You have to say 'Squaxx' to anyone in a 2k t-shirt, hat, fleece, or thong.

or all of the above?

I think so, although I've never bothered to learn the place's name. It's the one pretty near the outskirts, towards the A64.

I never do the driving, meself.

Was that you, then, LMS? I was the long-haired chap cutting a dash in the pinstriped suit.


Ooops. I've just remembered I was there on Friday, not Saturday as I originally claimed. The days all blur together as one sometimes.

Sadly, it wasn't me. I do own a Rogue Trooper t-shirt, but got mine after taking out an annual subscription and, while I admit I may be slightly more ... er ... portly than I was a few years ago, there's not enough takeaway pizza in all of Christendom to help me fit into it ...

Just been to our local Asda (the one featured in Shaun of the Dead actually). No Squaxx :(

If the average 2000 AD reader approaches me wearing a 2000 AD Thong the last thing I'm going to do is stay around long enough to say hello.

Cheers :)

I have worn my Judge Dredd and 2000AD polo shirts while doing jury service this week and two people have commented on them.

One who commented on the Dredd one because of the film and one on the 2000AD shirt as he was a fan a while back.

Should be pronouced,a nd what accent is best suited to it.

Sorry to say my enthusiasm for this publication doesn't extend this far.
