2000 AD Online Forum

Could somebody please start a thread about something they like?

I'd like to dive in and either

a) declare that I have "no interest in it, never will and don't care about the news you've just posted"

or

b)  declare in the most sarcastic way I can that the thing you like is actually rubbish.

or

c) cut and paste your declaration of love for the thing into my own thread titled "Here's something I really like, I made it all by myself, I didn't just copy it honest."

or

d) declare that "Yes, that thing you like was created by somebody brilliant. I've done a few tracings and, you'll be glad to know, I'm nearly as good as them."

or

e) Put my head in my hands and cry when, predictably, somebody else beats me to any of the above.

This thread is rubbish- and so are you...
 

Me like pointless threads that steal a few seconds therefore bringing me closer to death and the eternal void.


And cheese, I really like cheese.

Cheddar?

Only libtards and EC Socialist Garbage like cheese.  Cheese is one of the things that Zionists and Jewish bankers use to control Western governments.

This is true.  I read it the same place where I read how the US Government had banned the movie Tron on grounds of national security.

I like cheese, you calling me a banker!

Mark my words Rennie! One day the world of Tron will be a reality! Especially the light-cycle bit.

Quote from: "Martin Jameson"Cheddar?

Applewood!

Quote from: "GordonR"Only libtards and EC Socialist Garbage like cheese.

How dare you! If I wasn't so constipated from eating all this cheese I'd be off to post a jobby!

Ah, I knew all along you were the jobby poster!  I mean, I know I said on my blog that I had worked out who it was, and then had to admit that I was talking out my arse when I was actually challenged on it here, but I was bluffing all along, in order to lure you into a false sense of security!

God, I really am so clever, aren't I?  And a brilliant artist too.  Do you want to see the picture of Dredd punching Judge Fear in the face that I traced out a couple of minutes ago?  It's amazing, and actually better than the original, I think.

GWB was right you're all cheese eating surrender monkeys, we're not going to save your euro asses next time no sir!

I am rather busy now but i will be back later to deal with your sniping and inaccuracies in your comment yet again particularly as you are inferring that i "Trace" artwork.

See you later.

Thread to watch.  Need popcorn...

Cheese is irrelevant.
I like picking scabs. The more you pick- the more there are to pick.
It's a very involving hobby and I'm thinking of making a Tharg statue entirely from scab matter.

I hate scabs. Especially big ones which come off in bits and rub against your trousers to your great consternation through the day.

On the other hand, I do like cheese. Particularly Wensleydale, when combined with banana in a sandwich.

I'm looking forward to 'later'.

Mmm. Cheese.

-Bouwel-

TRACE!!!

I used a graphicks tabllet and followed the originel lines, actually tiding some ropey ones up then I ad-justed the image using a vareity of philters in photoshop - it's a homarge!!

Get back to your plaggarysm.

FFS you need a doctor!

I don't like the way this is headed, too much scab, not enough cheese.

Much like that sandwich I bought the other day.

Strathdon Blue is ok- a wee bit tangier than Stilton, but not as tasty as Danish Blue- thats class.

None of them are as satisfying as a well howked scab, though.

Might I recommend charcoal biscuits with that? They're fucking awesome.

Belly Button Cheese

I have always had a particular affection for the expression "I'm so hungry I could eat a scabby horse". That and "mad as a box of frogs" and the tasteless but funny "as much use as Anne Franks' drum-kit"

By the way, blue cheese isn't "class" Mr Deever - it's just GONE OFF!  You sick bunch o' chese-pervs!

Where has he gone ? Oh well just what i expected....

I have challenged you 3 times now here and each time you disappear.Enough said.


I like replying to pointless comments like Gordons who because he has an axe to grind doesnt like the fact i can draw.Gordon doesnt like my comments because they dont fit with his wet behind the ears politics.[Waaah !! Leave Obama alone !!"

Back to the art.I have 2 landscapes i am working on at present [besides other things].Both unfinished but give me a week and they will be and when they are i will post them just for you and when i do you will eat shit just like you did last time when you played your "racism"card.

I could post the unfinished  original art now so you can see a before and after but i cant scan here [i have to go to the library] but i can post photos i took of them with the Mac but if i do that you wont be able to see and appreciate the linework and detail involved.

