Who's next... Geordies? Cockneys? Greggys.

Morning, fellow emancipated Cornishers. Friday is scrumpy day.

Love that cover +1. Great copy.

Not sure about the motivation behind the campaign as apparently no money is involved. The Cornish want to be referred to as Celtic, even though no-one there speaks the language anymore.

Could be, but that was the figure bandied about in all the papers.

Almost entirely. The Ghostly Weird and Hangman issues that have been mentioned are very scarce - I've never seen either of those books, and during the two decades of dealing that I did, not once did I see anything like them, even when the collection contained Miller and Class books, or Marvelman.

Lots of confusion abounds here when talking about UK editions. Do you mean a) A US comic produced and priced (Pence) for the UK market b) A UK comic produced and priced (Pence) for the UK market These are two totally different things and lots of people are confused by the difference. Just to clarify further, as far as GA comics are concerned, there are extremely few examples of A) as U.S. comics were not distributed in the U.K. until November 1959. And as far as B) is concerned, the black and white reprints that were produced exclusively for the U.K. market (mainly by L. Miller and Alan Class) that contained GA material have a very small fanbase, even in the U.K. Some of the reprints have the same covers and interiors as their U.S. counterparts, but not many. Hard to provide a proper rule of pricing for these books due to their being relatively few of them and the limited demand. The pence / cents conundrum is very much a Silver and Bronze Age thing. Thanks Andy, I tried to write something similar but deleted it as it didnt make much sense, unless you knew what I was talking about. You put it so much better than I could

The woes of despondent Man U fans must take precedence. its kind of a relief, we needed a manager who could guarantee success Mourinho would have been ideal, he demands performances and isn't scared to make big decisions Moyes wasn't in charge of Man Utd the last year, the players were You'll get Paul Lambert next. It's the manager-go-round. Spurs are due Allardyce, apparently.

Man U sacked Moyes for financial reasons - if they had come 4th, Moyes would've been entitled to all six years salary of his contract upon dismissal - as he failed to get a UCL berth, he's only getting this season's paycheck - a measly £4.5 million. So no need to get too concerned about Moyes's welfare. You could buy several nice Detective 27s with that lolly.

They need a kick up their collective backside.

Meanwhile, it's another fabulous day in Britland.

What this season has shown is that none of the top clubs in the EPL are that good...if the right guy steps in at Old Trafford next season and flashes enough cash at the right players, they'll be back in contention.

Nowt. Sprout. Harry Grout.

Nowt.

Indeed.
