It's all good, I'm told.

Hello PEO,
"I reckon 'drock'  looks more like a real word than 'drokk' and have written several strongly-worded letters about this: I really ought to send them somewhere.

Nice one, gonna have to be a gag theif and add that to my repertoir!

[DROKK]

It's DROKK You muppet, DROKK.

Just kidding, welcome and enjoy. Mispellings can end up in the prog or stuck in our community as norm, we're looking at you CL2K.

Thanks for reminding me, gggrrreat days.

Hi PEO!

I think our stories are similar (I'm a mid-90s abandoner, myself), although I never lost any old progs and in fact spent both my non-regular periods quietly accuring back issues from any second hand shops and fairs I could find. So now I have a storage issue, and I'm still not up to date!

I do recommend the trades though - we're really spoiled for back catalogue stuff and new stuff at the moment.

Guard your progs with your life because relationships come and go but losing all that nostalgia will hurt like nothing else!

Hi PEO, sorry to hear about losing your job, it's happened to me before, thankfully in the distant past, so I know how shit it can be.I've upgraded my collection and have hundreds of high quality duplicates ,including the Megazine and you know what you can have them for nothing. I'll be glad enough they've gone to a good home.I live nr Blackpool but travel around a lot -I'll send you a PM  to arrange a drop off.

Welcome back.

Eh up, I got your PM mate and have replied, thanks a lot.

Eh up!

Eh up!

Eh up!

Eh up!

Nice one gents, kind words indeed, and thanks for the tip about libraries i'll let you know how i get on.
Think the forums great by the way!

As this is the only forum i've ever joined im unsure of how to reply to each post seperately ( a bit sad for a bloke my age i know!) but i'll suss it out. Thanks for the replies and comments, considering my lack of loyalty. I used to live for saturdays progs and back in the day i felt i knew as much about 2000ad as anyone alive and yet it now feels like im back with an old girlfriend and i know nowt about her!(or where she's been!) I recently lost my job so i can't splash any cash on back issues just yet but i will take all your advice onboard, read plenty of threads and get back into the habit of purchasing weekly progs. Thanks again.

Phew, thanks for the welcome.

Hi, i've never been one for forums or computers really but i registered with 2000ad online in 2010 and promptly made a fool out of myself by spelling Drokk as Drock and have been too embarassed to return after such a mistake. I didn't introduce myself either and just made a few posts before my epic fail so i appologise for that. Another reason i haven't returned is that i haven't felt worthy because i stopped reading 2000ad in the mid nineties after leaving home ( big mistake, as when it went pearshaped i returned home to find all my saved weekly and monthly progs from the early eighties to mid nineties had been thrown out). I wont pretend i know whats been happening in my absence as but i can comment on what i know of the early years, if thats ok?

Question is, in twenty years time or more what are the classics of today that could be re-made?

Bah, I've been a teacher for fifteen years, with 2000AD artwork on my walls, and not one of my darned kids have read 2000AD (despite my best efforts!)

A fresh approach needed methinks, make them read back progs during detention maybe?
