Bah no prog or Meg today although I did get a Meg letter prize (hurrah - complete Halo Jones). That postman's Christmas box is hanging by a thread!

I bought an ex-rental VHS copy and then the DVD once it was about a fiver. There is a lot to like once you see past Sly and Fergie and I'd certainly buy a special edition DVD. I'd even pay full price!

I always thought that when she wasn't being all shouty and pouty that she'd never be off her games console.

Excellent film. The 'no kids' warning is justified...spoilers...


The scene where he bludgeons the bloke with a bottle was horrible as were the torture bits both shown and implied. The pale man sequence was disturbing, and really scary when he woke up.

Overall one of the year's be - don't be put off by the subtitles or fantasy genre, the latter which I usually avoid.

I grew up in the village of Stepps which was later imortalised, with slight alteration, by the great band whose hits include 'Tragedy' and 'A deeper shade of blue'.

Question 1 : Once in a while I can't control the urge to strike another person.

Sounds like a Justice Department self incrimination test!

I'll have a go later if I can fit it into my busy schedule. Well Season 5 of Family Guy.

I've got to go with Bolland's Origins for what it promised and later delivered. The first time I saw it promo-ing the issue in the Megazine I knew again why I stay with the house of Tharg, through thick and slightly less thick.

"English (British?)"

Definitely English. Scotland hold their own in the non-test fraternity, except when they drop it.

I'm sure Welsh and Irish boarders will also disavow themselves in due course.

Tully casually cast the droid's pen aside and produced his own with a flourish - it was a Penmatic 5000.

He read over the brief which had come direct from Tharg's gloved hand, it read :

'6 page Dredd filler'

With a flash of his gnarled wrist he scored through the outline and inserted his own :

'26 part epic - The Mega-City Hellcats fight for the World Slab soccer cup, whilst a shadowy conspiritor plots their downfall'

He felxed his knuckles and leaded forward to write, but was felled by a well aimed aeroball. His limp body was unsympathetically dragged away as the Morrison droid assumed centre stage...

Here he is looking jolly. If anyone wants the original pages drop me a message.

The article was pretty good although it says he wrote Young Middenface for 2000ad. How that clanger got by the proof readers I'll never know!http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c118/button71/alang2.jpg">

General / Alan Grant in The Sunday Times

Cracking big two page colour feature about Alan Grant's pile in Dumfriesshire, in the Home section of the Scottish Sunday Times today. A craggy well worn ruin, but enough about Alan's face what a nice house!

The link below has the text but no pics
