Welcome back Johnny. Hope you had a good holiday mate.
Seeing the picture I thought immediately Lord of the Rings it's a hobbit, a dwarf and an ancient looking grumpy old wizard in the background.
Cheers Inca wait til I tell Amber you think she looks like a dwarf and as for the ancient comment, well just be very careful what you drink in Bristol!
I think the photo looks like one of those really bad Folk Album covers you used to get Johnny and the Fairisle kids sing ancient woodland ballads
I'd like to say you're looking good... but I can't.
and lastly... Malin fer Gawd's sake do somfin about that bleeding shirt!

At this point I should warn people that I'm viewing Bristol 2006 as a great excuse to get mouldy drung whilst, maybe, reading some comics.
Sounds like a plan.
But listen up people, I'm placing my trust in you lot to make sure that when I get back to my sister-in-laws, I'm more Dean Martin than Frank Sinatra, you know... charming while falling down.

I'm still really enjoying this story. For me the confusion in the story helps me empathise (sorry, I'll get my coat) with the confusion that Johnny boy finds himself in. Things like the Third Place and its denizen, which I have no idea about, just serve to pull me along to the next issue but like most things they will live or die by the ultimate conclusion... I just need to keep the mantra up don't worry 'bout a thing cos every little thing's gonna be alright and while I agree that Manco's work has possibly been better, I still think it's incredibly effective fo this type of story matter and gives it a proper gritty feel.

Did someone mention a pint?
The summoning works everytime!
I've been on hols in Wales and up to my eyes with shitty shite bollocky wanky work for the last few days, and on top of that it's Bruce Lee time with Gabe... why can't you just send your kids away to potty school and then pick em up when they're house trained?
Still the ace side is that his training pants have a picture of Spiderman on them and if he wets them the spiders disappear, so now we have the bizarre (and probably psychologically damaging) spectacle of Gabe sitting on the potty and looking in his pants to see if the spiders are still there.... "Daddy, Spiders still there! Gabe like Spider-man!"
Charlie good to hear you've had a blow out, bloody hell I could do with one right now. How's everthing at home, Laurie et al. ok?
-
Just got back from hols in Wales, here's one of me (looking old - only cos I hadn't shaved) and the kids. I like to think of it as The Three Ages of Man

James
in Hellblazer
The two threads seem to be converging nicely (travelling through space and time to coin a Hawkwindism) leaving one Hammer House of Horror timeframe and moving onto the next. Love it, but I really really don't like this cover, it just makes me think of Groundskeeper Willie eating a Ken Barbie doll.

Happy Birthday Sethos, we're 12 years behind everyone here, hence the late birthday wishes... hope you had a good un.

Or it turns up at a Phoenix Club Family Fun night giving free rides to overweight kids next to the sammy snake bouncy castle.... the only way I see K-9 being successful is if he trundles up and the Doctor boots him through a fucking window.Then it dies.
-
Nice one Gen - wrapping all three up together saves my precious fingers from extra wear and tear.
You say it's your birthday
It's your birthday and your birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
You're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's all of your birthdays
Happy birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Spider, Test and Finn... have great individual days.

...youngsters start moaning about getting old.
It wasn't up there with his best (Brazil)... so you might like itIsn't the new one supposed to stink?I've got a lot more hope for Tideland which has finally got a UK release date of 2nd June.

may I be so bold as to make a suggestion...I was at some sort of comics expo last year.This year I may well make the trip to Bolton in fancy dress.

Red, Kinki - stop now.
I have been trying to ignore such signs for a while now - my beard is mainly white and we'll leave it at that!

Does it show ?
I thought we were going to stay up until Fulham sucked Harry's bulging cock the other day.
Thanks for that image Ade. nice.
Might as well start it now...
"we'll see you all next year, we'll see you all next year..."
I would actually prefer to see Pompey go down with oily Rednapp... last day of the Premiership jumping between the relegation matches on FiveLive, drinking a beer in the garden, imagining the pain of thousands... is top in my book. (because I've endured enough relegation battles with Stoke and I spose I'm not that nice)

We had great toy guns when I was a lad - none of this red-tipped or lazer gun looking nonsense - Uzis, Schmeisers, M-16s, Colt 45s....!
You sure they were toys John??
I had an ace ring cap gun with a shoulder holster, used to think I was Bullitt (I watched it when I was way too young) a bit like this one but without the safety cap...

