I liked the Dan Brown/Wight idea, funny story
Maybe an "Angels and Wights" sequel might follow soon

A candidate for Best Issue, Ever?

That's made me laugh a bit too much today.

Liking how Davem speaks in proper 'Yorkshire' saying 'thou' (this peculiar language also includes the words 'thee' 'thy' and 'thar', mua-ha-ha), even though he has glass in his eyes.

Liking that mad Anguirel picture. Hey, if I'm a DCI, can my car be like that really cool 70's Cortina as seen in Life On Mars? Please?

Liking the Da-Vem code! (wish I could crack that one - meh).

And Liking beyond all reasonable belief that a Tardis has materialised in my garden! I know I have a play one in my dining room, but a real one? In my own garden? That would be so awesome it would be beyond belief!

Wouldn't (moderated) Yorkshire dialect be 'I want a word wi' thee'?

I can deny it no longer! The control exerted by the outsized headgear of the Downs is indeed malign and diabolic! Behold how I am unable to keep my upper lip decently shaven, how my complexion has faded to the wraith-like grey of an Edwardian photograph, and how I can no longer take account of ninety years' development in men's fashion! Curse you, Hat-wights, for making me this way!

You can never get rid of them, you know. They get under your skin in a way, so that to cast them aside seems a great task. Eventually you come to love them, and to share them seems a kindness. Soon you too will join us.

Why? You fond of wearing Big Hats?

For your consideration...

The Downer Newspaper will be presenting some of the most insane things ever to grace a computer screen on May the first. To Celebrate the birth of The Barrow Downs. These will include:

- A special video about the Phantom and Alien
- Some shocking headlines
- A lemon
- And the first annual Orc beauty contest.

If you want to add your own events for the big day, PM me and we'll discuss it.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

I'd just like to categorically state that Alien isn't necessarily an alien. That's his name, 'Alien'. What is he? Pfft. Who cares?

Now the moment no one's been waiting for...

This week I had a bit of trouble with the quality for some reason... sorry.

This week, The Phantom spells it out...

I've been trying and trying to figure out a way to kill Alien. There's got to be a way!!

Ever try bug spray? I've heard it's excelllent at getting rid of pests.

As Hookbill already said earlier in the thread, in episode 11, Alien got shot in the head and he grew it back.
Bug spray wouldn't be too effective I guess.
