I'm feeling a bit sorry for this thread, so I'll give it a bit of a bump.

I'm going soft, that's my problem.

Depends who's writing it.  Did anyone want a twenty-six parter written by Mark Millar revisiting the Apocalypse War, but with Millar's 'hilarious' views of ethnic groups at the fore, because it was set to star the Sino-cit lads?  I don't think so.
Mind you, now that Millar's long gone, I wouldn't actually mind seeing that whole Sino-cit scenario tied up by Wagner or Rennie.  At the least, it could be one of those WEHT stories ("whatever happened to the Sino-cit menace that Dredd was going to stop with one punch").  IIRC, Dredd did say at the end of the Apocalypse War "Next time, we get in our retaliation in first", and it was established that the Justice dept was aware of the threat beforehand, so why not tell the story of how all those loose storylines from the Morrison/Millar period got tied up by Dredd's sneaky underhand 'retaliation'?
There was another loose storyline left dangling about Psi Judges being infected with a psychic virus that was printed in the '93 winter special, does anyone know if that was ever tied up?

Don't know why.  A strap-on does the same job.
















Apparantly.

Actually, PVS, they can give lasses these tablets which cause swelling/growth in the... er.. y'know?  It sticks out, and it'll do the job, too, apparantly.

HE's Simon Davis.


Ignore her. She's Simone Davis.

FIRST!

'In the Dredd files, Bish gave all of the episodes low marks.'

Well, he's just giving his opinion - I'm no fan of the Dredd files, but that's what he's being paid to do, so he's right to call it as he sees it.
I'm reminded of that bit in Galaxy Quest, though, where Tim Allen says "It doesn't take a good actor to tell a bad one."

'I've had some of the DC Dredd's on the adverts on this site for over a year?apparently, no-one will touch them.'

And I know why.

Hey, cheers for the heads up, Drib.  They also have all the DC Dredds, which I was curious about.  After now having read the first five, I can now safely liken my curiosity to my initial curiousity about a certain intimate act performed upon lady bears after much preening of the fur around their ears and playful knocking about in the woods, because I didn't enjoy THAT as much as I thought I might, either.
I can see why Dredd didn't take off yankside now, although I have an old American issue of Legends of the Law written by Wagner and Grant that suggests there might have been some quality tales written for the US market at some point.

(although it DID have 'musical numbers' in it)

Sarcasm, eh?

Just say no.

Nadine Coyle - Geri Halliwell.  Discuss.

True, Byron, the charts are pretty dire, but this is only to be expected when musical trends/styles from one year to the next are dictated by the twin influences of market forces and a producer's musical background.  By borrowing heavily from one musical trend, that trend is forced into the mainstream and becomes the focus of the next wave of chart-oriented pap.  Two years ago, it was rock, now it's the palatable racism of 'urban' music that clogs the charts like a disease.
On the other hand, given the control over what appears in the charts by a select few companies and radio channels, it isn't beyond reason to assume that the musical trends we're seeing now have been planned for in advance by these same interests.

Cheryl Tweedy IS rough, it's true, but I always base my notions of how fanciable a woman is by one smple yardstick - who she's going/gone out with.  If it's a professional footballer, forget it.

Bollocks.
Forgot to say:
because I worked with a guy who everyone called Dolly, and to this day, I remain in the dark what his real name was.  He didn't seem particularly offended by it, I must say.

Was it Dolly?  Seems a bit obvious for a nickname.  Are you sure that's the REAL reason he left?

And the ginger one looked less scary when she wasn't dying her hair.  I really liked that song of theirs 'Good Advice', too.  I thought it was their best tune so far.


Also, dragging this back to Pat's opinions by way of gayness, does anyone else notice how men seem more willing to admit to knowing lesbians, but not gay men?  I used to go to college with an openly gay guy who was like a really REALLY camp version of Jean-Paul Gaultier, and the men in the class never stopped slagging him off from day one - despite him being a rather pleasant chap.  Most of it was pathetically vicious stuff, too - the kind of catty, camp bitchiness you'd only see in American tv sitcoms featuring gay men, which I thought was quite ironic in a way.
