Great location. Who was playing? Stryper? Glam metal isn't Andrew's bag.

Saw X-Men Days Of Future Past on Tuesday at the IMAX cinema in Waterloo. Better than First Class, and possibly any other X-Men movie, apart maybe from X2.

That may have been too much for our lovely Mods. A wise move. Those cards were funny though.

I noticed you left out the photo with all those wacky greeting cards.

Clocks are big!!!!

Great cover! And the real first appearance of WWBN.

Good old Spizz.

That'll certainly do.

Time for a shot of whiskey. Post your favourite drinking songs, if you have any.

Great footage. It's odd looking at interviews with the King, especially from that era, when he was sort of out in the cold - he hadn't been rehabilitated by fandom at that point as the greatest comic creator in history. One thing is noticeable - he's a quiet, fairly introverted man in that clip, very much the opposite of the garrulous Mr. Lee. He wasn't given all that much airtime to be fair - the format of the segment ( the usual relentless biff! bang! pow! bollocks) being somewhat belittling. Anyone notice that they referred to The Clash (and Kirby) as being on the fringes of pop culture? How dare they!!!!

I haven't seen a teddy boy on the streets of London since the early '80s. Or rockabillies, psychobillies, mods, and rockers. I rarely, if ever, see any punks, skins, goths, etc. on my city's streets anymore either - must be at least a decade, although there are occasionally the odd goth types lurking around Camden market. But it's very unusual. You go to gigs these days, everyone dresses roughly the same. Do I miss the days of tribal London, the seedy rundown hellhole of the late ' 70s? Not really.

Hey Kevin!

How do, squire?

Afternoon, me old china.

There is a whole week of footie on ! Currently watching Peterborough V Leyton Orient League 1 Semi Leg 1 Oh yeah, the play-offs and the FA Cup final. Still three weeks though. ...then the world cup in June then pre-season and then the EPL all over again... That's what I meant...

The final day of the EPL tomorrow - then a whole month without football!!!

I can always count on you captain. That is why you are not Rear Admiral! That's a promotion I can do without.

Juist picked up the Clutching Hand one shot from one of Karl's threads - the book shipped the same day I won it, and arrived three days later (from Canada to England!). Unbeatable service, great book!
