Yep there i was number 2 in the pre booked tickets que.I was expecting ppl to be camped out from the night before lol.I got Malcolms VT number 13 but ended up being number 8. Really cool seeing him arrive and chatting.Though i wasnt too keen on the dippy girl at his photo desk the way she rolled her eyes when i asked for 2 photos.Just because everyone else was getting 1 youd think theyed be glad to get  my money. Also out the photo session i got 2 photos!! Not bad for a first timer eh? Lots of funny incidents while waiting,like the guy in the wheelchair whacking the door with his cane to get in lol.Oh the hilarity we had.

The photo desk for the photo sessions or the cash desk for autographs?

so you thought it was funny seeing a guy in a wheelchair struggling to open a door...did the thought not occur to you to go and help him?

That's unnecessary. Because someone is helping out, it becomes all the more hilarious that he was struggling? I was working with him and he's worth a lot more than you, dude.

I don't think there is any need to ridicule the crew members like that. Also I find it in bad taste that you choose to laugh at those who have a disability.

There are I believe some crew members who are disabled, and still offer their services as crew members. I have nothing but respect for them.

If you think you can do a better job crewing then why don't you volunteer your services ?

Why didnt they help? I thought your all supposed to be one big team?

Nooo not at all.It was just the way everyone kept coming in and then getting sent round to some other bit round the side of the building and rather than sit around and wait like others he used this amazing looking cane to get their attention.

Graeme doesnt mean any harm ( I dont know him BTW). He was just saying it was funny to see someone (not cos he was disabled) whacking a door cos they couldnt get in when that person should know that whacking it wont do any good. It probably reminded him of some comedy sketch a la Harry Enfield or some non-PC Farrely Brothers movie.

Oh what the hell, I give up...Graeme, HOW DARE YOU BE SO INSENSITIVE!! I AM DISGUSTED.  :(  ;)  :unsure:

You dont know me? Nicky why must you always choose to forget that 7 month affair we had? I thought we werent gonna be ashamed anymore lol...........Bit disapointed to see you joining the crowd with your comments but i think you know what i really meant.I dont discriminate or make fun of anyone.

I would also like to thank the staff.Ill admit i never bothered to get to know any of the people on here or care what they looked like or meet up with any of them.There was one guy  who came out about 5 minutes before they opened the doors, he was quite tall i was gonna ask him if he was Too Tall from here. I did speak to quite a few people though i wasnt sure who was who and who worked for who.I know some staff were casually dressed and others had their 'Clockwork Orange' style t shirts on (All for Malcolms benefit i might add:D:D:D:D) I ended up speaking to quite a few people and they were all nice to me. Specially the girls, i  think its the scottish accent. They cant get enough of it lol

I didn't join the crowd at all, that last part of my post I was just taking the pi$$ in an ironic reversal kinda way eg. "if you can't beat 'em join 'em"  :(
