Yoohoo Wakemeister!

The DR & Quinch link is, like, totally defunct, man.

Well, it is set in Melbourne.

They also have young people who don't smoke, drink or take drugs - unless the main theme of their character arc is to become a hideous social outcast because of their propensity to smoke, drink or take drugs.

Mind you, at least they've stopped that annoying habit of ending each scene with a guitar riff and half a line from a soft-rock easy listening lift sound track that complimented the scene.

Not that I watch it.

(Message to self:  read the thread before replying on the off-chance that the person who posted before you made exactly the same point and you end up looking like a parrot.)

Maybe the person who made the post had just picked up prog 1441 and saw The VCs, Dredd, Slaine and Shakara (aka alternity Nemesis) and thought "hey - what's changed?"

And Sector 301 got it's number in prog 355's "Bob's Law", when all the Sectors were renumbered after the Apocalypse War.

Has anyone done the "what's Dredd's skin pigmentation got to do with it" joke yet?

Hrmn...maybe they should deal with something like abducting innocent people and then flying them around the world to legal black-holes and having them tortured by a secret police force with the collusion of the Brit-Cit government.

Nah...too far fetched.

Maybe she asked her pals "what would any guy want for xmas?" and they said "an electronic beaver".

"I do not own a gun, let alone several, that would necessitate a rack."

This lassie got me a dirty old man's raincoat once.  For one thing, I was 28, and for another thing, I had no urge (not even a secret one tucked away at the back of my subconscious) to wander the streets flashing my "last chicken at Tescoes" at unsuspecting passersby.  Or even to look like I might.

When I say "got", I mean it belonged to her dead grandfather and stank of mothballs:  two more things to add to the now burgeoning list of reasons why I would never wear such a garment, and why I could now envisage a long and healthy future of washing my hair whenever she called.

The crappest present I ever gave was a pack of playing cards that had a traditional Scottish bagpiper (in full military regalia) printed on each card - the same picture on all 52, as well.  It was really crap because I'd been given ?5 to buy my sister a present, spent ?0.99  on the cards and bought myself sweeties with the rest of the loot.

She still has those cards, and brings them out to show me from time to time.

What is your, like, defintion of "old scrote", man?

Ah, but did you give up cards and listening to the radio?

They'll not want to play Sim City, that's all.

What's a CCG?

I'll match your prog-numbering problem and raise it a page-counting problem.

(If only to make Dark Jimbo gnash and wail slightly.)

If we're going to argue that the unit of prog currency is a publication with the word "prog" (or "programme", for you early prog owners) on the front cover, fair enough, but one could just as easily argue that the unit of thrill-power is actually equal to 32-pages (in order that the units remain equal in size).  We then run into the problem of 100-page issues, which are clearly not divisable by 32 (or even 16, the standard publishing signature).  Which, of course, brings us to units of thrill-power that are 4 pages long.

If that's the case, I defy anyone to know what prog we're really on.
