      you dont have to give a toss about it. i hardly do either now as i have been here for so long.

                         Thanks for being direct like you have been.

           I dont do any of that stuff  ! i never have.
           
          I have never conducted a ritual ever.
          I dont even do tarot.
          I have never cast a spell.

          Even though i do know about it ,i never feel the need to do anything like that.   I would rather just stay away from it simply because it is very real and dangerous.     There is a coven who a friend knows who run a shop and i was invited there but i didnt want to go near it.  

       It does help sometimes . Other times it doesnt.         As long as they keep it the same as it is now then we all live happily together.It is a beautiful building but the people who look after it are doing their best to sabotage it  !   The tower has a very slight lean on it.    Once i watched it get struck by lightning which was good.

It rings and counts each hour like big ben which is alright so you always know what the time is here only it breaks down a lot.      Once it got stuck..................

           The noise  that you couldnt hear.  I just thought i would say what it was like living here as it is a bone of contention for everyone here. It was just a slice of life that was totally irrelevent .   I just did that post for no reason without thinking.

   I live opposite a church.      Every sunday morning without   they ring it for twenty minutes at a time. Always at the same time.      It sounds like a funeral.     Theres nothing i can do about it. You sort of get used to it as it happens during the week as well.  This is the minimum they are allowed to get away without causing a nuisance.   A couple of years ago at easter it was being rung at 45 minutes at a time.   On the third time that day i just lost it with them and just told them to shut it up or else as i had a headache by then. They never tried that one again. I probably did all the other residents a favour that day.   If they were proper church bells i wouldnt mind ,but we just get a monotone ring.            It has stopped now.

   it is highly stylized and you can almost feel the wind blowing through it.

I dont know as i have never seen it before but i liked it straight away.     Its ok to like whatever you like.

 that is very good .   It somehow looks like lithographic print.    No tones of colour,just black and white.

 

     Hi i need to refresh my memory a bit as i am out of touch as i stopped reading so long ago.    I have got stacks of 2000 ad best of but very little more recent.
       
             I did think some of the new art in 2000ad now is very good especially Judge dredd but i just cant help liking black and white old school art the most but you have to move with the times i while staying in the past a bit as well in my case.        I just didnt understand Bob Byrnes wierd tales at all and hated the art.Maybe its some sort of in joke that i dont get.            I have a 2000ad special with ABC Warriors in it with art by Simon Bisley that i thought was very good. There is just something a bit goth about that art in general.

  Also i have a graphic novel that came into my possesion but i didnt buy it.  I think its called Judgement in Gotham i think.   It has Judge Dredd and Batman fighting judge Death etc in a pleasuredome and it featured the Joker as well.   It is in colour and i cant name the artist but i like it and the art is very distinctive and slightly unnatural looking.     Also a graphic novel on the childhood of Judge Death that came with the above mentioned novel.   Thats all i have.

                  I have overheard criticisms of Slaine when he was drawn by Bellardinelli.   Not necessarily here i dont think but needless to say i just dont have the slightest clue what their problem is with it as the story and art complimented each other perfectly.

       Its the same with films as well as comics when some people just criticize and anylize things too much sometimes for their own good as they never seem to be satisfied.

     I always think and sometimes say that maybe they should start producing their own films and comics and see if they can do better.
   Thats not to say there isnt a lot of rubbish around but they never enjoy a film even if it is good.      
this isnt pointed at anyone here by the way.[disclaimer]

            Mine died recently.  [belardinelli].
         
           Also Ron Smith who drew a lot of judge dredd  is a very close second.

        I like their art because it is just full of detail and is very accurate and true to life but at the same time they both have their own style.  Now thats what i call genius.               A Belardinelli Judge Dredd would have been very good.    A Ron Smith Meltdown Man would have been good too.

     I must admit that i know virtually nothing about Ron Smith.

    I do also like Brian Bolland but somehow within each scene there is never as much detail in his work in comparison so i would say Brian would be my third choice.

      That is a good idea.    I always snipe at the last minute and enter a much higher maximum bid that the others havent so they have no chance of catching up as there is no time left to do so .    This is incredibly annoying for others and not really in the spirit of things.These days i give them about 5 to 10 minutes to act as that is plenty of time to catch up.  This is when there are a few bidders.If there is only one or two and it is still cheap then i dont worry at all about sniping.  Its only when the item is being bidded on by lots of others that i try to be fair and not snipe. It depends how badly you want it

     

     I only snipe when i am sitting here otherwise i always lose.     Sometimes i forget to bid and that is annoying.   Sometimes i have won something so cheap that i feel like i am stealing from them so i send them a bit more cash on top if i have it.     You get good feedback if you do that.    

         I am on my second account now as i got banned from ebay as i let someone else use my account .That was very stupid indeed. They were getting carried away and winning and not paying for items.     You learn in the end.

               I just cant afford to bid.     I just dont have ready cash               Its just like that at the moment.           They should a good buy as they arent common.   You never know with ebay             If ti is a set then i have never seen a set before.     I will watch them though,  but no bidding.
