Shit! I'm almost 30 and I'm sat arguing over what is basically a comic. Worse than that, I'm doing it over the Net with people I've never met. That makes me a cyber geek & comic nerd all rolled into one. I dread to download the boardgames in case i find myself heading off to Games Workshop this weekend in search of White Dwarf back issues. At what point did a childhood love become an obsession?

Is there an echo in here?  How many other almost thirty people agree with that comment as much as I do.

Me -  but I'm not in any danger of running off to Games Workshop - definitely no time for that stuff

consider the alternative, chaps: dull dull dull, watch eastenders, chat to the missus, go to the pub, sleep, work dull dull dull.

i love being this immature:)

Matt's realisation is what we call in the literary trade a 'naked lunch' moment.

For those of you who haven't waded through William Burroughs' opiate masterpiece (or, for that matter, seen the film), it's the sudden realisation of _exactly_ what you're doing; so you're, like, eating lunch and suddenly you realise EXACTLY where your ham sandwich came from, and exactly what had to be done to stick it in your lunchbox.

This has been a public service announcement.

Oh, and FYI, I'm not 30 and won't be for a few years yet :P