There was talk of it being cancelled, then of it being reduced to a six issue mini instead of eight (that would maybe fit in with your rushed ending theory ie. two stories in three issue segments) but now the thinking is that it will run for its full eight issues.Winter Men #4 is finally here - Fantastic, my favourite series of last year.Anyone know what happened to it?
Thought it was cancelled because #3 felt as if it's ending was rushed.
I thought the ending was fairly abrupt but I didn't get the rushed feeling, more a lull before the next storm... but it was a bit breathless right up to the end.
I've looked up the sales figures:
#1 - 11,300
#2 - 8,900
#3 - 8,300
I've no idea what figures it would take for DC to cancel a Wildstorm mini, (it's only eight issues fer chrissakes let it run) but people aren't likely to jump aboard on issue #4 and I would imagine they will have lost quite a few of those who have got bored waiting for 6 months, so you can safely say that the sales are going to be even lower. Still as they've got #4 out I would guess that it's going to run for the full eight issues.

Not yet Abhi, I've heard it is even better, but probably not for the kids just yet? I'll definitely watch it (in fact I've ordered it for work as I have just started to cover the animation section for the Uni!Watched Howl's Moving Castle with the kids the other day. It was wonderful, they're really good film watchers for their ages but I've never seen them so entranced by a movie as this. Amber is a real movie lover already at six but at two and a half Gabe amazed me by sitting there avidly for an hour and a half and with very little explanation managed to get a really good grasp of the story "Howl change into bird Daddy" "Howl alright Daddy?" "Sophie old like Granny, Daddy".Thank you Mr. Miyazaki et al. for giving me a magical couple of hours with my kids that I will never forget.
Spirited Away is much much better, LJ. Seen that one?
). Thanks for the other recommendation as well Sethos.

Ok it came out in the sixties but I watched as a kid in the early seventies...
I loved my blue snorkel Parka coat with orange lining (like the ones you see the kids wearing who run on the pitch in that FA Cup match between Hereford and Newcastle when Ronnie Radford scores) but I can't find any pictures of seventies kids wearing them!!
Drinking and nostalgerising is heavy on the soul... Zebedee?

No, me and Dad used to wolf our dinner down (sausages, mash and beans - God I remember that, it was the same every week, was it on Mondays about 7pm?). Jump into the armchairs and sit back to be entertained by spray painted plastic bottles posing as laser guns etc. It's good that this is a nostalgic thread cos' I'm getting all nostalgic!OMG another Blakes 7 fan. I thought me and my weird friend at the time were the only ones...
YepI had a massive thing for Avon...that's just as embarrassing as admitting you liked Servalan isnt it?Actually Paul Darrow is a really nice guy according to one of my friends who met him somewhere (convention probably), so apart from the inevitable weight gain, you could probably do a lot worse Kinks!
-
Cheers, Torchwood? I seem to remember reading this somewhere now, probably on this board knowing my crap memory retention! Could be ace, could be shite... (I loved Cap'n Jack - not in that way... I don't think!) maybe if they aim it at a slightly older audience, who knows.

New Doctor Who Trailer
It's poor quality, and not very long, but I like it. Tennant is just too cool.
Why didn't I look at this before, on the same page as the trailer it advertizes one of my favourite (scary) stories as a kid The Green Death but the first episode aired last night! Arses.
The trailer looks good, I had my doubts about Tennant (just lookwise really, no doubts about acting ability) but he looks great, dig the big sideburns. And the microsecond clip of the Cyberman just brought it all back to me, they were always the scariest for me.
I haven't been keeping up, are we unlikely to meet Cap'n Jack again?

It's worrying isn't it, she looks more like David Gahan in that picture :oWelcome to life out of the closet!I was only about 10 at the time though.... that makes it better or worse?

I loved Lego. is it just me, or does today's Lego seem solely based on movies? and am I alone in thinking the sets these days look much more simplistic (easier to construct)?
Curiously I've been having exactly the same thoughts. There is definitely a ton of movie tie-ins but I don't know if the sets reall;y are becoming more simplistic or if it's just looking at them with a different perspective now I'm older.
Agreed most of the stuff are customised pieces but you can still get the big tubs of normal bits:
My kids love it, I found a load of extra wheels and people from a car boot sale and they build all sorts of things (well Amber does and then Gabe smashes then up constructively.
She made this huge weird shape on wheels with bits sticking out everywhere, so I asked her what it was.... "It's Howl's Moving Castle, of course Daddy" and then Gabe chimed in with "Silly Daddy"... Lego breeds independence, dangerous stuff.

TRANSMUTE heh
is it a good idea t tell people I actually had a thing for Servalan? No, probably not...
I went to a show.

Yeh, if you ever want to feel guilty read up on how much the female body actually has to move its internal organs around to accommodate the pregnancy --ooooof. The bowling ball comment reminds me of that bit from Robin Williams live at the Met (back when he was funny) when he compares pregnancy to a bloke trying to piss a basketball oooow - I should stop now, yeh?
