  1. Roll your fate

    If she's a killer and you end up dead.

    Roll your fate

     

    (that one is for Charlie K)  :laugh:

     

     

    See the dice come up snake eyes

    The roulette wheel says zero

    You're reaping the fruit of your lies

    You shouldn't have played the hero

  2. Opened the can of worms dincha.

     

    - TB

    that sounds like a very tasty can of worms! i'm totally intrigued...

     

    you know i'm one of those DC exclusive bastards for the time being though don'tcha?

    + cos i drew it today and enjoyed it, a sneek peek of some swamp thing ----

     

     

    Bloody Hell !

    If they don't want you on that book regularly then they get what they deserve.

     

    I don't even read it any more, but the guest artists have been rather good recently.

  3. How cool!

     

    You clutch at throbbing, tumbled guts;

    to keep the vomit in there.

    But try to leave - the gateway shuts.

    And puke flies into yor hands and hair.

     

    (This one's for "Pukin' Lou."

     

     

    To keep the vomit in there,

    Use a big stick.

    And puke flies into your hands and hair,

    If you're not careful while being so sick.

  4. Ah, but did you ever notice the dichotomy in most of the Endless (until Neil got lazy, :p )?

     

    Dream, you think of aspirations and hopes, but he is depressed all the time and gloomy, with no hope.

    Death is scary and unknown, but she's a happy, pretty woman.

    Destruction becomes an artist, read: a Creator.

     

    OK, so 3 out of the 7 anyway....

     

    But Dichotomy was part of the Endless family.

     

    That is to say, other than the fact that all creation requires Destruction of some kind, and doesn't Death meet everyone twice?

     

    Desire clearly encompasses hatred and jealousy, if ever Despair loses hope she dies.

     

    It was Desire that killed Dream of course.

  5. Plucky little Birmingham City Youth team beat high-flying Reading!

    Check it out - five players with less than ten games each on average,

    Upson, Johnson and Heskey suspended,

    two players cup-tied,

    and the following injury list:

    Lazaridis, Cunningham, Dunn, Izzet, Sutton, Nafti, Kuqi, Kilkenny, Tebily and Butt

    and okay Taylor who is shite.

    So don't try the unlucky Reading nonsense.

     

     

    LostJohnny can't you make the Stoke-Blues game now it is on Sunday?

    It look like I'll be there.

  6. "The muslims are way out of order ..."

     

    I don't think anyone would dispute that the hard-core protestors are well out of order though, would they ?

     

    They are not "the muslims",

    it's the kind of logic that says all men are (potential) rapists.

    I'm not accusing anyone here of that sort of generalisation but several news "journalists" have.

  7. Let's not fall into the over-generalisation that is at the cause of this.

     

    Of course the Pope gets lampooned over Catholic attitudes to sex/contraception/etc, but that is hardly the same as this case.

    But Christianity rarely gets lumped in as one homogenous demonised sugary lump in "The West". And that's what I hear happening in this case - eg "The muslims are way out of order ..." (read the Millarworld threads on this matter for some examples)

     

    EVERYONE is a political animal, even those folks who say "I don't want to argue about this" and certainly the vast majority of people who are appalled at the violent protests going on over what is a fundamental misunderstanding about "Freedom of Speech".

     

    There's just been a woman on the BBC news saying that Islamophobia is being propogated by these images, and whatever the original case (which was deliberately provocative remember) there are certainly factions on both sides using this case to stir up xenophobia. Interesting point of order, she said it was not an issue of freedom of speech, but I would say it certainly has become one due to the nature of the protests. Interestingly she was referring to integration while wearing the more westernised head dress (I forget what that's called, not the hajib).

     

    Sadly the BBC discussion was immediately followed by some crass yellow journalism referring to the bloke who dressed as a suicide bomber at the London protest. Saying he is a convicted drug dealer ! The BBC news are well out of order with that, it has approximately zero relevance to the case. And they lead the bulletin with this item!

     

    Connected to this was a TV show last night about the rise of the right wing music scene in Europe and America. Here their gigs have to be secret because (1) they are mostly banned and (2) venues don't want to put them on.

     

    Here's an interesting point for debate.

    As I understand it, in America the freedom of speech allows for things that we in Europe take for granted as banned. In Europe, these views carry on underground, but they also do so in America. Where do people draw the line?

     

    For my own part, I think specifically violent or inciteful content should be criminalised, but anything else is fair game.

  8. I also found the HOOLIGANS WILL HAVE GOING TO BE HAVE KILLED FOOTBALL ! speech poorly realised, but completely in keeping with the 1970s and better than that Posh Arsenal Twat's Feeble Pitch book. Also, hooligans did not meet in disuses warehouses, but on The Streets (then again they did not kill each other to provoke a fight).

     

    The villain was as predictable as three 24 buses arriving at the same time.

    As was the hero walking past himself at the match.

     

    As I've said elsewhere, when chappie awakes in the modern world, I hope he gets to meet WPC Annie as a fiftysomething blousey Barbara Flynn.

  9. Well I just got mine in the post this morning. I was a little slow answering the door so I had to chase the attractive young postlady down the street a little to catch her.

     

    Thanks very much Adrian for setting this whole deal up.

     

    The prints are fantastic. :D

     

    Yeah, I lied about sending yours last :-L