I dont need tracing paper as i can copy straight off .As you very well know i have already posted images of 2 or 3 pieces that were copied freehand and when i posted those images i gave full credit to the original artist as you very well know and they were done as part of a learning curve.Like someone else said here they were done as a homage to the artist.

When i have done a bit more work that is up to scratch i will be creating my own website later this year dedicated to it.

BTW its only plagiarism if you dont give credit to the original artist/writer etc and since i have always given credit where its due the allegation of plagiarism is baseless.

Last of all dont Spin what i said either.I never said anything i have done was "better".

Be seeing you.

Dolcelatte cheese, sweet biscuits (Digestives at a push). Job sorted.

-Bouwel-

I like a nice bottle of port with a jumbo bag of mini cheddars. The whole lot. On my own...Buuuuuuuuurrrpp! And I like belching as well. Great sport.

Radiator's Top 5 Cheeses:
1. Gorgonzola (The creamy stuff, not the chalky stuff - also good as a very lazy pasta sauce)
2. Saint Agur (Specifically Saint Agur cheese spread - amazing on toast)
3. Stilton
4. Camembert (Very good baked to dip bread sticks in)
5. Cheddar (Because thats got to be in there, hasn't it?)

Cheese is awesome.

Extra strong cheddar, pickles, pickled onions and warm crusty bread with real butter.

Mmm.

Oh boo fucking hoo.

I like Godpleton. Here, have a big ginger beardy hug. You're welcome.

I remember seeing a great list of the best cheese once, so I thought I'd write my own. What do you all think?

I'm a big fan of: "I wouldn't give him the steam off my pish."

Has anyone else tried those little bags of cheddar you can get with Marmite already mixed in with the cheese?

Crazy.

(//http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2418/2321541109_9e928fc52e.jpg)

I like ice cream. I like it far too much.

My favourite cheese is brie. John McCain tried to make out that eating brie was a bad thing and look where that got him.

Quote from: "radiator"Has anyone else tried those little bags of cheddar you can get with Marmite already mixed in with the cheese?

Crazy.

As a long-time admirer of the cheese and marmite sandwich, I thought this idea was an abomination. However, someone bought me some and it's not bad.

However, it's all wrong for toasting ... you need the layer of cheese over the marmite or there's just no point ...

Cheers

Jim

I liked marmite mini cheddars, but they took them away. Why are people so cruel? Can't we all just get along?

 Oh, I know what I like. I like it when someone resurrects an old thread, such as the Judge Dredd Chronology one and I can have a good laugh at some former forum mentalism.

I'm thinking Marmite on toast for supper. Also, I can't believe what a mentalist Callahan is.

Roquefort's the cheese for me. Which is strange, as I normally like milder ones and have no truckle at all with your Gorgnzola or Stilton. Maybe it's the salty, sheepiness that I like.

Cheese on toast with pate underneath is nice.

Quote from: "The Cosh"Cheese on toast with pate underneath is nice.

Take a large, open-cap mushroom, fill with a good, coarse pate. top with crumbled stilton and bang under the grill until the stilton melts.

Makes a fantastic starter, btw ...

Cheers!

MARMITE!?!

Oh you fucking sick shower of tossers.
Marmite is the devils earwax, and fine ye ken it. Anyone who disagrees should be ritually strangled by orangutangs- streamed live via the internet to prove that something is being done about it.

I refuse to kiss my wife if she has been anywhere near marmite or twiglets- I tell her to fuck off, cos she stinks.

How foolish of me, how could I forget this last option

f) go completely off topic and start talking about cheese or biscuits.


So if I traced a picture of a biscuit (that somebody else had drawn but claimed it as my own), hastily photoshopped a bit of cheese on top of it and said I love this, and then somebody replied "Oi, Siku, it's supposed to be a fuckin' eagle" and then I'd  stuck enough tags on it so that whenever you googled "Cheese" it came to my thread proving my superiority (and all those theories about Obama) once and for all.  

And then you'd all have to go out and get a life and/or a girlfirend because when I compile a picture it makes me brilliant but when you do it, it's a bit sad and pathetic.

Do you know, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this internet thing.

