Thought that was going to be a link to my blog there!

'Paisley caves' - I wonder if they were named before or after the shit was discovered?

How dare you! That's a carefully crafted arboretum!

A small piece entitled 'Dredd Vs the urban sprawl'. The small white boxes are windows - that's detail that money can't buy!

Here's the wee guy in action - it's only 30 seconds and I promise not to post any more.


Unless there is demand!

£300. Wife got me him for my birthday when the hint for a PS3 was clearly misunderstood.

He's an Abyssinian which the breeder says is a small to medium cat when fully grown. I've always had moggies in the past and wouldn't knock them but this guy just exudes class and confidence. He's also really smart working out the box, scratching post and pecking order in no time flat.

After the recent 'all the cats are dying' thread how about one for the next generation?

May I present my new best friend Seti, named for both the Pharoah to celebrate his heritage of being revered by the Egyptians and of course for starring in The Cat From outer Space.

He has papers as long as your arm and is as mad as a brush. He also knocked my Megazine off one staple today so I'm not sure we're keeping him. Oh go on then I'd miss the nuzzles.

A coven of alleged witches were burned in Paisley and buried at a busy junction. Kinda spooky sitting on top of them when waiting to do a right turn to get to the dump.

Pailsey has of course come a long way from this which happened awaaay back in 1986.

I don't know, Anne Rice had the same reservations about him being cast as Lestat but recanted once she saw the film. That said the mother of all elevator shoes and voice enhancers would be needed.

I can see potential benefits in drinking, gambling, chasing women, fabricating letters and possibly even drugs but I've never understood why people smoke. It stinks, it's expensive and it kills you where is the joy?

I'm not on the moral high ground here I'd really like to know.

- Anti smoker although I have puffed through a birthday cigar but never inhaled.

Where do I send the cheque?

Actually I didn't mind it much and don't want to get involved in another witch hunt in case Dave Stone comes on and say his pecker dropped off during the writing or something.

It was a brave attempt to do something more cerebral, a bit of a locked door mystery with an emphasis on dectection and character rather than the classic Dredd approach of kick in the door and a kick in the nuts.

Brave as it was, it was dull and waffley and I had to force myself to plough through each week's text heavy episode. Once I lost the thread of it I couldn't face rereading the old stuff and once you get to that stage you have to wonder 'why bother?'.

Although I liked John Cooper's art in the old Eagle and others I'm surprised he avoided the 'too cartoony' brickbats that Nick Dyer is getting pummled with. The art is  OK but uneven in places and you never forget that it's a comic strip.

As I said brave effort but for me it has to be added to the hefty pile of non-Dredd Dreddworld failures.

Treasure doesn't mind him much.

Snoozing = losing!

Just read the Dredd - on the bog if you must know - and it was OK. A bit like the Jim Grubb 'Fungus' but after all these years these will always be some element of familiarity. Like last nights Simpsons - Lisa becomes a ballerina just like Bart did. Doh!

Letters page a doozy with a toilet reference, familiar faces and no end of surprises. OK they do end ,that was hyperbole. Or maybe bullshit.
