You guys often have stuff that Forbidden Planet don't, and often cheaper. But sometimes the pricing in your shop desn't make any sense! I got Marvel Civil War for about 15, and was looking at an Astonishing X-Men book that was half the size of Civil War and cost 22! Maybe it was cos it was written by Joss Whedon...

Not me then, I was in a taxi

Indeed, I received a final demand for outstanding council tax on a flat I had 3 years ago, which I've already paid. It's only 60 but it's 60 I've already paid! Cue lengthy debate in that horrible Crown Street office, and I'll probably get the same bill through again in six month's time...argh! I like that the Council are moving into Marischal College though, fitting, seeing as it's essentially an evil scarey castle...

Pish, pish, pish.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Movie Fast Tracked?!?! Bryan Singer Confirmed On-board!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. How is this ever goping to approach the sheer and incredible awesomeness of the Ron Moore series? Isn't it just going to completely confuse people? o_O Personally I'd waaaay rather see Singer make the X-Men: First Class movie...

Saw The Hangover over the weekend - nae bad, wasn't the side-splitting, best-comedy-of-all-time it'd been described to me as, but had a few decent laughs in...

I've had this for ages and not watched it yet....will endevour to remedy this.

Tonight STAR WARS fans!

Amy (my woman) has done Kafdo (and maybe a bit of SCS) with Flash and John before, but I guess we could take a look at what else is out there...

Is SCS still on a Thursday night? Me and Amy were thinking of doing something like this (she wants to get back into it and I want to get fit), but Thursday through Monday are bad evenings for us to try and do anything regularly...

I only put the Guardian link up because the BBC is blocked at my work. Most news outlets have been reporting this in a similiar way - including BBC radio. 'spose the BBC are a bunch pinko leftie hippies too though....

Aye right enough. Still see Mark a fair bit too, in Moshulu. (When it was still open)

Luke. I still see him occasionally dotting about King Street. He still has his little padawan rats-tail.

HI-larious... 'Evil and Orwellian' America's right turns its fire on NHS | World news | The Guardian

Check this out Sharon, all you need to know: Rhythms of Darkness! - Transformers Wiki - Transformers 2, Animated, Toys! EDIT: You can kinda see him at the back there...

I'll do some research. Most of my comics from my age of 5-13 years are at my parent's house.

WaaaaH! This weekend - awesome. It took every ounce of will power I possess not to stream it off some dodgey website...

I have a few British printings of the Gen 1 Marvel stuff (which are probably older than most of the people that post here), one came with a free animal bar! I'd stick to anything Marvel and written by Simon Furman. (EDIT: When it comes to Transformers books that is, his Gen 2 stiuff is alright too, but I only have the first few issues)

Do you mean the new Batman and Robin Morrison/Quietly series? It's awesome. Damien Wayne is such a little arsehole.

That's balls, it don't happen. Believe me, I've checked....

Double secret agreed! Belluci is tha bomb The Bacardi Breezer advert at the start of the second film had me laughing out loud in the cinema. The Matrix sequels are one of the largest cinematic disappointments of my life. Absolute bollocks. I went to the cinema 6 times to see the first one, didn't even bother with the third....
