Hah! I recently got a leaflet through the door advertising Narnia. And what was on the inside?

Bloody local Christian group trying to recruit sad lonely people into the local sect. I tell you they're everywhere. I was rather offended I tell you.

No offense to anyone intended of course, but I thought that was a bit cheap and desperate.

But I think the answer is "Yes", so we can praise it and pull it to bits, depending on what seems necessary. I'm just trying not to 'read all about it' on the Beeb website!

"Weak answers would suffice."

Weak scripts would suffice also, apparently :o)

"What was the actual reason to suggest Captain Jack was bisexual?"

To entrance a female audience. 'Awwww, isn't he lovely, I wish he was my best friend' And this metrosexual crowd, whatever the hell that is.

I won't even try to justify any of the Time Lord stuff, I'd thought much the same.

"Those aliens who keep invading Cardiff: What was their actual motivation"

Cos they're aliens, obviously! That what they do :o)

Hmm, think I'll miss out on that then. Reckon Newcastle would be half way from here :o)

Excellent, good to see it's still trundling along.

Interview sounds interesting too.

Yeah, the one's mentioned above. Been out over the last few years. Latest one's still hardback at the moment.

oops, cheers Max

Not 'typically' for the site that is, but for me linking it.

[New Elric Trilogy]

In the interests of not straying from the point, the following has not been posted to the Ghibli thread...

New Elric Trilogy
I'm currently reading the "final" Eternal Champion book just now, 3rd of the recent Elric trilogy. It's rather damn good, although not as hack n slash as the older ones. Loads of characters coming together from the League of Temporal Adventurers, Von Beks etc and they'll all in Granbretan of all places (The evil empire from the Hawkmoon books). Good old Gaynor von Minct and Klosterheim are of course intent on the destruction of everything. All three (The Dreamthief's Daughter, The Albino in America and The White Wolf's Son) are thoroughly recommended for anyone who's read any of the Eternal Champion "series", especially the Elric ones. Started in 1953/5(?) by all accounts.

Elric: The Making of a Sorceror
Also started the new Elric 'origin' comics (got 1 and 2 of 4 so far) with georgeous art by Walt Simonson. Absolutely superb, dealing with Elric's long dreams (which the recent trilogy have also been part of, kind of).

Some of you may know Elric from the D&D type game of course, which I've never seen myself.

Here's a link to some info on it and more importantly, there's some examples of the artwork. The site (typically) seems to be down right now, but I'm sure it'll be back up once the Conjunction of the Million Spheres has passed...

Link: The Multiverse

lol, no worries here, it was certainly spotted. I thought you looked a bit Slainesque to be honest. Fabry didn't use you as a model did he?

:o)

As for current work *looks up phone list*...

Randy 'someone', that's always good for a chuckle.

Also a G Skalley. Nah, I'm struggling now.

"Mrs Frontal-Gay" lol, that's excellent.

Not at my current work but when I did a placement year at a "big american oil comany", they used to make email addresses out of your first initial and the first three letters of your surname. Being global, various admins in other countries didn't really spot the significance, so they had WANK-at-Company.com, PISH-at-Company.com, SHIT-at-Company.com. There were quite a few, was hilarious, felt like I was 10 years old looking up bad words in the dictionary or something :o)

I'm sure there's many people who'd like to as well. Well, maybe not the first one perhaps.

They've changed them all now so proper names I think, but honestly, they were real.

Gaaaah, I thought it must be a place, just missed the answer. Good one.

Aaargh.

It's not the name of a town is it? Hmm, but that wouldn't contain armed men. Hmm...

Bah, I dunno, I'm off to see King Kong. I shall return to see if anyone's got it later on.

S'later.

Mansion?
