Yep, I'll vote for that.

Damn Beano reading creeps!

LOL. Yep, I remember that. Kind of went like "Building up your body by doing loads of weights and being able to kill someone with a stare is better than doing drugs kids!"

LOL. Yep, If I met him I think I'd call him Sir!

Henry Rollins for Judge Dredd!!! :o)

He did have a marvellous 'dumb cop' part in Lost Highway!!

Plus he's in the new Jackass film, if you can stand to watch it!:O)

He was indeed. Never managed to hear that much Black Flag, in fact I've seen more live covers than I've heard songs. Always meant to get some but kept forgetting I suppose. Last one I heard was the Dead Kennedys.

> U2 doing "Beat on the Brat"

Bizarre. Hmm, can't be a patch on the Nomeansno version :o)

Must be a few fans of them here. Or any Metallica fan will have heard at least 2 of their songs (Last Caress/Green Hell).

Anyway, there's a tour coming up next month with Jerry Only of The Misfits, Dez from Black Flag and Marky Ramone. Doing Misfits number past and present, plus a few Black Flag and Ramones classics.

Check Tour Dates for the UK leg of the M25 tour. Nothing to do with the motorway :o)

Overjoyed at them coming to Aberdeen!!!

"Then there?s big bad mutie Mr Bones, hardly one of the most memorable villains ever seen in Dredd"

You're right there. I didn't even remember him from the undercity story when I saw the Thargnote*, and that was only a couple of months before!!

Damn fine progs!

I preferred the Alien Queen cover myself. Stunning!! Although there's nothing wrong with the other one.

Dredd/Aliens: Nice ending! I especially liked the way Dredd removed the standard opening for a sequel. If he didn't do that they'd have been sure to escape, a la Judge Death. Good ending line too :o)

VC's: Splendid impossible Flash Gordon type cliffhanger. Nice! Much better art too by the end

Atavar: Excellent stuff. Can't wait for the 3rd part.

Damn splendid of Rebellion to give the subscribers both copies.

As has already been said, I can't wait for the Trial either. By Cam Kennedy!!! Excellent!!

Let's hope next next week's is better. It had better be, it's got the world's greatest artist on it!!! :o)

Incidentally, I've no desire to start a 'who's the best artist in the world' thread here.

Anyway, thought you should all know that the Daily Star Dredd in this months Meg was originally printed on my 16th birthday!! WOOHOO! GAH!!! Slightly more than half my life ago :o(

That's the one :o)

Two countries separated by a common language..............


The British speech : (Lt.Col Tim Collins)

"If you are ferocious in battle, remember to be Magnanimous in victory. We
go to liberate, not to conquer. We are entering Iraq to free a people, and
the only flag that will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Don't
treat them as refugees, for they are in their own country. If there are
casualties of war, then remember, when they woke up and got dressed in the
morning they did not plan to die this day. Allow them dignity in death. Bury
them properly and mark their graves. Iraq is steeped in history. It is the
site of the Garden of Eden, of the Great Flood and the birth of Abraham.
Tread lightly there."


The US speech : Vice Admiral Timothy Keating

"When the president says 'Go', look out - it's hammer time" (followed by We
Will Rock You played at high volume to the troops)

Hmm, makes me think of a certain song by The Exploited that I'd like to sing to them!

That'll probably go over most people's heads but suffice to say, it contains an expletive, a conjunction and a countries name. I won't quote it here in case it offends any genuine human beings who happen to be american.

> When someones pointing a gun at you you don?t worry about how many people at home are wearing t-shirts.

Very true. It's police back home that enforce that one. In America at least, not here.

Anyway, before I sound like I'm talking out my arse, this is the story I'm on about:

Associated Press story:


ALBANY, N.Y. - A man was charged with trespassing in a mall after he refused to take off a T-shirt that said "Peace on Earth" and "Give peace a chance."

Mall security approached Stephen Downs, 61, and his 31-year-old son, Roger, on Monday night after they were spotted wearing the T-shirts at Crossgates Mall in a suburb of Albany, the men said.

The two said they were asked to remove the shirts made at a store there, or leave the mall. They refused.

The guards returned with a police officer who repeated the ultimatum. The son took his T-shirt off, but the father refused.

"'I said, `All right then, arrest me if you have to,'" Downs said. "So that's what they did. They put the handcuffs on and took me away."

Downs pleaded innocent to the charges Monday night. The New York Civil Liberties Union said it would help with his case if asked.

Police Chief James Murley said his officers were just responding to a complaint by mall security.

"We don't care what they have on their shirts, but they were asked to leave the property, and it's private property," Murley said.

A mall spokeswoman did not return calls Tuesday seeking comment.

Monday's arrest came less than three months after about 20 peace activists wearing similar T-shirts were told to leave by mall security and police. There were no arrests

Do you get UK one's?

Indeed!!

I just don't get this "Support the troops" thing. I don't see exactly how we can 'support' them. I've certainly nothing against anyone in the military, more the politics that force them into it.

Anyway, let's hope it's over soon before everyone's killed by friendly fire.
