"Devlin Waugh returns to the Meg soon so fear not for the ligering absence of Smith."

Is that the one with Peter Doherty on the art, or did I hallucinate that piece of information?

Cheers!

Jim

(Very much hoping he didn't.)

"I was always partial to sneck. "

Best. Made. Up. Swear. Word. EVAH.

Cheers!

"And for my money, there wasn't enough 'over the top' violence in the movie"

And therein lay the (IMO insurmountable) problem that faced the film from the outset:

If they made a 'proper' Judge Dredd film, then the wider audience would simply have slammed it as a rip-off of Robocop, even though Neumeier and Miner were quite open in their admission that Dredd was a massive influence on their Robocop screenplay ...

Cheers!

"oh come on"

So ... could you have written something better? Enquiring minds want to know.

"n the meantime, use your anger, give in to your hate, smite the oikish, save the string, better out than in!"

Oh, I fear I've given in to the Dark Side on this. [1]

Do I get to be a Sith Lord, then? I want one of those groovy double-edged light sabres!

Cheers!

{1] Sorry -- I've gotten so morbid that I've started calculating the insurance payout to my wife.

I know it's a horrendous overreaction, but four generations of my family history say that you only check out in one of two ways: heart attack or cancer. I'd been betting on heart attack ...

And your point is?

"i think fat boys gone and chickened out"

No ... I just went away from the computer to watch Torchwood (it was shite, BTW, as per my own advice on the Robin Hood thread, I won't be watching it again).

To address a couple of points that have come up on here:

'Pineapples' -- sort your fucking shit out. Behave like a decent human being, or expect to get your arse kicked. Either on here, or in person. My invitation remains open: I've got a fucking vat of bad feeling that I will introduce you to in a carpark of your choice.

To those have offered good wishes -- many thanks. FWIW, it's a melanoma gone (quite seriously) bad. Verdict is in the post ... the vast majority of these things tend to work out OK but (I hope, understandably) the horror stories are playing on my mind at the moment.

Cheers

"right my moneys on jim, £1,000,00 in used notes or the equivalent in uncut diamonds."

Now, that's unfair, Logan -- you know you already owe me that!

"you cud be just as easily banned with all the swearing"

Have you actually spent any time on this forum?

I name thee -- fucktard! [/The Mighty Thor]

Cheers

Jim

"you cud be just as easily banned with all the swearing so dont go round thinkin ur ard because you no how to grass on people"

Time and place, you little cunt. Go on. I'm in the mood.

Jim

"bring it on arse bandit"

Oh, dear. Thus speaks a man who has clearly never seen me. Or who believes that I don't know someone who knows their home address.

Either way, my retarded little buddy, you are now sailing dangerously close to the sort of behaviour that gets one banned from a forum such as this.

Now. I'm prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt from behind your anonymous little pseudonym and say this:

Your behaviour and tone whiffs quite suspiciously of someone who has been banned a number of times from this forum. If you aren't He Who Shall Not Be Named, then you need to moderate your tone and behaviour, and we'll all be quite happy with your presence here.

If you can't, or won't, do that, and want to continue to emulate HWSNBN, then you risk either being barred by association, or barred entirely in your own right.

Alternatively, pick a venue of your choice and we can settle this like men.

Seriously. I'm in the middle of a cancer scare and I'm looking to vent some very bad feelings.

Fuck you.

Jim

"wot dus splundig vurr thrigg mean?"

I think it means: fuck off you drivelling little shit.

I'm prepared to be corrected on this by those better informed than I.

Cheers!

"Krill Tro Thargo"

Bloody hell, Logan. I think you might actually be wrong on this one. The KTT was awarded to readers who went above and beyond in the service of Thrill Power (ISTR someone got one for donating their collection to the local children's hospital).

The award for being a continuous reader from Prog One was called something else, and it did sound something like Decco-something-Thargo.

Anyone who wants to contribute something more substantive than my drink-and-drug-ravaged recollections is most welcome to correct me on this.

Cheers!

"whats your beef?"

Err ... that you're coming across like a total dick?

And that would be "What's your beef?"

My suspicions of Mongo-ness are receding, and the whiff of dry-cleaning chemicals may have been a false alarm, but you're still coming across like a total dick.

I've only recently abandoned Usenet in favour of moderated forums to get away from cockmonkeys like you ... Sometimes I despair.

Bah!

Jim

"thanks man, ive read the dredd / friday story and its pants!"

Do you get some kind of typographical royalty every time you use an exclamation mark? And what's your beef with capital letters?

Get a fucking clue, you dick.

Cheers

Jim
