OK is FIVE years old. We’re celebrating our first five fabulous years on Thursday 24th April. We’re going to stay open late in the evening, hopefully giving people who may not have been in the shop for a while a chance to see what’s going on. (you know who you are) We will have FREE BEER. YOU ARE INVITED.
Awesome! Will you have a "This Is Your Life" type presentation about the shop? I remember walking past the little shop in the piss-smelling arcade not long after it opened, can't believe that was 5 years ago!
Wow! Five years old! I'm going to get a card with a bagde on and everything! Hope to make it and congratulations! Like Midnighter, I recall walking down the smelly wee arcade and noticing the startled reaction of jared as i did a double - take (a new comics shop?! run by the guy from forbidden planet who actually talked to the customers rather than chatting to other members of staff ?! Manna from Heaven!). Blimey, five years. I wish I had the hair I had then...sigh.
So...I'm confused. The top of this thread has the following item: FREE BEER. But this thing attracts no comment. This is a great, great thing. Yes, greater even than the piss-smelling arcade. So great that maybe we should focus on the booze-sans-cost and not on the admittedly fab arcade-de-wee? Just a thought...
And roll on another five. But you do realise that by making the anniversary public knowledge the wife now has a definite fixed date for how long I've been saying that I'll stop buying comics
Was that the lady who had a phone in the shape of The Mystery Van as well, she was right nice, gave me 100 issues of Nexus for the price of a cuppa! Aces!
My missus wants to know if fancy dress is on the agenda? In the shop, rather than in some weird and transgressive you and her affair type scenario, I think.
Why you no give it the Mr. Ben no more, OKComicsman? Ey?
He even got balloons! Truly 'twas a good time. Congratulations and thanks again to all at OKcomics. Now get back to distributing free comics to kids. "First one's free....heh..heh.."
Dressed as Der Fuhrer? Sounds tasteful. Speaking of which that cake was the tastiest. Cheers again!
I just shaved a little Adolf-style 'tash, slapped my hair down, put on a black shirt - and Bob's your uncle.
You've got to find some way of entertaining your self at work! Only one person said anything all day, but then I suppose what do you say to a guy who's come to work dressed as the leader of the Third Reich? I don't think it caused too much commotion as most of the people I used to work with were terrible right-wing racists anyway!
To even it up I might go in next week as Captain America. I figure I've got the body for it anyhow.
congrates ok, I think i've only been coming for about 2 & 1/2 years, I used to get put off by the smell of piss in 'tramp alley' and your over-eagerness to help, but I started coming in when you moved into nicer surrounds, and now (thanks to midnighter) i've spent a ridicules amount on comics and don't intend to stop any time soon.
