If so put your reputations on the line.

Recently someone asked the city council if they had contingency plans for a zombie assault and because there wasn't any he staged a mock attack starting from the clock tower to the council offices.
And no I wasn't one of them.

Been bulk reading red sea's and have a little niggling question.
Cerberus has many siblings but don't remember Erebus being one of them. I am sure I have missed something but have scoured T'internet but doesn't show any link to the two.
Is there anyone out there with the info or is it the Edgington droid just tinkering with the Mythos.

So what new thing have you learnt today?

I never knew that the Americans used the pump action shot gun with fixed bayonet in the trenches of WWI.




What made me laugh is that the Germans considered this to be a murderous weapon and tried to get them banned under international law in warfare. Yet they condoned the use of mustard gas. A much less violent weapon of warfare.

Why the fuck am I watching it?

MENONLY dated 94 and 95
MAYFAIR dated 95
Razzle dated 98
Parade dated 96 (Not PRP)
TWO of obscure titles Derriere and Private and two small hard core titles straight off the continent.

All of used condition Some with pages glued together

Having recently recieved my latest batch of the Starships and Vehicles Collcetion, issue 64 is virtually dedicated to Cam's work. The ship featured 'The Imperial Tie Crawler' is from a

throw away design in the middle of his seventh page of Dark Empire

.

There is no review yet of the issue but if anyone wants me to scan some of the pages in I will do so.

Here's to hours of fun.

I went to the Space Centre for the little Sci-Fi gig.
The prop Lawgiver that was there was a masterpiece. It was nice to hold and a decent weight, working trigger mechanism, Various working LED button controlled on pistol grip. The final product will have 16 vocal actions.

The project has been a two year labour of love, He said it would have been finished earlier but family crisis have got in the way.

From what the guy told me Mr Kingsley is still exited about this project and he will try to keep the price fairly affordable.

He has a web site but not much is on there at the moment due to his problems.

I wish I had more time to talk to him but the whole day was for my son and I am sorry Lawgiver or not he comes first.

Only these three piccy's I am afraid, I didn't stock up on batteries.

[simple]

This is a small request for all you arty types.

Wifey is doing some small activities for the children at the local Sure Start which she volunteers for and is looking for some decent simple pictures of Skeletal parts both human and animal. Skull, Rib cage, Hands, Feet, arms and legs (upper and lower), pelvis.

Soooo, if it is all right could some (or all of you) knock them up please. That would be much appreciated

Thanks

So what did you get your loved ones for this Special occasion.

I got my missus a card (standard) and Zombieland on blueray.
I received a card and two huge jar's of quality street.

Sophie is just being delivered on a play date so the rest of the day is for us   Just waiting for the missus to get back.

Just decided to bite the bullet and but the OT on Blue ray as sick of waiting for the all singing all dancing box set. So glad I didn't go ahead with it.
How this news passed me by I don't know but my sister in law pointed it out to the wife today.

Was this necessary and is it any good. Loved the Original as a kid, Classic Duke.
Didn't even know this had been remade until I saw it on the side of a bus shelter.
From what I have just read on certain review sites I wont bother.

[YOU]

One of my best friends 4 year old daughter seriously needs a bone marrow transplant and it must happen this year. So it you haven't been tested please do so for the sake of all the sufferers around the country who are desparately clinging to life.
YOU could make a difference.
