Somehow I've never had the urge to drink gin straight

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've never had the urge, but always the necessity - especially when going through rough patches with boyfriends, then it's a quarter bottle at a time. Yak.

I've never been able to tell the difference between a good vodka and a bad one (they all taste like nowt to me) - but then you could blind test me on a cheap plonk next to a vintage barolo and I still wouldnt be able to tell the difference!!

You could restart this in another thread with a poll question....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Good idea...

Watched Rosemary's Baby again last night and it got me thinking. The rituals etc are very sinister but strangely appealing (I must be crazy to think this). I've always had a fringe interest in the occult (imagery/culture etc) but would never get really involved. I've often wondered what it must be like to get more involved though (self destructive impulses?)....

Just wondered where people stood on this? Am I alone in my craziness!!LOL.

A high percentage of alcoholics choose straight Vodka as their drink of choice. It was mine!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mine too! Usually keep a bottle chilling in my fridge. Useful for post stressful day/immediate fuzzy feeling required purposes.

Now that I am watching House regularly, and might I say, fanatically. I think he could play Constantine. Hugh Laurie. Isnt he Brit?  When he appeared in the Jame Leno show, he seemed Brit

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry dont watch House...are you saying you can see Hugh Laurie as John? Who is Bladder?

(she comes in late and is the ONLY PERSON TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS !)

 

What do you expect - we're Hellblazer fans! And when does John ever follow instructions? ;-)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha ha!...i only follow instructions when it's in my interest and my interest only to do so!!

Otherwise I tend to do the opposite to what the instructions say ;-)!!!

Oops I forgot may I have the proofs personalised please?

Please put 'to Kath'. Many thanks Tim.

See I'm not totally perfect!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha!!

Oh, I knew. You slur your "Qs".

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Drink your own bodyweight in VODKA (mixed with tonic and, CRUCIALLY interspersed with pints of water) - et voila; no hangover. Fucking awesome.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

See that requires a level of consideration that just doesn't happen for me where alcohol is involved.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That is coz I am a control freak of the highest order...even when getting wasted is concerned.

 

Nice!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha ha ha!

Re the novel - wonder if it has any piccies in it and if so who did them?

Roll on feb!!

Oh, I knew. You slur your "Qs".

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha ha ha! That's witty.

Well I've just come back from the Best Weekend In A Long Time (goth fest in Whitby North Yorkshire - some people might have heard of it? It rocks). Anyway - Here's my tip for hangover - free boozing.

Drink your own bodyweight in VODKA (mixed with tonic and, CRUCIALLY interspersed with pints of water) - et voila; no hangover. Fucking awesome.

:unsure:  You ARE aware that we have an excuse for doing something like this, aren't you kinki?. We miss our Serb-fellow, you see.

 

;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Care to explain Avaunt? Serb fella? Sorry my brain's gone bye byes for the night.

Heh.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Funny.

Nothing beats the feeling of coming home and seeing your package on the porch.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Except sitting down with a cuppa and opening the package. Hmmmm...yeah.

Speaking of John Higgins,his John reminds me of Roger Moore(sometimes).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes I know what you mean - and that is not how I like to think of John. Yuk.

Hear, hear :D

 

Now, how about everybody just agrees to call them "picture-books", and have done with it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

For what it's worth (and I know absolutely nowt compared to you guys) as long as we all like em what does it matter what we call em? Picture books, graphic novels, comics, whatever.

Oh, and in a slightly squiffy state I've just ordered loads of Hellblazers off of Amazon and Ebay. That is a very satisfying feeling. Life cant get much better at this precise moment.

the only people who can put up with my shite happen to be completely mentally unstable. Which means either I have to put up with abuse or live my life alone. One is probably far more horrible than the other, but it's up to the person to decide which, eh?

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This is my quandary (sp? cant be arsed to check) these days. I've nearly reached 40 and no bloke has come close to relating to and understanding my warped version of the world - only my best friend who's known me since the age of 11 and I dont fancy her. This depresses me only as far as it would be nice to share my fucked up world with someone. Beyond that I dont give a shite.

So it's easier to be alone and weird than put up with endless normal-dom in a mediocre relationship just to fit in..

(ignore me it's the wine talking)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love that line!! Sometimes only the 'C' word will do.

Actually, I elected not to hit the Jack Daniel's. The wine buzz was so plesant and mellow, and I figured whiskey would ruin it.

 

At least wine isn't as bad as champagne. Talk about a mule kick to the head.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The Jack Daniels effect is instant, hard, and dirrrrty. Oh yes.

Wine caresses yer mind but the after effects are like a kick in the head.

Champers (for me anyhow) gives the most fabulous all round loveliness in the drunk as fuck department (on the rare occasions I've been arseholed on it)

I am slightly tipsy on 'Old Git' as I write - in training for imminent wine-soaked weekend.

P.S. Kinki, that avatar is hilarious.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks, it's amazing what the combination of photoshop, boredom, and half and hour can achieve. Ha ha ha ha!

kinki, you're not as alone as you think you are. I was 29 when I had my GN revelation, and I've met quite a few readers (especially female readers) who were as old or older when they first discovered the medium.

 

One of us! One of us! One of us!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's good to know - sometimes you dont half feel out of your depth surrounded by all these knowledgable blokes wot know everything about comic-book culture!!LOL.

But then they've probably been reading em since they were like 2 or something.

Ow.

 

Wine hangovers really suck. I think next time I'll stick to paint thinner and brass polish.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Eeeessh you're right about wine hangovers. I am about to go to the Whitby Gothic Weekend with a big wine drinking mate of mine - I doubt I will be in a fit state to post again until at least a week on Monday.

Finite. One print run and they're done.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

On the face of it this seems short sighted... *sulks*

But then presumably they all get reprinted as 'trade' paperbacks, right?

Incidentally (cant be arsed looking through forum - sorry!) what happens between #180 and #200ish? Are they grouped into one or more headings yet? Or is it better to look for them as single issues?

none of my local comic shops have been stocking enough copies of the last 6 issues to have any left over. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This sounds worrying. Do Vertigo not do regular reprints for those of use who want to keep buying? Or is the world's supply of Hellblazer monthly issues finite? I bloody hope not.
