Internet sources aren't as reliable as human/print ones.  I take anything on the web that hasn't come from the keyboard of someone I know with a small rock of salt.

Anybody know the area well?

Sorry I didn't make it.  Family life is hectic at the moment for one reason or another and that interfered with my ability to show my face.  Apologies, rest assured, my absence was in a good cause.

All i would say to that, styrofoam kid (great name by the way) is that the story "Return of  The High King" while originally published before "The Queen of Witches" is set AFTER it.

That lineup would also break  up the Robin Hood storyline across two books? Unless i'm wrong, obviously.

"Secret Commonwealth" and "Beyond" were the beginning of the return to greatness for me.  I loved the Lost Years stuff too.  Everything since then has been even better.  Only the Grail War sruff for me was more poo than woo.  And even that had it's moments.  

After "The King" and "The Horned God" it's not too surprising that some of the later stuff suffered from comparison.  

Slaine remains one of the richest, most vividly realised and entertaining strips in Twoth ever.  So that's TS, Steev and I all pretty much sold.  Nice work, Thargikins.  Love you.

It'll be good to see you there, Ken.  Welcome aboard by the way, my tardiness lately to welcoming newcomers is dreadful.  Nice to meet you.

I just have one question: Are any of you going to HellTrek?

I thought that was Hotel California?

Cheers

I thought that was Marsha's house in "Spaced"

Welcome back, brother Squaxx.

Oh, I put "Catholic Atheist" on my census form.  Because I was raised a Catholic and it's warped my perception permenently, both good and bad.  That I'm actually an Atheist and don't believe ANY of it is beside the point.  I reserve the right to be grumpy and mysterious and fantasise about latex nuns while shaking my head as I pass church on a Sunday.

Quote from: Bouwel on 19 September, 2009, 04:29:11 PMHad a couple of people demand that I conduct the interview in Welsh and got very annoyed when I said that we wouldn't.

The local council also demanded that we change the wording of our store title into Welsh. This is the only place in the whole UK where we've had this request.
Move with the times, folks.  I'm all for keeping your culture alive and, unlike the Irish and Scots, the Welsh managed to hang onto their language.  But look at the CORNISH NATIONALISTS.  See how pathetic they are?  Well, that sort of militant Welshness just demeans the nation. 

Grow a pair and step, if you will, into the 20th Century.  You'll find it roomy as the rest of us have left.  It is our gift to you.  Now stop being such a chronic bunch of whingers.