Roquefort is the cheese for me. It really is .Apologies for the lack of originality but it is beautiful.Its the sheeps milk that does it.I like the pure whiteness mixed with the blue and it always has that water in the packet sometimes.

Emmental ,Cheddar with rind,and also garlic and herb Boursin.I like eating a whole one of those in one go.Creamy Dolcellate or Gorgonzola .The rare bit of mature cheddar has a bit of blue in it.All of those French cheeses are excellent.

Stilton is the only cheese i dont like.Horrible texture.Also Edam and Swiss Appellenizer [probably spelt wrong].

The poo poster isn't real. There, I said it.

Youre right simp- the poo-poster is surreal.
Unless it was posted by a figment of our collective imagination. (being internet forum posters, that would be- nothing, hence proving that the poo poster is not real)

Fuck- it's enough to drive any one potty-mouthed!

As amusing as these shenanigans are, I would suggest that the antagonists are setting themselves up for one almighty karmic ass-raping when P-Dog makes it big and blackballs you all from the industry.

I am particularly concerned for Mr Rennie's fate as he could very well be forced to devise scenarios, dialogue, raid instances and whatnot on Thryllseekyr's Slaine MMO for the rest of eternity.

You can do what you like and call it art and get away with it.Anything goes these days and you dont need any talent to do it either.

Odd choice of subject matter is a biscuit.

You could claim that the work was copied by hand and the original artist was credited or acknowledged and you could have produced original art as well but if i was as full of shit as you are then i would still say that you "Stole" the idea and claimed it as your own .

I dont quite get the second sentence of your post .Whatever.

Which leads straight to your final comment about the getting the hang of the internet.You certainly have got the hang of it by typing pointless petty self indulgent Shit which must be something you like unless you have strayed off topic again by mistake.

I like replying anyway.

You sound like your talents are best directed at Conceptual Art.

I searched your name [unless i mispelt it] and all i could find was a Removals company and a furniture store.

Marmite haters simply have an inferior palate.  I pity them really.
 

Marmite thinly spread on a hot toasted crumpet*  - that's a very satisfying taste explosion of a low fat snack.

I got the idea from MEN'S HEALTH Magazine so I'd best give credit where credit is due.



(*or pikelet I think some of you call them - if that's not racist).

PEANUT BUTTER IS BETTER THAN MARMITE.

You do know that Astroglide is made specifically for the job you're talking about?

Quote from: "Godpleton"PEANUT BUTTER IS BETTER THAN MARMITE.

No it isn't.
But it is very nice and it has to be crunchy, goes well with sliced banana in a sandwich!

Marmite and cheese on toast is lovely but hot English mustard and cheese on toast with a pinch of salt and pepper is better.

QuoteYou do know that Astroglide is made specifically for the job you're talking about?

Pikelets and crumpets are of the same breed, but not the same bready snack - pikelets are far thinner, sort of like a scotch pancake but crumpetier.

Pikelets warm with thickly spread butter.

Sez the guy who's specialised in this area of comedy for years. I can only assume you've never been called out on this due to your status as one of the Big Three. (That was actually four).

Trying to cut back on the posting for a few weeks, but after reading this thread I just had to say:  I love you all!

Even Godpleton, on whom my love would surely be wasted, but not to worry, I should have more ready in an hour or so.

Muffins with cheese like cheese on toast but better.Only use Butter.

Sort of indifferent to Marmite.I dont dislike it but its not something i would eat a lot of but its very very high in B vitamins and its incredibly good for you.One slice of bread and Marmite a day or even every other day is all you need.

I like Cottage cheese either natural or with Chives.

I am starting to like Godpleton.

Campari is horrible and so is Pernod.

Bovril>Marmite

On toast, you understand - not as a drink. Though I hate myself for liking it - it's such an unfashionable thing to like - much like pork scratchings.

Take pikelets (whatever they are) to Hi-Ex, I'll bring the butteries and we can have a 'cultural exchange'.

