Re: Champ Comic 1984-85 'We Are United'
Several years ago, if I remember correctly, there was a fairly lengthy series of posts about 'We Are United' on this very platform. However, I don't seem to recall anyone commenting on its writers at that time, but I may be wrong.

Re: What comics did you buy today?
I should think so!! There's neither reason nor justification for allowing yourself to be ripped off by greedy chancers, Steve.

Re: Jumping Frog
Memory didn't serve me too well in my last post. Probably due to his not having a particularly strong grasp of English, Pancho always said, "Lez went, Cisco!".

Re: Jumping Frog
As a youngster, one of my favourite TV series was 'The Cisco Kid'. It starred Duncan Renaldo as Cisco and Leo Carrillo as his sidekick, Pancho. Pancho was such a coward, and virtually at the end of every story, when the going was getting tough, he would whine, "Lez Go, Cisco!!"

Re: Some help with a Princess magazine
Just as an addendum on this thread, a simple Google search has revealed that Evonne Goolagong Cawley MBE (1972) was born in 1951 and was still alive on 27 June 2020. There is no contact number unfortunately but a bit more in-depth research by doddyf3 might reveal one.

Re: Some help with a Princess magazine
As far as I can tell, there were only two DCT tennis-themed serials that might possibly have been an influence on Evonne Goolagong (Cawley after she married). The first is 'Wendy The Tennis Wonder', which appeared in BUNTY in 1959/60, but the tennis player, Wendy Woods, is a schoolgirl. The other is...

Re: Roy of the Rovers coming back?
When Roy Race first came to our notice, and to that of Alf Leeds, a talent scout for Melchester Rovers, he was playing for Milston Youth Club F.C. He would therefore be about 15 or 16 years old in that first instalment of 'Roy Of The Rovers'. By my reckoning he will now be about 80. Are we really go...

Re: Question about Rover free gifts
The 'Round Robin Spinner' was given away with issue 1704 of The ROVER (22 February 1958 - not 20 February as you assert, babington). Why did you choose to part company with your copy of my 'Free Gifts In The Big Five'? I have just one left for sale out of the 250 that D.C. Thomsons printed for me, s...

Re: Not just any old East London pie and mash shop
I wouldn't have thought, Steve, that pie, mash, and liquor covered with cold turkey would have been particularly tasty!!!!! Still, as my dad used to say, "There's no accounting for taste".

I have to agree with your last sentence, Steve, as most people would make a bad situation worse.

His girls may be interested too.
Which girls are those, Steve? I only have two sons, no daughters. My son, Andrew, has two daughters, Aurora and Kelsey, my son, Russell, has one, Lois.

Re: Phoenix's Future Plans
I did watch that first episode of Enid Blyton's 'Malory Towers' series, Steve. The first title in her series was First Term At Malory Towers , which was published in 1946. As it is a long time since I last read that novel, or the series for that matter, I can't be sure how close yesterday's opening ...

Re: What comics DIDN'T you buy today?
The reason that the free gifts given with THE NEW HOTSPUR and THE HORNET did not appear in my 'FREE GIFTS IN THE BIG FIVE' . Steve, is because neither of those titles is one of THE BIG FIVE , which comprised ADVENTURE , THE ROVER , THE WIZARD , THE HOTSPUR and THE SKIPPER , all of which were essenti...
