"how much of this shit did we commission"

Is that where the term "sh*t-Faced" comes from?

"And Varks! Don't forget the Varks!"

"And Starborn Things!"


Bet you'd all forgotten about Gribligs. They could overpower the Aliens with their multitudes and by pushing heavy furniture onto them.

Maybe she's afraid you're starting to display a more "feminine" side ;)

It was a prototype Boing (TM) test that went disasterously wrong.

[We could always asume that this is a previous wall that was destroyed in some hitherto unmentioned disaster and was not rebuilt until Cal's reign...Or we could all be fantastically picky and analytical instead of just enjoying the story. ;)]

I've just posted on the "Ennis Slagging" thread about this so I'll just cut and paste it here okay...

Hey, I've just thought. What if the walls, like the city-blocks are named after 20th century media (non)personalities. It may actually take it's name from enterprising builder & serial killing lunatic Fred West. This would explain how the "West" wall might not actually be in the West.

He, he! Gotcha Paul!

Maybe the people who assume that other people are taking it too seriously don't realise that the people who appear to be taking it too seriously are in fact not taking it as seriously as the people who accuse them of taking it too seriously are making out, causing the people who accuse them of taking it too seriously to fall into the trap of taking the whole issue too seriously themselves.

Or am I reading too much into it again?

I just like playing Devil's advocate ;)

I always assumed that the dome was more of an energy barrier than an actual physical bubble because of the story where Whitey used a device to hi-jack weather control and escape from Devil's Island using snow, which of course would have only settled on the bubble and not the streets.

I also seem to remember a reference to rain being used to systematically "wash" the streets. Now as weather control had been mentioned long before the Cursed Earth saga, as early as Prog 08 I believe, and there is also air traffic such as strat-bats to take into account, I would think it had to be something that would allow specified objects to pass through.

Her name is Vienna Dredd, and the point I was making was that we had to wait over twenty years to clarify exactly how Rico managed to have a daughter of around eight when he was on Titan serving twenty years.

We could always assume that the dome was erected (ooh er) to protect the Mega city from the "Death Belt" of flying rubble, garbage and gliding rats that was used in the Cursed Earth story "The Devil's Lapdogs". The Death Belt can be seen quite clearly in the sky above Mega City 1 as the Land Raider sets out on it's mission, but as it seems to have shifted now it's likely that the bubble/energy shield was deemed unnecessary and removed.

So you don't hold with my prototype Boing (TM) disaster theory?

Ah, but he might actually have extended it with the bodies of ten thousand people.

"There was no previous reference to Cal simply building a massive 'extension' to the wall."

I don't remember a previous reference to Rico having a lover who visited him while on Titan or the Chief Judge being possessed by a monkey, does that mean I should dismiss the possibility of an existing wall or extension?
