  1. Same experience for my husband working from home.... vpn is rubbish with added load they have. Also teenage kid next door is off and seems to be playing xbox or something in room right nexr to hubbys office and is constantly yelling at the game/whoever hes playing with. Not helping hubbys stress levels when systems acting up/not working.
  2. Exactly how i feel. I love being home... but knowing no choice, not even being able to go out if you want sucks.
  3. Same here for me n hubby.. am one with symptons but managing ok at home he can work from home anyway and is oit road in his office most of day . On plus side as i cant work from home i am binging chicago fire lol
  4. I work with public and its my work thats enforcing the stay home rule. Which am sure any vulnerable adult or parent of young child would appreciate. Yeah i dont feel great but could be so much worse for them.
  5. Hope everyone is feeling well and looking out for each other. I woke up this morning feeling awful.... temp, sore throat and achy. So bed for me all day and home isolation for next week or so i guess.
  6. I know we always arrive at our hotel waaaay before check in (2)... we get there around 10ish due to flight.. they let us check bags with them for free and even let us into a room if one is already ready but if not at least check bags an we can go get something to eat. We usually arrive thursday, so granted not as much of an issue with it not being a con day. Each place will have one rules though i guess, as others have said before.
  7. For me this is a BIG guest. Was gutted when he cancelled last time. Its all relative I guess.... just be happy for those that are delighted.
  8. Omg!!!! Soooo happy. Thanks for hetting him again SM. Fecking delighted!!!
  9. Ahh cool.. i thought thats what it was but thought best to check. Thanks again.
  10. Thanks. . Think 3 day pass for me and take gamble with vq's... what do you mean by access pass?
  11. Thanks... are there packages that dont need vq? And if so, is that only for the autos that are included in the package?
  12. Hi all Sorry to bring this up again but we had to put booking etc on hold for a bit. We are going to go and will book things tomorrow.... question is : 3 day entry... arriving around 10am in birmingham friday can get to venue straight away almost. Booking photos for sat and sun none friday . Photos anson, alice, connor, anthony and also wanting their autos too.and maybe a couple more aitos Will this be do-able? We have been to lfcc mamy times but not dst so not sure how it will go.
  13. For me one of the best characters ever in tv is Walter from Fringe. John Noble was absolutely superb. Fantastic character and John played him amazingly.
  14. I cringe when i see someone getting one (the box) autographed.
  15. Love the rookie with nathan fillion. cobra kai love it. New twist with a good bit of nostalgia. handmaids tale loves S1 got bored S2 chernobyl thought it was done brilliantly!!! Hauntingly brilliant. Derry Girls hilariously brilliant easy watching. the good doctor really enjoyed it. star trek discover and Rewatching star trek enterprise the boys binged it... loved it!!! It aint playing tho. Awesome. Sure theres a couple i have missed.
  16. It has always been stated for DP.guests that only way to guarantee is with the DP...... SM cant control how fast a guest will sign or how many breaks they may need so if they are slow or need a few breaka then of course they might not get to vq or many of them. Guests are only human at end of day. I took a gamble with 2 guests for vq and i got rhem luckily one last thing sunday but i knew i took a gamble and was my choice. Not sm fault if i didnt get them.
  17. Its own personal choice whether you feel it is worth it or not. Personally if there is a guest i definately want to be sire of auto and i know they will be busy e.g ian somerhalder and christopher lloyd i get DP. Yes you pay more but personally i feel its worth it for the guests i feel it worth it for... no stress of needing low VQ and also not having to check back all time if your vq is called. Also saves time for photo too. Its personal to each person and as i say only the individual can decide if dp is worth it to them for that particular guest. You can always roll the dice with VQ if you dont want to pay for guarantee with DP
  18. Not sure if anyone is interested but thought i'd do this as not really done it before and thougjt maybe going over the weekend would remind me of little.things i might habe forgotten. Thursday usual esrly start... flight from Glasgow at 7am got to London around 8am/just after. Breakfast in hydepark and then taxi to hotel rather than walking as it was sooooo hot. Got i to room early as they had one ready..... was so grateful fir air con. Went and picked up passes. Didnt have too long to wait although 3 day passes werent ready right away wasnt too long before they were sorted. Back to hotel and went to have a cool drink in bar. Met another woman there whi also going to con. Shared stories back n forth until we realised time and the early start we both had. Parted ways amd went.to our rooms. FRIDAY First day of con!!! Got a not bad.position in queue and ended.up next to lady i made friends with night before. Convo continued untl time to get in.. both wishing each other luck with VQs lol. Had 3 photo ops and got most of the autos i wanted. Late finish tho as two photo.ops late in day. SATURDAY Anither early one. Got some low VQs and mamaged to get william shatner and lee majors autos as well. With my husband getting a fist pump from william shatner. After ling wait got my ian Somerhalder auto. Totally worth it and so glad i upgraded to DP last minute. Successful day. SUNDAY Still need tom ellis auto so no late start as want low VQ. Got 49!!! I have a chance. Between his talk/ photo sessions i figure its going to be late i can get his auto. Slow day as got all autos want and waiting on Tom and our photo sessions. Again two are late ones. We take in the free comic book talk which was really interesting then photo session again. Brendan fraser last photo and go straight to tom ellis auto at 5.45 and get.go ahead to join queue. Think we got there just in time as talking about cutting it off. Leave con juat before 6 so happy have all autos we want and photos. MONDAY Flight not until late afternoon.
