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.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The Ukraine situation is reaching a worrying level of brinkmanshp.
The Winter Olympics are underway in Beijing.
In a rather more heartwarming tale of football than I usually find, when big-name team Crystal Palace played opposite significantly less influential Hartlepool, the Crystal Palace team paid for nearly 5000 Hartlepool fans to come down and cheer their team on, AND raised over 70000 pounds for the Hartlepool manager's wife's chemnotherapy treatment.
No time for more from me at the moment, but away you go.