Larf,

actually, Peter's in my ignorefile so this was just an ill observed rant about some recent mental postings

a) declare that I have "no interest in it, never will and don't care about the news you've just posted"
Don't recall who this was - it might actually have been Peter as I do see his stuff occassionally when I come on the board without logging on.

b) declare in the most sarcastic way I can that the thing you like is actually rubbish.
Well lots of people do this but I think our young whippersnapper Godpleton does it most often. Done occassionally it can be funny but done constantly it does start to rile.

c) cut and paste your declaration of love for the thing into my own thread titled "Here's something I really like, I made it all by myself, I didn't just copy it honest."
This is meant to be that bloke that nicked Hipster Dad's Dredd Chronology and called it his own.  And he subsequently came back boasting about how his list was still on google and how we should all get lives for being sad.

d) declare that "Yes, that thing you like was created by somebody brilliant. I've done a few tracings and, you'll be glad to know, I'm nearly as good as them."
I don't recall exactly who did a copy of gaze into the fist of Dredd but tidied up some "dodgy lines"- and apologies to them I think they've subsequently shown themselves to be quiet adept, reasonably nice and polite and not nearly as mad as you'd first imagine

So yeah, I was just going off on one in general but using some specific examples.


Parmesan - nothing beats it.  Once ate a whole big bowl of the stuff for a bet.  But I do like my Arran Cheddars - they do a particulr good one with claret, one with chilli and, best of all, one with mustard in it.

Honestly you dont need to worry about that because its something i dont really know anything about it so i cant really comment on it and i wouldnt even know what to rant about .

All you creative types who work in the industry are all safe from my rants [apart from Hollywood].I have an interest in some of the design and art produced by various designers/companies for record sleeves etc over the years.

My company has sent out reprimands to people in Comic Sans before now. Idiots.

-Bouwel-

Comic Sans is universally hated by just about every artist, designer or any one with an eye for detail that I know.

It's awful. Wasn't this thread supposed to be about things you? I like Gill Sans, does that help?

Sleeve art and design:

I was and still am a big admirer of Peter Savilles [Grafittica Industria IIRC] art and design for Factory records.

I also like Vaughan Olivier [23 envelope] who did all the sleeve art for 4AD records.The music and the art was a perfect match.I was fortunate to chat to him about it once at an exhibition of the aforementioned artwork.

Not to sound snippy, but could someone kindly outline the reasons behind comic sans hatred? I am by no means an apologist, but I'm wondering if there are any technical details I should be aware of.

Quote from: "Godpleton"Not to sound snippy, but could someone kindly outline the reasons behind comic sans hatred? I am by no means an apologist, but I'm wondering if there are any technical details I should be aware of.

Solely from a reader's perspective, it's a real bastard on the eyes if you have to read sheets of the stuff.

It's a free font with Windows, Company Directors tend to use it when they are sending out a 'jolly' internal letter, Wanna be Word based graphic designer we know best receptionists tend to use it on newsletters, it's terrible, it's overused, it's used often in the wrong context, technically it's a pigs ear of a font design - it kerns wrong, the ascenders and descenders are awkward...

need I go on?

I'll just add also that, like Arial, it was designed as a screen font and was never originally intended for print in the first place.

Comic sans looks like a schoolteacher wrote something in marker pen for a classfull of under 12s which is what it is aimed at.

Microsoft rubbish but fine in its place.

Its still not as horrible as Brushscript.That has to be the worst ever.

I like reading books. At the moment I am reading 'The Crow Road' by Iain Banks for the first time. I've read a load of his normal fiction and all of his sci-fi and I've got to say I've yet to find one I didn't like.

QuoteI've got to say I've yet to find one I didn't like.

Have you read Canal Dreams?  Or Song of Stone?  Ugh, I say, ugh.  And I love the guy's stuff.

However, I loved his most recent one, Matter, although I appear to be alone in that.

Those are probably the only two of his I haven't read yet (tell a lie, I haven't read 'Dead Air' either) but I'll maybe get them out from the library. I thought 'Matter' was good but not my favorite M.Banks novel by a measure, there were a few times where I found myself wishing he'd concentrated less on Ferbin's storyline, seemed like a bit of an 'Inversions' retread, but it'll benefit from another read in a year or so I reckon. Still a belter though.

Quoteas much use as Anne Franks' drum-kit"

I was at the Anne Frank house in November and round the corner - round the fuckin' corner, not 1 minute's walk away - there's a shop that sells nothing but drum-kits. Oh how I laughed.
I haven't bothered my hole to read the rest of this thread. Is it any good?

There's some good stuff about Marmite but apart from that, no.

