Hello let me introduce myself. I am an artist and writer, and lots of other labels. I am a young Nana and to most on here as I'm nearing fifty will probably be classed as an ancient crone. Don't knock it, age has lots to offer. You don't have to prove anything to anyone or posture and pose anymore. You can relax if you want but I don't because I don't WANT TO. Which is infinitely better than HAVE TO. Anyway I have lots of experience and have had a lot of fun getting it. Lots of sadness, losing all my older family over the last ten years. I was born a generation. My dad was in his late 40s my mum in her mid. I have nieces and nephew's around the same age as me. I digressed apologies. My main obsession has always been with the likes of Robocop (original as the new one both sucks and blows.) Aliens, the Terminator and cyborgs, robots and so on. Never a big zombie fan to be fair but appreciate that the likes of George Romero's night of the living dead as it is pretty damned good.

I have seen them all. However when the Walking Dead came out, and I was lucky enough to be in the first lot to see it when there was under a million of us. I knew it was special from the first episode. I have a confession to make. I watched it because Andrew Lincoln was in it. Egg in Teachers was when I developed a little crush on him, and I'd heard good stuff about the comics. I've liked Spiderman since I was four. Older brothers, that type of thing. Anyway I was hooked and even signed up to cable to get the necessary channel to watch it. My friends and I loved it and spent hours discussing it on the phone or the internet. I even fell out with a Forbes journalist who slated series 7 and because I called him out on his comments we had a bit of a scrap on Twitter. He was pretty nasty but I took it on the chin, because he missed the point. He's a game of thrones fan anyway so biased. I jest, he's just self important and arrogant. When I tried to contribute to Forbes forums about it my comments were rejected! How about that for freedom of speech, and freedom of the press HA. Capitalist scum! Again I joke nah just can't take a bit of healthy criticism, yet they're free to slag off our beloved Walking Dead. I look at this way, us super fans have each other. As for the ooh 7's too slow and 8's too much well it's simple. You can't please all of the people all of the time. I think that perhaps as it's so bloody good that inevitably you're going to get people who don't like it because it's popular. I know as an old punk rocker I'm guilty of it. I deliberately have ignored things like Friends over the years because everyone went on and on about it. Now I'm old enough to make up my own mind and don't give a flying f*** what anyone else thinks. Told you getting older is pretty good. I love the Walking Dead because it's bloody good TV It has everything, and it's the first show in years that made me actually shake (No sanctuary) and quite a few since then, cry. Laugh (Rick and Michonne's expression when Jadis asks if she can lie with Rick after the battle!)
