  • About half my memories of the 1990s are of watching TV shows. The X-Files, Space: Above and Beyond, Fortean TV, Friends, Frasier, American Gothic, Dark Skies, Babylon 5, Star Trek (TNG, DS9 – and had Voyager started by then?), The Adam & Joe Show, The Friday Night Armistice, Ellen, Caroline...

  • Hmm, my post rate’s really gone up as of late. No idea why. Normal service will probably resume in a few weeks. This has been lying around for a week and a bit now. Anyway, to business. I’ve been working away at the increasingly large pile of Necron stuff on my painting table…well,...
