I could hardly believe my eyes… Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson are reprinting Dragon Warriors in a hardback volume under the Mongoose Publishing Flaming Cobra imprint. Originally published in the 80s in six separate paperback volumes, Dragon Warriors rode the wave of the popularity of Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf, bringing fantasy adventures to the shelves…
Sad news indeed on the death of Don S. Davis, who played General Hammond, in Stargate, and Major Briggs, in Twin Peaks. He had a great presence on camera and played some solid, long-running characters. Only last week I read an article about the longevity of ‘Peaks’ as a classic weirdness – and the writer…
Why, oh why did this make me giggle so much? What could it have been? Might it have simply have been the sight of sour-faced old Paxman who really does ask for this sort of thing… cheer up man, it’s not the end of the world. (Amusing page layout provided courtesy of the TV Guide)
I have spent the last few months progressing with the paintwork on a Necron army (for Warhammer 40K). The army is my sons; but, I have been painting miniatures for a looooong time, so I wanted to take the opportunity to pass on some knowledge. So, I had set him to filing and gluing duties…

The Trickster was the excellent villain from the ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ episode ‘Whatever Happened…
I’m in the mood for t-shirts… so, I’ve taken the plunge and opened my own Cafepress store, with fine apparel and the odd mug here and there. After recreating my Doctor Who ‘Blink‘ tribute, I’ve now added a nod to the discerning ornithologist who does like the gannet, the nut hatch, or the robin.
