It's all still great, but I'm especially happy to see the return of Age of the Wolf. A great first episode.

Oh yes. Every Bonfire Night, I help out with the official event here. It's volunteer-run and in aid of charity - and enormously rewarding. I've been taking part for 10 years.

But it has taught me to avoid touching coins. When you've counted out 10 grand in cash, you learn. Coins are filthy!

Counting coppers? Pah. I feed them into one of those counting machines they have in supermarkets, and gladly pay their commission.

QuoteClaim?Think I've had 4 in last few years.The last one specifically pointed out the lack of replies on Dreddlines, guess what happened......

Please provide name/town or at least one issue that you were in an the Letters Beast Database will verify your claim. Not that we wouldn't take your word for it but people come on here all the time with fanciful claims!

Really don't get your post.The point I was raising was the general lack of replies in Dreddlines,not just to my own.It's rare any reply is posted -which is clear to all, simply looking for an explanation.

As for the 'fanciful claims' -I'm not claiming to have shot dead four men for pete's sake, just letters printed.

He wants your details so he can look your letters up in the database he made of all the letters ever printed in the prog and Meg. He's also taking the piss a little. He does that. Don't worry about it.  :)

News / Re: Ro-Jaws from 3A

That's very tempting, Mikey! I just told my wife a bit about Ro-Jaws and she laughed. I may get away with this one.

Argh. More stuff.

Anyway, thanks for the kind offer, Mikey. As with Tordelback, it will depend on the cost but I just got a little freelance work, so...

Tempting!

The solution to all of this would be to make me a mod. I would do a better job than House of Usher who isn't even here most of the time.

I want this to happen. Seriously. Make him guest editor for the day.

It would be fantastic.

No Dreddlines this month. Sorry lads.

You almost never reply to letters anyway.

I've had letters printed in the Meg before

It's not Fishy's fault - he's a partial friend of the letters page!

Many claim a letter printing heritage and we've been burned before. Please detail your claim and the Beast will decide!

Apologies to 'fishy' ,thought he was at Rebellion

I really like having a letters page in the Meg ,but it would be far better if they regularly replied to those who take the trouble to write in.Can't say fairer than that.

I'm Tharg in disguise. I'm also John Wagner, Pat Mills and Hilary Robinson. In a hat.

Forgot to add: no floppy here, either. I don't often read them, anyway.

I'm afraid it didn't take long to read.

The lead Dredd story is good enough, although kind of light. It's about Jeremy Kyle coming to the Meg. I'm sad to say I spent much of it predicting, correctly, what was going to happen next.

It's the last episode of Armitage, and the final panel made me grin. I'm not sure my suspension of disbelief stretches to the theory that [spoiler]judges' DNA can be booby-trapped,[/spoiler] but it's all science fiction so I'm not going to worry about it.

American Reaper isn't for me, I'm afraid. It has, at least, ended for now. It's back in the "fall".

Again, Strange and Darke is (IMO) the best thing in the Meg. It's now openly referencing the Wicker Man, which is kind of a relief as its influence is so obvious. But it has lots of great ideas in it and I'm loving the uncontrollable extra voice. It's a bit exposition-heavy this month, but hey-ho. Colin MacNeil drew it, so I'm happy.

Next month: the return of Diggle and Jock! Thank Drokk for that.
