icon_ukIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
One way or another, the Western armed forces withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years is complete. Now we have to see what happens next.
Hoping no members, family or friends were badly impacted by Hurricane Ida in Louisiana.
On the up side, there is now no country in the world using leaded fuel.
In a move so breathtakingly hypocritical that it boggles the mind, the Daily Mail (the right wing "newspaper" wikipedia won't allow to be cited a news source) has suggested that the UK should unite with the EU to remove the bureacracy at the borders post Brexit. Gee, if only we had had something like that in place, some sort of, I dunno, Europe based economic union or the like.
Apparently Lil Nas X is apparently slightly disturbed by skateboarder Tony Hawks selling skateboard infused with his own blood, following controversy over Nike selling HIS shoes with a drop of blood in the soles.. Yes, that is definitely a sentence I just typed, and now I have, I can purge it from my memory, and it leave it to any vampire foot fetishists to sort out.
I suspect this is not related to Nike's decision to give all their Head Office staff a week's leave to support their mental health, but who can tell.
Random question: What TV series from your childhood would you want to see rebooted/brought back for a new generation?
