It's a baby, glad he was born safe and of course innocent of all the 'fuss' into the world. I managed to avoid all the 'fuss' by not buying magazines/newspapers peddling speculation about the unborn child. I didn't keep up but I don't think the parents did that much to encourage anything. The 'zines, the 'loids and the 'sheets bruited it up all by themselves. F****** baby? In the gentlest way Sue, maybe a touch harsh?

I'm sticking a tenner on 'Kwame' as the name got to be 10000 - 1 minimum - a punt of course, but you never know.

"They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now". - Bob Monkhouse. A one-liner of course but I think it deserves inclusion as a great quote and if it doesn't sum up the dilemma/agony of the stand up life then I'm that Stewart Leigh.

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years" - Mark Twain Picked this up(well obviously, more like reminded of it) on a toilet wall in my place of work.

(Seeing You With) My Brother - Trenton Comfort

Estate 'agents', this, 'n spurious McD's (as we kids refer to it), that, KFC the other and something else whatever else. Any thread concerning estate 'agents' turns the forum into a Larkinesque This Be The Verse They fuck you up, Golden Property Services. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the Foxtons they had And add some Pedder, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By Fish Needs Water/Truepennys, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at Ludlow Thompson?s throats. Acorn hands on misery to man. It deepens like a Hindwoods 'rep'. Get out as early as you can, And don?t have any Roy Brooks yourself. Now, how much of a downer? VERY, that's how b@stard much, so let's less it as far as estate agents are concerned. Really. For future reference when a store becomes available, WIMPY bar, as first choice, completely uncontroversial as far as I'm concerned. That half-pounder, mmmm. Plus cutlery, metal and all, last time I looked. Second, a late night opening Nando's, drink has been taken, chicken, spice, chips. perfect. Third Burger King, tied fourth KFC and McDonalds. I simply can't see anyone NOT loving the latter proposals, why you'd have to be a bit 'Radio Rental' or hopped-up on goofballs to challenge them, surely. Surely?

The last post concerning my favourites, and I haven't looked this one up yet. I like seeing if my memories are true. The one where the the first panel is Susie Derkins side view at her school desk, pencil in hand, obviously completing a test. The strip commences where in desperation it seems Suzie half turns in her chair and asks whoever is behind knows the name of a large, old city in Poland. 'KRAKOW' comes the seemingly loud reply from behind Susie, and she turns back to her paper. The final panel shows Calvin, turned backward in his chair, oblivious to all else, his fingers formed into a classic kid gun shape mouthing/saying the words/sound effects -'KRAKOW KRAKOW KRAKOW' Right that's it, going to stop describing my favourites on here, it'll get tedious and I can do that easily enough on my own without involving a cartoonist/contrarian of genius. It's what Spaceman Spiff would do. I reckon the summer just got longer.

What with the fackin', feckin' an' fockin' I don't know if it's Eastenders, Father Ted or whatever TV program, if any uses the word fockin'. I'm that confused. As for irony, if used you have to steel yourself for the slinging of arrows. It's outrageous, I know but fortunately it's over soon enough.

Thanks StraferJ, of course. I'm impressed with my recall of the details of the drawing. The actual caption of "Geez I gotta have a REASON for everything" shifts the emphasis, makes it a far better joke without my spurious 'now' and of course because of that a more serviceable and long-lasting life philosophy. Thanks again. This is quite the find, I'll be sharing this with my son, he was introduced by a maternal aunt at a fairly young age and just got it and loved it straight away. He pronounced Hobbes 'Hoe-bees' at first and we'd have great fun with each new compilation. Marvelous stuff. DIE MUTANT SNOW GOONS DIE!!!!!!!

Five Minutes - The Stranglers

Eeh, Michael I've known people die of shame, before they succumbed to the, you know, C-A-N-C-E-R. I don't know if it's coincidental, but the spreads after t' services were gorgeous on both occasions, RED salmon sandwiches and proper Markses profiteroles. Almost made us forget t' tragic circumstances of the events.

Let joy be unconfined. Got I think most/all of the books but simply can't put my mitts on them. One day 'spare' room, one day. Attack Of The Mutant Killer Snow Goons - I think that's the correct title, superb. But at risk of boring people (I've mentioned it before), my favourite is the single long panel, featuring from left Calvin's parents in night attire, bleary-eyed and bed-headed, standing at the open door of Calvin's bedroom, their son sitting up in his bed, an unanimated Hobbes by his side, a drum in front of him with a drumstick in one hand and a toy trumpet in the other, with the indignant Calvin yelling, Jeez, I've got to have a REASON for everything now!!! Great joke, and I've found it a servicable enough life philosophy.

The 'gentleman' tasked with the responsibility of driving the vehicle that took me on the first part of my journey to my place of work this morning. He managed to deliver me. In fair condition, other passengers, notwithstanding, certainly in one piece. But was it necessary for him to have his shirt unbuttoned to the extent one could almost discern with what he'd broken his fast? I hurried from the conveyance, distrait at his seeming disregard for any bus company dress code. But at the same time highly and I have to say strangely appreciative of his 'ABS'. Was it just me? It was a 343.

Though the one CS posted was also familiar. I reckon many copies of both found their way back from Clacton to various neighbours/relatives, whether they wanted them or not.

We're none of us expecting sweeties through our doors and it's London and some of us have maybe read a Mark Billingham or Ian Rankin novel too many, so... But more seriously no 'sorry' required at all, as far as I'm concerned, a lovely gesture, I hope you keep making them. Hope your 18th went well. Best wishes

I like Malkmus well enough, but this is my fave pirate song. Got the lot, spiky riffage, YO HO HOs, a gay interlude and of course THE TOMAHAWK KID! All be well, so it be.

Thanks for that CS, just what I was after. A stiff one from the cabinet and a good scrub and I'll be ready for my head to hit the pillows. Cheers.
