Murph

Got home at 6.45pm and have been in bed ever since *tired*

It's a great feeling lol.

The pic of you on the iron throne reminds me of someone. Been bugging me all day coz I can't think who lol.

I think instead of 2 x £10 guests, they should just make it 1 x £15 guest. Now although you do lose a guest, if gives much better variety for choices on who you use it for.

I sat in on one of the talks just to eat my lunch. They came across so awesome in the talk, I now need to watch a show they were in

My biggest negative were the way the VQ's were handled. Yet again crew not knowing a GP needed a VQT for DP guests. Also crew not only not checking VT's properly, but some not even taking them off you. If you were with friends you could so easily hand low no's to friends to reuse. Also as great as the new entry system was, it does need a small tweak for next time. Everyone was put right to the front of the pens without having tickets scanned. Once crew started to come round to scan tickets, if you kept quiet you could so easily have gotten in on all 3 days without even paying. Doesn't make good business sense to rely on 100% honestly from customers. IMO you should have gone into one pen and held there until your ticket was scanned, then moved up into another at entrance to the hall. That way you knew for sure everyone queueing had actually paid to get in. And just for the record I wasn't the only person thinking this. I overheard a couple of people saying they hadn't bought a weekend pass as they could have easily saved the money and still got in.

I think my main problem for the talks was the lighting. Was very dull in the talk area and 2 lights at the side shining onto the guests faces wasn't ideal.

Tobin was actually the hardest guest of my list to meet. I got VQT no 31 on Saturday, but didn't meet him. Was kinda worried when I got no 31 again on Sunday. But he was definitely worth the wait :)

Dana Scully...just saying

She isn't even in the top 2 worst guest experiences I've had.

I won't admit to a show I've not seen but will now add to my watch list. All coz of a guest I didn't even really meet haha.

I must admit the only other time I can remember sold out not being sold out was for Stan Lee. And that was only coz a deal was made to fit more in at an increased price.

My legs are really starting to feel it now. Can't wait to spend all day tomorrow in bed lol.

Loved all your cosplay Rory :)

I didn't get to meet either of you....booooo.Rory, I was hoping to run into you again to take one. One day you must do Anna again and I shall do Elsa, and we will take the best selfie EVER. Murph, there's always next year. :) Which now seems so far away lol.

The people running the photo areas are usually always spot on. Now to get people running the VQ lines up to speed. So many of them didn't seem to know A from B, and it ruins things for so many people.

The GP is still worth having if you actually want/need the priority for auto's/photo's. I think what needs to be looked at again is the price. I still think GP people should have a VQT for Diamond guests.

Funny now to think about it, but we only met due to SM messing up the GP lol.

I didn't get to meet either of you....booooo.

You didn't give me a hug! Gives you something to look forward to lol.

Much better than meeting me it looks

Feeling a bit dead at work lol. Luckily today is my Monday and Friday, as 3 days off after today.

He was kinda pressed for time when I met him. But he still had a bit of a chat with me about X-Files. When I left he actually thanked me for meeting him for that character :)

Or having weird conversations with friends not in the know. Me: I saw a King today. Friend: A King? Really? Where? Me: Yeah, I saw a King Edward in Tesco.

There was some very poor handling of autograph queues over the whole weekend. But I would like to give a special mention to the girl running Ian McDiarmid's queue on Sunday. I didn't get her name, but she's from Greece. A guy tried to just join the back of the auto queue (like was happening so much everywhere) and she dealt with him amazingly well. Even when he tried to force her to allow him to stay she stuck to her guns :)
