  1. Ah, simple pleasures, ruined by Photon. You can't beat it Now, on a separate note, how is it that you can say bollocks without manual manipulation but I can't say Dick unless I use sleight of hand? Ken, you seem like a very reasonable, nuanced man. As such, you may wish to avail yourself of the content of my Change Request here: As a man of taste and deportment I feel sure that you will pick up the baton and join me in my crusade to correct the inexplicable suppression of Dicks from these boards. Join me in the fight Ken, join me!
  2. Sorry FB. I wanted to show my appreciation of your post using the designated new boards appreciation tool but, even though in England I've just got up and it's my 'first of the day', computer says 'no':
  3. I have, but I'm afraid I can only condone one of those key life components
  4. Squeeze?Really?That's some argybargy.. Sorry, I can't continue this conversation Spike. Mummy said never take Sweets From A Stranger
  5. Same here Spike. It took hard work and dedication to build up my 100+ Squeeze singles. Especially the imports. Now, they're all over ebay in multiples. Ebay has killed 'proper' collecting. FU ebay! ?
  6. I miss all that Ken. Everything is so easy today. One click on ebay and it's done. I remember catalogues. Comics, books, records. Posting off your list, enclosing a cheque or postal order. Long waits, then they arrive. What a thrill. This will sound silly now, but I remember struggling to get ASM 179 for the longest time. Then, all of a sudden, I got it from a catalogue. It arrived pristine. Heaven. Now, I could buy 100 copies in the next hour without getting out of my chair. Not much is actually rare or hard to get anymore. Simple pleasures have been lost on so many fronts. And there is no striving. No hunting. No recording. Just click, buy, receive. It's a soulless age and I for one lament the passing of that world I loved. That's why I persist with the London Fair. It died some time back, but is still the only thing I can go to that is in any way close to my old collecting life. Things change, but rarely I feel for the better. New comics aren't great for the most part. Variants are killing the collectors. Old comics are becoming prohibitively expensive. It's difficult to feel positive about anything. Bang! ?
  7. You've confused John Morlar with Harold Pelham @kav ! Play properly! ?
  8. Well get stuffed then. Ah ha ha ha haaa. ?
  9. Two! Two people get the hand model thing, ah ha ha ha haaa. ?
  10. Hold fire gunner @kav. Ditko and me have got previous and I know already that his response will be something along the lines of "put it up your pipe".
  11. Ha! I do like words made into one liz. My favourite (with a u) is 'mungry' as in 'I'm hungry'. Which reminds me, mungry ?????????
  12. Why limit it to fandom though? Avoid everyone, that's what I say.
  13. Not sure if this will make sense to anyone but is the girl Ditko's hand model?
  14. Morlar by Night Competition Here's another competition to the lighten your dull and dismal days readers. Last Saturday, I posted the conclusion of the John Morlar Misery thread and signed it off with a little April Fools mucking aboutery. As usual, no one noticed Despite the disappointment, and being one to always turn a negative into a positive (ahem), I have decided to offer this grubby low grade Pence Variant copy of Werewolf By Night #32 to the person who, in my opinion, gives the best answer to the following question: "The Morlar Thread - WTF was that all about?" Now I'm opening my soul here folks, so play nicely. The winning entry will be the one that gets closest to the spirit of what I was attempting to convey. There are three elements to that, if it helps. Entries close next Saturday (15/04) at whatever time suits me. The winner gets this, free of charge / shipping: Life is short, times are hard, here's an attempt to have some fun and spread the love Good luck
  15. Do you know Ken, that's only the second photo of Arch I've ever seen?
  16. I want to buy them for huge discounts over there their USA equivalents inferiors 10 out of 12 aint bad liz Good enough for the girls I go with. Teeth or hairs?
