Comics UK

Does anybody here index comics on thr GCD? They had an upgrade last week and I now find the site unrecognisable with its new format. I'm wondering if it's actually my tablet not processing it properly but my mobile phone shows the same layout. I'm also unable to find the home page. It's almost like ...

I noticed Pukka now does a cheeseburger pie, I'm not tempted to try it.

To be honest my one peeve with minced beef pies is bits of gristle which turns my stomach so I'm tempted to try a veggie pie. Actually when I used Cooke's pie and mash shop in the Cut at Waterloo in the 70s they used soya mince in their pies and they tasted just as nice. I now buy vegan frozen sausa...

Yes they do fruit pies with custard as well and have lots of tourist customers asking "what's that green stuff?" One drawback with Goddards is the mash is served using ice cream scoops whereas traditionally it should be scraped onto the plate with a spatula.

Fray Bentos steak pie (I don't like kidneys)

They didn't show the final episode which was the Monkees playing a live gig. Nice to see Julie "Catwoman" Newmar in one of the later episodes.

My local Manzes in Deptford High Street closed at the end of January after more than 100 years. I'll now have to use Goddards in nearby Greenwich. But the 199 bus goes from my door to their door.

I'm seeing them for the first time, didn't bother first time round. I thought the Silurians story was too long and could have been done in five rather than seven episodes. Surprised at how much was spent on these episodes. I imagined it was all wobbly sets and painted egg boxes for decor but there a...

I only have freeview and U&Eden is a recent addition to the service. I always thought it was a nature/environment channel.

I noticed today that U&Eden has started showing Doctor Who. They started with all four episodes of Spearhead From Space and it continues all week with other Pertwee stories. They show a whole story in the morning then repeated early evening and early hours.

Some quite dark stories in Tammy. and No Time for Pat in the Jinty Annual.

My usual visit to Deptford flea market yesterday. For a mere Lady Godiva I picked up Judy no.1188 dated 16.10.82, Tammy 16.5.81, 30.10.82 x2, 6.11.82, 13.11.82, 20.11.82 and 27.11.82 plus Jinty Annual 1980 and Bunty Book 1999. I bought them just to index onto GCD. My niece has two school age daughte...

Rewind is showing Please Sir! from next Thursday. Starting with the first black-and-white episode. It was in Look-In so comic related.

I watched it first time round and am pretty sure it was never repeated. Looking forward to seeing it again. Having the surname Mitchell my mates quickly called me Mitch Monk after the Monkey called Mitch in the series. I tried to convince them it was called Match due to the boy's accent when calling...

I would have thought they could issue Oor Wullie/Broons style softcover annuals of Desperate Dan, Lord Snooty volumes by Watkins, Dennis and Beryl volumes by David Law and perhaps Bill Holroyd Screwy Driver volumes.
