I now DO own that one as well, but confidently expect to find something else, maybe in 2045!

Weirdly, a couple of years ago, I discovered that I STILL did not own the complete John Byrne Fantastic Four run, as he did an issue of "What If?" featuring them during the same period.

I don't remember huge chunks of some of these old blogs but I vividly remember finding that old Fantastic Four in Forbidden Planet, and being AMAZED that it existed!

Thanks once again to the wonderful Wayback Machine I've managed to track down the page full of 'This Is Not A Library' reviews. Rather rudely I didn't include people's names, so I'm not sure which one was John's, but you can see them all HERE:

And here's the recorded version of "City Centres" - as previously stated, NOT about how all city centres are the same, but about how they're actually different!

Meanwhile, on PLANET ROCK, we ended up recording BOTH of the songs mentioned here, and we even PLAYED "Girlfriend Alarmed" at a gig last month. Here's the recorded version, from "WE VALIDATE!"

Amazingly, my astonishment at there being MORE planets "past Pluto" reveals that, when I wrote this, Pluto WAS a planet. Now it's been reclassified as a "dwarf planet" and there are LOTS of other ones like Quaoar and Varuna too.

Aaah, so that's where I'll know it from! A mystery fully solved, ta!

Aha! Yes indeed, James Bond is a transmedia character network - lots of different versions of the same basic idea, all related to and reacting to each other, but not the same. Hence it's fine to have the same or similar M or Q from Bond to Bond without it meaning it's a single story.

I flipping loved Fuzztival, INDEED I loved ALL gigs promoted by Ms P Blackham, who was Ents officer in Sheffield at that time, and kept on booking me. Thanks Penny!

YES! Thanks Dave!!

Thanks, but annoyingly, not that one - it was the life story of somebody with a name like Jewel or something that had loads of sub-clauses in. Everyone was on about it a few (may be many) years ago!
