You should be swotting young fella m'lad. Leave the procrastinating on a Friday afternoon to those being paid for it!

Ah well, must be true.

What makes a rat's cock particularly worse than that of any other animal?

Nothing. Tharg is a swine. I deserve these prizes more than anyone else.


Then again, I don't enter the competitions.

"Drink Switch" was popular for a couple of lads holidays. Rules as per Switch, except you have a drink for every card you draw from the deck.

Often play "the name game", which I'm sure has many titles.

The idea is to come up with the name of a famous person (real or fictional) whose first name starts with the first letter of the previous person's last name. That sounds more complicated than it is as a normal round goes:

"Arthur Fowler"
"Frank Bruno"
"Britney Spears"
"Sean Connery"

etc

Play moves clockwise around the table. However, use of a name with the same initials reverses the order.

Repeating a name, taking more than an acceptable time to come up with one, not realising play has been reveresed and speaking out of turn or not knowing it's your turn all lead to a finger penalty. Mentioning a name no one else has heard of also incurs a penalty.

To make it harder, you can stick with names from certain categories (comics, films, whatever)

The programme was Bod, wasn't it?

Or was there something in my mashed banana and jam sarnies that made me see giant frogs drinking milkshakes? Was my mum slipping me mind-altering substances when I skipped home from school for lunch? (Come to think of it, if I was being given acid or somesuch that might explain Chorlton and the Wheelies).

Strawberry milkshake for 'Max.

Pipe and slippers for anyone who gets the reference!

Adam vs Y The Last Man

Gabriel vs Carver Hale

What about mobile phones, too? You don't see them!

Why doesn't the net feature in Dredd's world? Surely the cits would still have access to PCs? Is it too subversive? Too censored? Or do you think they've realised that there's more to life than the net?

And, in a similar vein, what happened to Barney?

But her mouth's too big.

Yes! Hinkleton on Death - could be just what the character needs. Just think of the shots of his hand bursting through someone's chest.

Hmm. I am moving house in September and there is a door from the hall into the garage. Mrs X says I can have a pool table OR a pinball machine...

...on topic, my favourite product is my subscription t-shirt with Kev Walker's collection of drinking characters on the back and an understated logo on the front.

I have never read any fiction deived from a TV/ comic source (well, except for Target Dr Who books when in primary school). Are they any good? Any recommendations?
