Loved your comment about Picall .. um, Piccalli .. Picka .. Branston, as it reminded me of the shopping list I was always required to buy before visiting my brother when he lived in NW France. In a complete volte-face, he's now back residing in Cheshire and has a list of items he requires of any family member holidaying in France! Last time I came home with 12 tins of something odd'n'fishy that he swears is only eaten in Brittany.

(well, nearly evening now)<BR/><BR/>I know that Japan is famous for manga, but unless you come here and see it for yourself it's hard to imagine just how all-pervasive it really is. it is EVERYWHERE! There is a manga for every conceivable hobby or interest (the dodgy ahem...adult themed ones, whilst being popular are but a drop in the ocean). like fishing? - read fishing manga. Quite enjoy the delights of fine wines?? - read wine-tasting themed manga. Literally everything!<BR/><BR/>I have to admit to reading a bit when I find a good one. <BR/>Current favourites are "Beck", which is a manga about a kid who has an indie rock band and gets to play Glastonbury! <BR/><BR/>http://www.beck.ne.jp/chara.html<BR/><BR/>...and "Detroit Metal City" (just been made into a film) about a indie boy who's real love is Swedish twee-pop but who has inadvertently found himself the lead singer of a satanic death metal band!!

And treat yourself to a Viz subscription. I think I will - great to have it delivered. Although it tends to be my treat when I'm waiting around in airports and helps pass the time.

It says:"My house was burned down by hooligans. She said." The other features a naked headless drummer behind his kit.<BR/>Shrigley did a fabulously weird video for Blur's Good Song. I especially like the leafblower which temporarily blots out the music.<BR/>http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ACBSR1Hvrps<BR/>I loved Viz too and am now tempted to start buying it again: fancy my read copies FP, once I'm done? Saddled with my "council estate chic" name, the Fat Slags were the bane of my life for a while, but I thought The Modern Parents were wonderful, as was Victorian Dad.<BR/>The Japanese, of course, share the same attitude towards comics as the French and Italians, so I felt quite at home there. one of my favourite possessions is one of the original pages of The Sandman (not, alas, hand-drwan, but the ones used by Danny Vozzo to add in the colours), a key moment from just after Morpheus sacrifices himself, showing his empty throne. I'd just about kill for an original panel from Jaime Hernandez, especially if it showed mid-period Maggie from Love and Rockets. I cannot go on enough about what a rich and believeable world he has created in this.
