Progue Logue

[Eric Plumrose]

Anyone any idea which prog would have been in orbit immediately before Thursday 3rd. December, 1998?

I've had a butchers at Barney but, as far as I can tell, the covers during this era weren't giving the year.

I think it's prog 1122 looking at the copyright suff, but I have been known to be wrong. Very wrong!

[I, Cosh]

Yup/ Barney also has cover dates in the detail.

Ah, cheers for that. Thought there had to be a better way of navigating the Prog covers than by doing it in blocks of fifty.

2nd. December, 1998 was a Wednesday. Would Prog 1122 have been available to buy on the preceding Saturday (i.e. 28th. November)?

[I, Cosh]

I doubt it. In Orbit every Monday.

Probably 1121

Nice pronunciation.

Prog rhymes with Rogue.

Tharg laughs at you.  That is all.

Heh. Yet always available in Blighty on a Saturday. That is to say, when I was buying it, at least.

Sim-1 explained in one of the annuals the whole mystery of it. Or not, as I seem to remember.

Tharg doesn't laugh, he agrees. The Mighty One confirmed in a reply to one of my very own letters that Prog does, indeed, rhyme with Rogue.

No doubt, if anyone can be arsed, a more clever person could link to that.

Did he?  Then I stand corrected- although, sadly, Tharg appears to be talking out of his rosette...

[Matt Timson]

And how can you know where the exact quote is, but fail to provide a link?!?  Just cut and past the address bar.  Even my granny can do that.  And she's dead.

[Eric Plumrose]

Siriarse?

[Matt Timson]

Maybe I'm just having one of those days, but Tharg seems to be saying that it's 'prog' like 'log'.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Did he? Shows what I know. He is talking pish anyway.

[Matt Timson]

Tharg would never talk pish and anyone who would even think of suggesting that this might be the case is a bad man.  Just to clarify, talking out of your rosette is nothing like talking pish.  Nothing.

That's prog like log, kids.