Oh I don't know. There's a nice bit about tattoos.

Quote from: "Kerrin"I like reading books. At the moment I am reading 'The Crow Road' by Iain Banks for the first time. I've read a load of his normal fiction and all of his sci-fi and I've got to say I've yet to find one I didn't like.

I've found reading Banks' non-SF work (I seem unable to get into his SF stuff) to be very subject to the law of diminishing returns - the same motifs and devices crop up again and again, and you end up starting one of his novels waiting to spot the trope du jour for this particular book.

Dead Air, however, didn't recycle any of the previous themes but somehow failed to excite or engage on any human level.

Cheers!

Jim

I find Banks books, with or without the M much of a muchness. He's always eminently readable, but I can rarely remember what he was on about. Crow Road I always remember for the Embarrassment of Ritchies, which made me laugh. The Bridge is interesting for displaying his inability to effectively string out a metaphor. Not like Cormac McCarthy.

Quote from: "Kerrin"I like reading books. At the moment I am reading 'The Crow Road' by Iain Banks for the first time.

It was the day my Grandmother exploded is how that one starts eh? I always quite liked that. Last one of his I read was The Business and I thought it was awful.

I've rediscovered reading as my journey to work now takes over an hour so I get peace from the kids. Its great!

I'm currently reading "Bedroom Secrets of the Masterchefs" at the mo and its a pretty fucked up tale.

QuoteI was at the Anne Frank house in November and round the corner...

Despite going to Amsterdam fairly often I am yet to turn up when the house is open. I think it's a conspiracy.

Oh, and it gives me an excuse to share...

I'm advised that the standard Dutch response to German tourists looking for Anne Frank's house is "you found it then, you can find it now!"

She is well known for not answering the door and pretending not to be in.
She should have done some creative work or written a book or something/anything rather than the diary which isnt very interesting.

Working in education I can tell you that these days 'Comic Sans' is recommended as a font to use in classroom handouts because it's supposed to be easier for divs to read. But no learners unless they have special permission are allowed to hand in work they themselves have written in Comic Sans. I for one would never teach with it. The education experts also recommend using Ariel or some other sans-serif font for classroom materials, which I use occasionally. Personally, I prefer to make handouts in Times New Roman or, if I'm feeling really saucy, Book Antiqua. I always find out first if my students can read serif fonts before I go printing out everything in Ariel just to be on the safe side.

Going back to Comic Sans, I was quite startled at receiving an application form for a Civil Service post printed in Comic Sans to comply with its equal ops/accessibility policy. My own view is, coming from a government agency it didn't look very professional, and the tick boxes on the electronic copy were non-functioning as they always are. It seems no-one in 'human resources' (personnel) knows the difference between a field and a character when both look like boxes.

QuoteHowever, I loved his most recent one, Matter, although I appear to be alone in that.

Nope, there's two of us. Thought it was excellent.

Unbelievable .

Jesus.

Fucking.

Christ.

It's a fucking abomination. That lousy capped uppercase 'I' alone is enough to make me start throwing things. Add into that the aforementioned incompetent kerning and the fact that it is unique among fonts in having no "natural" point size, looking bloody awful at both body text sizes and headline sizes alike.

It's pretty much an insult to anyone who ever went to the trouble of properly designing a font.

I like potato printing and making things out of Lego.

Sadly, as a 32 year old man I don't really have an excuse to do either of these things any more. Maybe I should father a kid.

You never need an excuse to play with Lego.

If pushed just pause, look thoughtful and say you're making a trebuchet or similar.

-Bouwel-

Now you mention the Legos...

I sent away for the 12 mini Lego kits from the Daily Mirror in October with the intention of giving them to my great-niece for Christmas.

Got bored and drunk one night and ended up making all of them. Had to buy her something else.

I like rummaging through boxes of rubbish and tat at bootfairs to look for goodies or looking in skips.

I like digging in Victorian landfill sites/rubbish tips for glass and pottery receptacles.

Since writing off Campari the other day, I've acquired a bit of a taste for it, if mixed with tequila and dry+sweet vermouth a 'Rosita'). But it's so bitter you can't taste the subtle flavours in anything else - like the sour notes of lime in a Havana Bandana, for instance - for a while afterwards.
