In 2005, UK radio listeners were polled and asked to combine any British rock musicians into a fantasy supergroup. The best guitarist went to Jimmy Page, bassist to John Paul Jones, drummer to John Bonham, and singer to Robert Plant, which makes the line-up of Led Zeppelin.

Word of the Day: GRANFALLOON (coined by Kurt Vonnegut) - a proud and meaningless association of human beings.

@grumpyandrew ha!

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance.

The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year.

In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person

£14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit

If you can't afford that you are dying

@IANdrewDiceClay Yeah, that whole ‘Heenan shouldn’t have said *that* line’ is nonsense. Heenan hated Hogan and thought he was a snake. They treat Heenan as though he’s some kind of best friends with viewer, smoking a blunt on the settee.

It’s strange all these 60’s cultural personalities dying. You read the tributes from contemporaries, with whom you just supposed had one big party and knew each other well, and they’re just ‘He was a person’.

Excellent news. Well done, John!

@StazJohnson @mrtonylee @IronMaiden This is unbelievable style.

[IandrewDiceClay @IANdrewDiceClay]

Such a good book. Unlike anything you'll see. Some of the long form interviews amazing, with people who you maybe didnt know existed until now.

[Yellowblam @ComicsRob]

I thought Al Ewing was untouchable. I just read the #JudgeDredd story ‘Served Cold’ and it was a little bit boring. Maybe he isn’t suited to the more longer form Dredd’s.

@IANdrewDiceClay Wasn’t that where the name ‘The Game’ come from tho. He was studying the old NWA tapes or something?
