I've been planning on starting to read Tintin for the first time but have had trouble finding copies in book shops.


I now have had it confirmed by a source that Chener stock issues so I clearly didn't look very hard.


And I don't think there is anything particularly politically unpleasant about it is there?

I believe that there were some rather stereotypical portrayals of Africans and Jews in a couple of the books

The latter probably the dodgier especially given the time and what was going on. I'm inclined to think the former is just a cartoonish stereotyping, no worse than that seen in the Tarzan films of the time, but doubtless will get into hot water for saying so.


Chinless fops anyone?

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
