Been meaning to post this thought for a while, that Moorcock thread has re-energised me, so here we go...

Recent plans have necessitated the buying of new jumpers, so I was in Sainsbury's the other day, and I started thinking, 'What I really need is a lumberjack shirt.'

Which got me remeniscing about how they were really big for about a year or two in the late 80's- early 90's in the post-Goth pre-Greebo/Grunge days...

Which got me thinking about Tank Girl, then I realised...

Back in the day, so it is said, 2th was pretty anti-establishment, legend has it the creation of the Galaxy's Greatest, was fueled with a punkish energy, spitting in the face of the comics 'scene' of the time...

Fast forwward a bit and the sense of anarchy seemed to fade a little...

While Deadline was putting out stuff like Tank Girl, Milk and Cheese and Bugs & Drugs on a regular basis, things chez Tharg seemed a bit 'same old same old'...

So yeah, did 2000ad become the 'establishment'?
If so, when?
...And is it still?


Time for a heated debate...

I too thought Sancho Panzer had potential..

And the curiously un-reprinted state of Return to Armageddon makes me think that might belong here 'n'all.

Maybe we're just tasting the wrong women.

Although I don't actually like Strawberries.

...And of course, Trouty will never see the Molinator again, 'cause 'er Underground don't like him hanging with his old mates now, not even for a pint if there's a match on, He's got to Grow up, hes got responsibilities now, 'Mother warned me there'sd be days like this...'

Nag, nag, nag...

She'll come out, he'll get lucky  and a few weeks later (What's the mole gestation period?) there'll be ASBO molies all over.

Knocking over Gnomes, Lurking under bushes shit-faced on White Lightening Gathering Ominously on the Garden Path...

But still, if she sniffs a highly trained buff man-mole, there'll be no stopping her...

'and hope he wins'

The flaw in an otherwise peerless plan.

Unless you train him up first...

And make sure your mole is the same sex as the invader, otherwise the problem will multiply...

Apparently, you're not s'posed to use those plug things outdoors.

My mate's Dad's got one and he freaked when I took it out the back at his last  Barbeque...

The world still hasn't ended though, can't see what all the fuss was about myself...

Unless its a fuck off big mole, it prob'ly won't damage your house.

have you thought of getting a Cat (or some kind of Terrier/Chihuaua genetic hybrid), may not be the most 'Humane' way to deal with the problem, but it's good and eco friendly, I'm sure...

Crap!  ten past, it'll be repeated though right...

I too have seen Razor since my last post, t'was good...

(It had Michelle Forbes in a uniform which is always worth the price of admission...)

And yeah, the CGI in the Adama/Centurion mid air punch up is certainly on the dodgy side...

....still laughing at the idea of Sci-fi being an inclusive and tolerant genre...

:)

personally, I think the shaky-cam on the dogfights serves a dual perpous of distracting from any dodgy CGI.

I also think that Muffit and his creators are the ones who will burn in hell, worst Doggy sidekick since Scrappy Doo.

My least favourite bit about Razor was the way the TV guide made it sound like a feature lenght ep. cobbled together from the end of the last season, so I didn't bother watching it...

It better be fucking repeated...

Silent B indeed, you're pissed already intcha?

I think the point of the story being set in C19th was the fact that the first one was set then...

It'd be a bit wierd if htey moved the whole  thing along 100 years without aging the central characters...

As for the rest, didn't really see it so I don't really know...

Harry hill was good as always though, and I quite enjoyed re-watching the Terminal...

Did anyone actually see that Billie thing that was the Sequel to Ruby in the Smoke?

I was trying to watch it while simoultaneously cooking a Dutch pancake in 'tother room.

Then my mate pete and his girlfriend showed up, so I have no idea what was happening.

Cool steam powered machine gun at the end though...
