For 'Moam' read 'Moab'. Don't get heavy on me man...

I got sent  the complete Halo Jones as a letter prize - thanks Meg Tharg - and recently reread it in a oner.

There are so many great things in it although it's at it's best on Moam - the three episode trip to the shops didn't do it for me!

The characters that are mentioned at first and later seen such as Lux Roth Chop and Ruiz Cannibal are cracking and supporting characters like Toby and Glyph are more memorable than many who have had their own headlining run.

In many ways it was just starting - what had been chronicaled thus far would hardly merit futuristic examining 1000 years down the line, but in many ways the three acts sit well as a complete work.

She's out there doing her thing, we just aren't privvy to the details.

Do a George Costanza and show up like nothing happened. If that fails slip him a mickey.

Target rich enviroment there Umpty!

Alas I no longer have a works party, or even a work. No more will I be spunking £60 for the Hilton plus £3.50 a pint and an hour wait for a taxi.

Instead it's a bag of Revels and Larry Sanders - hurrah!

Here is a snap from last year's event - look at all those wild and crazy guys having a mad old time!

Hey, that black heart is due to a Black-Jack addiction in my youth!

Halloween 3 was pretty good in places with that great catchy jingle and the sinister android henchmen.

I remember they planned to reboot the series with a film based around halloween each year. After the failure of Season of the Witch they obviously though 'Fuck that get Myers back'. The law of diminishing returns has held sway ever since.

Price is at his campest in Last man On Earth, with his Ooohhs later captured on the Superbowl Simpsons episode.

I liked the ongoing battles with his now zombie neighbour but the stuff with the garlic and mirrors was correctly disposed of in The Omega Man.

Soylent Green was great too - the euthenasia scene is a cracker with it ironically Edward G. Robinson's last.

Although a ring wing nut Charleton Heston is a screen legend and I can recommend his autobiography 'In the Arena, although it brushes over his sci-fi stuff in favour of Ben-Hur, El Cid and the classic, er, Skyjacked.

The Price version was horrible, although it did keep to the book ending which was nice. Price had the dead wife thing going on, whereas Chuck Heston drove a jeep around shooting the mothers. Best part of the Omega Man was Anthony Zebre as Mathias, really evil and mental with a good turn of phrase "Take him to the little room!"

What you need is the good old 'Omega Man' before the Will smith remake taints the property.

Tune into ITV4, 'Where Eagles Dare' is on an almost constant loop.

True, but by that rationale a comic is a comic etc.

Compare my current fav. Argos to this beauty.

There are over a hundred of these, mostly audio only, and they always crack me up.

Bit of after posting here as I'm still slogging my way through the 100 odd issues. It's OK but that's not the Tony Stark I remember. A lot of the scenes are repeated in several different books meaning it's a bit dull and fleshed out in places.

At least the Punisher has some original ideas...!

Yes! I got Walking Dead 5 The Best Defense from Amazon today and read it in a single sitting. Still top stuff.

This may have been posted before, but I've been away.

I don't know if it's shown outwith Cal-Hab but it's an instant classic, and deserves a wide audience.

All the locations are in Scotland with the funky machine near the start the Falkirk wheel that moves canal barges.
