A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)
That would take too much paper and too long a bow, CJ - I couldn't possibly put you to such expense. Besides, I happen to know that Miss Widdecombe has a pash on YOU, so you keep her.
Duskier maiden? Surely that's colour prejudice? Down with racism.
Don't miss this week's and next week's episodes of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Kid, because they are Tim Brooke-Taylor's final appearance on the show. The end of an era.
And for me another end of an era has come. As you know, Kid, my first ever Marvel comic was POTA #5 which I bought from a kiosk selling newspapers and magazines at the town's bus station. That kiosk has survived through the decades but no more! A brand new bus station is being built in another part of town and the old bus station complex, including the kiosk, will be demolished (the kiosk is part of a building which houses the bus station's HQ). So the place where I first discovered Marvel comics will soon be just a memory.
But if I took a photo, Kid, I wouldn't get a memory of the kiosk only the steel shutter with graffiti on it which now completely covers the kiosk from top to bottom. As you say it's part of my history and I won't forget it.

I'd considered sending you Anne Widdecombe all wrapped up in festive paper tied with a bow :D
But this Friday was Black Friday so surely a duskier maiden would have been more appropriate?

Indeed. Don't you worry, CJ, I always try not to miss it anyway, but I'll make a special effort not to tonight and next week.

I hate it when that happens. Do me a favour, CJ - go and take a couple of photos of the place and capture a bit of your history. Go on - promise.
