…I feel another zany adventure coming on!
EDIT: Did I mention that the first panel cracks me up every time I look at it. Utter genius by German, muchos muchos…er..laugh..erm..os..
Poor Kath, she never gets a break. I’m wondering how she ever gets any work done with her talent for being kidnapped at every possible opportunity. I guess it comes with the job. Robert Fisk never had this kind of trouble, then again during the recent protests in Iran, when every reporter and news organisation was heading for the hills due to the apparent clampdown on foriegn press, ol’ Robbie Fisk of the UK Independent roamed around Tehran (complete with his trademark scowl and ability to condemn a yak from 50 yards) at will. He never got lifted.
Anyway, my apologies for the delay for yet again I was late coming back from work. Nightshifts can be a killer but such is life. At least the weather is good.
On a lighter note, Alex is off to Indonesia today so lets all wish her a safe journey and a happy holiday swimming with sharks and manta rays (actually, stay away from the rays, yo).

…not much you can say to that, eh?
Well page 30 commeth with another 12 in this issue to go and another 20 until the big 5 – 0 commeth. Not really much to report this week although if I do have any thoughts, they’ll be noted down in the new FORUMS where I post extra thoughts I’ve had about the page for you to read and comment on! There isn’t much there yet but check it out 
Oh while we’re at it, go back a page to see the guest art produced by Amy and Tracy Stacy Macey Dave NANCY from o31.net because it looks SUPERB! GO SEE IT! NOW!
Oh Alan! If only you had stopped off at your local BP and filled up! Could have picked up a copy of the Telegraph and a pork pie while you were at it as well. It is a long journey after all. It might be wise to say at this point that the views contained in this comic are not those of the author. If you detect some sort of bias then take that as you want but I reccomend that if you do take it, you take it with a good pinch of salt. What this page does throw up is an interesting question about traditional religious education regardless of the creed. My view is that if controlled correctly, religious schools be they Christian, Islamic or Jewish can be a moderate force for good.
I will make the point to those all too willing to start ranting about Madrassa being schools of extremism is that one reason why Ireland has had such a fractured and tortured couple of recent centuries has been the embedding of sectarianism and extremism into society by forcing children to go to school on the lines of their religion and not on the basis of ability. Religious schools are probably the worst thing to happen to Northern Ireland and the best way of killing sectarianism and extremism in my mind is to bring them under heavy restrictions and supervision. If that means familes there have to hold their noses and send their kids to a secular school rather than to their precious Catholic or Protestant schools then they should learn to share and play nice.
Well, while Kathy stews and Alan flails around at this debacle, I’m here to tell you that the last few days have been pretty busy and on the whole pretty good for me. I’m in good health, England are on top in the 2nd test and I enjoyed cocktails on Friday night with Alex. Splendid stuff I must say. But, a new week in this lovely summer heralds one thing and one thing only: a new page for Hard Graft!
As you might have noticed, Issue two is progressing rather well but as always, if you have any questions and comments, please please send them in.
