Strider

I'm a little behind and just read this on Hobbit Blog. I have to say I am ecstatic Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are on board..I am sure with their involvement, this paves the way for a lot of the cast reprising their roles. I am extremely hopeful that this will go ahead and personally, I can't wait!!

Aww..that just plain sucks..if ever I needed an excuse to drink more..this was it I don't know what to do now..although the hotel will be refunded, unfortunately the cost of my flight, x 2), won't be...do I bite the bullet and make a weekend of it anyway..and book a hotel nearer the city..or cut my losses...I need another drink. Thanks for the info Jason..at least we know..not what we wanted to hear, but a conclusion nonetheless.

LOL..okay..everything except my mouth...and my arms lol

I think we all just need to have a few drinks tonight, relax a little and wait for the news tomorrow ...that's what I intend to do...with everything crossed

I hate sky ..first Lost..and now Prison Break..soon there won't be anything left for me to watch

I seem to remember Andy Serkis and David Wenham being second and third in the 'second choice of who do you want to hang out with' poll. Considering some of the first choice names on offer look like hard to get people, what with popularity and the fact they are not known for doing cons...I reckon the 3 guests listed so far are pretty bang on. I'm not complaining at all..I just want this to happen like the rest of you, and the guests announced/suggested so far are okay by me :)

Speaking as someone who has already booked too...I am well excited about the prospect of meeting David Wenham. I haven't met him before, so him being there is just awesome for me. I do hope you don't consider cancelling this and other guests can be persuaded to attend...flight fare and hotel booking money is a lot to have to forfeit, especially when you have paid x2. BTW..I agree with Banished from rohan..Howard Shore would be a major plus :)

...but then there are people who have not met a large amount of the cast before, so repeat signers are again welcome in that respect

It's probably been changed due to the coming together of G-MEX and MICC. Although they have been operating together for a while, they most likely thought it needed a new name which didn't favour one over the other and gave it a fresh start. Manchester Central..well that's because the building actually stands on the site of old Central Railway station, (the roof is still intact from this, incidentally it was the worlds first railway station ), so no suprises to the name. We still call it GMex though..once given a name, it's pretty hard to shake it off :)

The code has been posted in this thread somewhere..just read through the posts by Showmasters and you will find it, (I can't remember it off the top of my head). Then just call the hotel on the number provided and book. BTW: there is also a pinned thread at the top of this forum called something like "there are hotel rooms available"..all the info is in there too.

Dom is the only Hobbit I haven't yet met..so it works for me

Pretty much the same for me...I still watch Vegas, (when channel 5 isn't playing up, then I have to resort to watching my DVD's). I watch Miami when I catch it, but I do buy the DVD's and watch those..NY...well..never got into it from the start, and don't have any DVD's either...it's kind of a sideline series for me..if there is nothing else on, then I will watch it, but other than that..I don't bother

..and wasn't the woman Charlie saved from the mugger in the alley, actually Nadia..Sayids childhood love?

I think you all missed something major It was most definitely her..albeit a blink and you miss it appearance. Take another look Also, you misinterpret my earlier statement...I don't mean for them to be asking questions about the occurences to the others...I'm talking about the survivors themselves...no one discusses anything. I don't know about you, but if I had just come face to face with a smoke monster or had it try and drag me down a hole...I sure as hell would be discussing it with my friends who had seen it too. ..and I'm still not convinced about the flashforward..after all, this is Lost

that seriously made me laugh for a long time I'm not sure what to make of the finale either...once again we are left with tons of questions that need answering...makes my head hurt I'm not convinced it was a flash forward...not in the sense that it's what happened after they were rescued...I can't see the writers giving it away that easily ...yet everything seems to point to that; the gold passes they got, the fact Jack and Kate met, the maps, the frequent flying...but who was the dead person?, and why was Jack speaking as though his dad was still alive. Did anyone else notice that in Charlies flashback when he was busking and it started to rain..Naomi was standing in the crowd watching him? ..and what's with Naomi anyway...I mean who is/was she? She had a photo of Desmond, and knew about Penny..so was she an 'other' too? Questions, questions..I know what you mean about people not asking questions...it bugs me too. I mean, the smoke monster for instance...people have seen this and no one discusses it? I mean it killed Ekko for crying out loud Oh well...onto the next season
