I find it quite amusing that while most of the stories in this are being criticised for their open-endedness, Art's is criticised for being a coherent stand-alone tale. ;) I disagree with the view that it hasn't got the ideas to sustain a series, even if the main idea was ripped off Burroughs... :p

I enjoyed the Special, beyond a general feeling that this is the sort of thing that Tharg should be doing, and I'd be interested to see several of the strips developed into proper series, especially Al's, Art's and Jaspre's.

"some prime gossip about this in popbitch.."

ooh yeah... unfortunately it's entirely unrepeatable here due to its potentially libellous nature. But I bet it's true ;)

Heh, I was just thinking while battling my way round Camden the other day that if you had a stall there you'd clean up :)

Have you looked into doing Open University type stuff? If you're not looking to move, something like that might suit you quite well, some kind of part-time course you can get the work done in the evening. Which might take a bit of time away from the kids, but surely they're old enough to cope with that by now?

My personal experience of mature students is middle-aged blokes with beards... I thought them so lame at the time. How fate comes back to kick you on the arse.

"Will the one on sunday have twenty minutes excised from it like the one they showed this evening?"

It looks to be the same length (judging by the Radio Times), so I guess not. What you gain by a later transmission time you lose by being on a more mainstream channel, I guess. All the same, it was an entertaining bit of telly, despite dialogue slightly too reminiscent of old skool Roman Epics.

It's repeated Sunday on BBC1.

They liked a shag and a fight, those Romans, eh?

tsk! pederastic fool.

If you end up with a date the week after Christmas, there's a chance I might make it to this. Bostin! etc

hah! you shameless whore! ;)

I went to the pub. Some kids in costume tried it on, but they got chucked out sharpish. Things like that make being old fun ;)

"Some people call their kids Frank!"
(Frank Zappa, on being asked if it were not a little cruel to give his children such names as Dweezil and Moon Unit)

It's like reality - only better!

It's funny because it's true...

Well done, chaps and chappette, once more we've proved that Londoners are just a bit better than normal folk!

Drawn to your specifications.

How dare you, sir?

It's North-West Indian, thank you very much.
And I was perfectly pure until I was subjected to your sordid scripts.

If you were paying attention, my child-bothering chum, you'd realise that Oddboy's getting there about 6, and I'm getting there about 7.

I presume Dudley's actually coming, seeing as how it's all been re-arranged to suit his filthy un-Londonish activities?

Be there 7 or thereabouts, I should think.

maybe we could make a boat out of beer mats and fag packets?
