Got nothing to compete with these stories but great to read. Shows that the guests are just people too and I love how everyone treats them with respect and they're not harrassed when they're wandering around.

There was one odd moment when I was waiting in David Blue's queue on sunday afternoon. The guy in the wookie suit came up and started talking in growls etc. David made out he understood it all and asked if he was naked under all that fur and then there was a bizarre moment with an apple,  Tony Head and the wookie and a lot of innuendo from David which had everyone in stitches. Loved it.

It's great when the guests are clearly enjoying themselves too and it's clear David is a real fan at heart. I get the feeling he could barely believe he was there. Had a great conversation with him. With everyone in fact, just nothing too surreal.

I was in Grantham Hospital 2 years or so ago, getting a blood test. Nurse brings a wheelchair in.. Sitting next to me, in said wheelchair is Richard Todd, star of Dam Busters, Robin Hood and loads of other stuff. Do I make a fuss, acknowledge him, or anything.. or let him be Mr Normal. I choose latter. Seeing him in the wheelchair shocked me, but gave credence to the numerous cancellations of Autographica. A week later, I'm walking out the hospital to phone my Boss.. walking in.. Richard Todd. Again, let him be..

Kind of regretting it now...

Ooh! Just remembered my surreal moment of the weekend!

Remarking to David Blue about his recent tweet about meeting Anthony Head and I asked David if that was his geek moment, to which he replied "No, THIS was my geek moment" and showed me a pic of him and Tony Head on his mobile

For those of you of a nervous disposition and don't like toilety stuff, please don't read on

Hi,

So let me tell you what happened to me in the mens loo on Saturday !

I was stood at the urinal just humming to myself, when the door opens and who stands next to me only Robert Englund! So I do a double take, grin and shout out, "well this is a surreal moment". Robert was kind enough to give a quick smile and a little "hump" (but was probably thinking I am a weirdo).

Now as I go to wash my hands, Robert does too so I say to him, "my friends who didn't come, won't believe me and I cannot ask you for a photo not in the mens loo and I cannot shake your hands as it would be uncomfortable. They will never believe this surreal moment". Robert looks at me and smiles and says, "I will tell you about surreal". I was in the toilets years ago and I was having a lovely long crap (his words not mine :firedevil:. After I had finished and I was all icky and smelly, I open the door and who is waiting to come in... George Harrison in which George goes "whaaa" and I go "whaa" with our arms waving frantically. That my friend is surreal".

Well what can I say to that!!!! What a story!

As I am walking out of the toilet, with my head turned all the way round grinning like a fool at Robert, who walks into the to toilet only David Warner. I nearly walk into him and so he goes "Wahh" with a smile and his hands up, I go "whahh" too with my hands up and behind me, Robert goes "wahh" too.

I left with my head exploding and my geek level rising to 1000...
What a moment.

Oh and before anyone mentions it, yes I did break the unspoken rule of men speaking to men whilest having a pee. Sorry but hey, memories, better than any autograph or photo -

Laters.

Solo.

Had a very similar thing at LFCC last year. My other half is obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas so I went into the loo and who should be stood there but him lol but I just smiled and didnt want to break the rule lol

And who is this?  (Ack! too many forum names to remember!)

I too have had a 'toilet guest encounter'. Connor Trinneer at my first Collectormania Manchester. What a Trip that was.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of telling my mother about this, because she is a fan of his. Four years later and she is still telling people about it

Hi, I am Adrian

Not exactly surreal but the following encounter made me chuckle. It was Collectormania London 2010. In the morning I had a photo with Sylvester McCoy in my 7thDoc cosplay. I'd changed into 8thDoc for a photo with McGann that afternoon. Midday my girlfriend (who didn't know much at all about classic Who) came along to join me. Whilst walking about I bumped into Sylvester McCoy. He commented on my outfit change saying I was hard to keep track of if I kept changing my appearance. I said that was rich coming from someone who'd changed his face half a dozen times already. He chuckled and went back to his post. My girlfriend asks "So who's that then? A mate of yours from these conventions?" I just looked at her in disbelief "THAT WAS THE DOCTOR!" XD
