Title: No news is no news...
Post by: Leigh S on 18 January, 2004, 10:19:33 PM
Howsabout some new news on the front page?  Theres been nothing for over a month now.  I understand that the site is rejigging, so that might be one reason for waiting, but with "Droid Life" taking up the "Coming soon" slot, I'm missing my Watchery glimpses into the future....

Isn't your 'retro news' enough to keep you going Watch?

I suppose now Mark's gone there's no one to do dish out the web news.

I'd have thought that the coming soon slot will still be used, it often just used to be the competition section.

Has Chapman left us? Where's he gone? When?
Who's taken over?

Chapman hasn't so much left us as been taken from us. Not two months ago Tharg entered the Nerve Centre to find that Mark13 had been removed from the confines of his work-pen. The adjacent droids had been rendered unconcious by means of a poisened thorn and study of the surrounding environs marks were discovered that indicated that a man with a wooden leg and a pygmy were involved, if not responsible completley.

As to why Mark13 was taken, and where we may never know. Tharg claims he knows the truth but isn't telling. Perhaps even The Mighty One has been stumped by this one.

Heh - yes indeed, the Watchers ability to scan the past for snippets is a welcome diversion from the murkiness that his visions of the future are currently suffering :)

Was Ian Kennedy really lined up to do the VCs for Starlord for example?  I'd pay good money to see that!

'where's the Scooby Gang when you need them?'

Up-side down in a Ladies loo.

Or so I've heard...

Mark was getting fed up with the journey every day from London to Oxford. He's going to try his luck as a writer.So if any one out there knows of any projects out there that need a good writer then let him know! And if you see him at a con then buy him a beer ;-)

Obviously Rebellion should have moved to Cambridge when they bought 2000ad, much better than the 'Other Place'.
Much easier to travel from London to Cambridge as well.

But if you were in London, you wouldn't have to travel anywhere, would you?

(anywhere's better than Cambridge, thinking it's so great with its river Cam. Why do you think Oliver Cromwell nicked all your gold?)

Heh.
