it is november. we got up to The Illusion of Truth.

i seem to have bought an awful lot of X-Men trades (mostly 2004 a stuff and after, House of M, Decimation and stuff). worse: i am now buying four actual comic books! (eternals [by gaiman], 1602: fantastick four [which is a spin-off of gaiman's rather good 1602, following the fantastick four, written by peter david], phoenix: warsong [which is not a jean grey ressurection story], and ultimate power [which is a rather silly crossover between ultimate universe and joe's new supremeverse]). but all of these are limited series. so that's ok. please shoot me if i start buying X-Treme X-Men.

you probably don't remember my glee at having recieved my first electricity bill. well, on Tuesday I recieved my first water bill. No. Really. It covers year from August 2005!

oh, and to ask a random question: since it has come up on wikipedia: where would you say, without consulting a map, is the eastern border of the town of middlesbrough?

and then, consulting the border (dashed blue line), does this surprise you?

Ah but Middlesbrough is now known more as 'Teeside' thus enabling it to stretch itself out and amble across the North East engulfing small villages in it's wake.

aye; but we have someone basically claiming that if you were to claim to people that Eston, Normanby, Grangetown and South Bank aren't actually in Middlesbrough (but in Redcar & Cleveland), people from Teesside will look at you strangely. (he'd then gone and edited lots of articles in accorance with this kind of Greater Middlesbrough Empire viewpoint, even claiming that Port Clarence is in Middlesbrough, when it's on the wrong side of the Tees!)

not quite sure whether to believe him or not.
