Having said all that I've just been looking at the stuff I got and I'm pretty pleased with it all.

Flights - Airmiles ( Thank goodness )
Parking at Manchester Airport 16
Hotel Hoppa 16
Gene Cernan - 75 and a very friendly chap
Madeline Smith - 20 and a friendly chat
Caroline Munro - 25 and a long friendly chat with her and Madeline
Saw Mr James, Mr Johnson, Mr Bean ( who really did not look well ), Ms Nielsen, Ms Agutter, Ms Thompsett, Mr Lennie, the Page 3 duo, the Please Sir guests and the Bond guests
I did not see Ms Scales nor Ms Leon nor Mr Carpenter nor Mr Warden nor Mr Campbell nor Mr Wyngarde. And of course Mr Cribbens, Mr Bannister and Ms Fraser only did Saturday
Trouble was that apart from the 3 ( I did pay for an auto ) none of the others who were around were really of interest or were recent repeats even Buzz. Those I did want to see weren't there so next time I will try for Saturday

I'm a bit annoyed with myself now as well. Last week at work we were told of mass redunancies and my department was going to lose a few people. I ended up going a bit easy at the weekend just in case, got told yesterday my job was safe so as it goes I could have spent a bit more on some people I'm already regretting not getting!
Hopefully they'll get some of them back next time!
