It rocks, it rolls, it moves you, takes you up, down and round this fucked up world we live in and makes you understand that life is a tremendous journey, listen to this as the soundtrack of your travels . Put your speakers on full and wait for the guitar it's a spine driver vibrating the fluid right up into your cerebral lovebox!

...and have to come as something beginning with the letter 'P', any ideas...

Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/spooks/" target="_blank">one of THE best series on TV!!!!!

WOW!

Link: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/robots/" target="_blank">this looks great!

Me, 'cos I'm up to my neck in crappola and also have a virulent infection of Hexalomomian Pustules which are due to Spore between 1 and 3pm tomorrow, and I have to collect them for the Gorallax Council of Cheam.

:-( Mike

PS: The Council are paying me 5p per Spore and by the looks of things I have 60% coverage which equates to around ?350.00 plus VAT@17.5%. Does anyone know if this is a reasonable fee, should I be charging them for conception time, gestation mutilation, and finally does anyone know where I can sell the pus? I have heard it's used as an ointment against 'Ferrollous Scratch' and 'Suit Hives' for long distance travellers, but obviously with the ship in dry dock under Glastonbury Tor and the ban on onwolrd teleporting I can hardly go to the unimarket of Kraxxen IV.

Cheers
Yours not looking forward to scraping out the pox with a spatula.

...been away fr a while and i was wondering, whilst away for a while, what the weapon of choice would be (given a choice of 2000ad weapons) for the discerning boarder around town.

Now I am partial to a weapons crest, and in case the rain washes off my home made tattoo, I back this up with a risky stubb gun (always a gambler when it comes to violence) supported by a time grenade.

En garde, zap, bzzzzzt....

This looks really good...

Clearing out the studio at the moment and I have found an unused copy of Adobe Photoshop LE, V5.0 for Mac or PC.

..get down!

Wonder if any of you have come across this? This wa posted by a friend of mine on another forum, check out the two sites it's unbelievable what the theives have done....

"Just wondering if anyone here could give me some legal advice on a blatant site rip off.

My wife made up the website for her company GGS some 6 months ago go to http://www.ggs.co.uk/section_intros/websites/websites.html

and then this site was bought to her attention

http://www.focusdesigns.co.uk/index1.htm

Spot any similarities ? The site has been copied throughout !"

If so does anyone know how, in the UK, they stand legally?

"Forget burritos, pinatas and Salma Hayek. Guillermo Del Toro is arguably Mexico's finest export. The acclaimed director of Cronos and The Devil's Backbone, he's been dipping his toe into the waters of Hollywood recently, applying his skewed sensibilities to the likes of Blade II. And now he's found the perfect vessel for his geek powers - Hellboy.

An adaptation of the Mike Mignola comic about the world's greatest paranormal investigator (a red-skinned, wisecracking demon, no less), the film was a no. 1 hit when it opened in the States back in April. But it's finally opening here on September 3 and to discuss this, his career and anything under the sun, Guillermo is coming into the Empire office for a live webchat this FRIDAY at 4.30pm. If you have a burning desire to ask GDT (one of the nicest men in the 'biz, fact fans) anything, then click here around 4.15pm to log in."

To all who have sent me emails regarding sale of artwork etc. in reply to my classified ad request.

I am still interested, but have been told by my equivalent other that I can have what I want when we get the house finished, which is probably going to be around xmas time, so guess what she's getting me for xmas, ha, ha.

Apologies if thsi was a pain in the ass, but i will buy some soon promise :-)

L

I think this is what they were called, they were the sci fi equivalent of Commando, small sized comics.

Is there a website and do you know if any are availabel for sale anywhere, tried ebay, but don't know what to ask for.

Cheers
