I still think he would have looked good on my mantle piece.

Thanks to yesterdays Observer Fotomoto's L.P. “Suranov, a?” should get some well deserved attention, something from Dressy Bessy this year would be welcome. Apart from that I've been looking more to the stuff I couldnt get last year more than 2005.

£325,000 of public money spent by Prince Andrew to whisk him all over the place on planes and helicopters...i wonder if there's any chance they'll disclose the figures of public money spent on skiing holidays as well?

Yes apparantly he doesn't like waiting for trains, poor thing.

The amount of cash the royals get from us has dwindled over the years as many hangers on from the far fringes of the family were made to go out and earn a wage (albeit for noncing round Chelsea creating dubious job titles for themselves). A large proportion of the Queens wealth is made by a crack team of financial investors who ensure that if our British public ever grow the balls to rise up then she wont have to go without.

In this grey, dull, overly p.c. world I like the way that old fool Prince Phillip puts his foot in any situation with a television camera nearby, you can't really hate him for it because he's harmless.

By no means am I a royalist but come the revolution I would gladly take in Zara Phillips.

Don't bank on it making a significant contribution to the wedding. I sold some signed Sean Hellblazers on Ebay (to cover a large purchase of his original artwork) and got between £5 - 8 each.

You may want to hold on to it for a while but if you do Ebay it let me know.

Cheers

My name's down on Y: I picked up the first trade a while back and was going to continue with the rest, but this is easier and cheaper.

 

Can someone who knows about such things tell me if there's a problem with writing a cheque from a UK (sterling) bank account to a US recipient, and if so, how to get around it? If I have to I can send $30 as cash notes, but a cheque would be preferable.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You can't write cheques between countries, either send the cash by International signed for (you're not really supposed to send cash either but this is the easiest way), or international money order (from the post office but they charge around £12). Failing that use Paypal.

Various visits to New Zealand (Auckland my birth place, up and down the north island), Australia (Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Brisbane, many places inbetween) and the Cook Islands (Rarotonga my mums birth place and Aitutaki) where I have lots of family.

New York and L.A; both wonderful places with great people.

Singapore

Hong Kong

Tai Pei

Kuala Lumpur

France (Paris, Cannes)

Italy (Rimini, Florence, Rome, Milan)

Belgium (Brussels, Brugge) A great country to visit

Spain (Barcelona and a god awful family holiday when I was 14 in some shit hole tourist trap where everyone ate bacon and eggs in the morning)

As for England I grew up in the north east but was always visiting the main body of my English family in Surrey and Berkshire. Thus I've been round many places in the North and South of England but nowhere inbetween (Birmingham, Nottingham basically the midlands but I've heard I'm not missing much).

I like to get away as often as possible, aiming to visit Berlin and Dublin at some point in the future.

Chin up, your getting a weekend on the piss out of it.

Hitler on 27 questions, grrr.

Joined this one late but would be great to see Jaime Hernandez (already mentioned), Jeremy Eaton or Daniel Clowes do something off beat with Hellblazer.

My Browser crashed.

That's not cool. Return it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah. You gotta be one of the good guys, son. 'Cause there's way too many of the bad.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bollocks, keeping someones overpriced gadget doesnt make you Hitler. Ebay it and add to your limited student budget.

I always carry a Rotring 0.2 drawing pen and feel apprehensive if I forget it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

0.2 Rapidograph? damn, I never go smaller than the .35mm ones... the others are just too fine for me (in more way than one - I accidentally snapped the point of a .15mm once).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Great, now my girlfriend has cleaned my desk and put my pen in some far corner of the world.

I can't sit down if it means there will be other people or a door behind my back.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ditto

I don't like people sitting behind me in a car (see Goodfellas)

I always carry a Rotring 0.2 drawing pen and feel apprehensive if I forget it.

Pooka, this sounds like a really good gig that you're unusually well suited for, and for the good of the young people who would be helped, I'd much rather see you handling this job than anyone else I can think of.  Good luck & knock 'em dead!  8-)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Knocking kids dead could be a proffesional faux pas, I would advise against it.

'Repetoire. Tamara will chat endlessly about her upper-class lifestyle and celebrity friends.

Special Requirements. Tamara is a vegetarian and only drinks expensive champagne.'

Doesnt that sound like an enchanting evening.

I used to love the Spirit.

The Guardian newspaper gave him a good write up although I nearly choked on my cornflakes when I saw it.

And I still think this could only work as a trilogy: even the book is divided in three dramatic parts. I'm afraid this condensation of 'key' scenes, i.e. the coolest, is really going to hurt Evey's character.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I wouldnt want the Wankowskis to stuff up another trilogy.

Hope this turns out OK (but slightly pessimistic), Vendetta is by far my favourite comic book after Hellblazer.

Hey Andy, how's Australia?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Wouldn't know, I'm back in the UK. My girlfriend cant get out of a work contract in Southampton until August so rather than sit on a beach twiddling my thumbs I came back to work for a bit (fucking nuts I know).

Now living in the eutopia that is Bedford Place, Southampton.

Had a good time abroad though.

You still studying here?

Ok, I have a question.

 

Moustaches. Why?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

For seventies porn, Magnum and Eighties footballers of course.

It wasn't the feature length pilot to a short lived U.S. TV series was it. Can't remember the title but the premise sounds familiar (could be many things I suppose).

Have rarely been here since I got back to the UK (changed dwelling in Southampton havent reconnected to broadband yet).

Didnt expect New Years Eve to be anything special (again) and so wasnt dissapointed (in fact had a good time watching the pissed en mass, forgot to drink myself).

Accidentally got into marriage discussion with my girlfriend of 4 years, the initial talks were for visa reasons (we're moving to Australia next this year, I have a UK and New Zealand passport she only has a UK, turns out it wont make that much difference to her application) still not that up for it but think of the party.

Started writing for the next short film , watched Tsunami footage and then rescued a spider from my bathtub (I saved a life, good feeling).

Happy New Year.

Good that Matt (Kejoxen) is still here and that Rogan still writes such shite "she has some serious abandonment issues. and in the mddle of a fight, i walked out on her. she then compated that to her dad walking out on her family..."

You won't remember me but it's nice to see you here.

 

Where in the UK you staying?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I definately remember you and Pooka. Staying back in glorious Southampton and saving to go away again.

Spike Jones DVD to sit next to the Michael Gondry I got for my birthday

Hello there! Finished travelling the world? Did you bring us back a straw-stuffed purple donkey and some dubious alcohol?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Good to be back from Australia, Im staying on in the UK till August, initially confused by the change in forum until I saw some familiar names. Haven't read Hellblazer for a few months so I've got some catching up to do.

Dubious alcohol? Oz is full of it.
