I'd love him as a guest as well - another one to add to my Atlantis collection.

Lol. I used to love some of the old Daz adverts because they used to say "Daz gets rid of fat at 40 degrees". So if I ate some and sat in a sauna i'd lose weight ?

OOooo Me ME Me What do I win? Thought so Bye Bye A You win a free sample of new "Slimmopax" containing extracts of Sucrose, fructose, lactose, cocoa pwder for flavoring, lard and cotton (For fibre) 100% guarunteed to loose no weight.

omgosh you dip fries into milkshakes too!?!?! we are Kindred spirits! do you suppose we were twins seperated at birth>? Lol, I haven't done it for a few years and when I tell anyone I know that I used to do it they all look at mea like i'm from another planet! It might be a bit of a wierds food combi but I dont think it's that bad compared to what some pople combine?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm go on then, what are you trying to sell?

Ewww nasty. Although food wise I will admit to dipping McDonald's fries in the milkshakes once upon a time and don't get me started on tomato sauce sandwiches mmmmmmmmmmm

HAve a deep fried Mars Bar for afters then!

Stephen Speilberg - got invited to go and watch the filming of Empire OF The Sun. Also got his auto which he signed from him and for some reason he wrote from Michael J Fox on as well. Very nice but strange man.

Just goes to show that you can get joy if dealt with sensibly - Hope the teacher got a talking to.

[quote name='srbarker' date='Jun 20 2006, 12:44 AM' post='990431' The fact remains that these models have been asked there by an artist and if he uses them for inspiration for his comic and you love the comic then i am sure you might be interested in meeting them. When I used to buy comics direct from the publisher they had lots of different comics on sale and boy some of those covers were very racey - also when I think back to any of the graphic artwork books you can pick up in sci fi shops many of them are the same. So it just goes to show that comics use risque stuff too and as srbarker says they have to get their inspiration from somewhere.

HArrison Ford would do for me as a replacement

As Keeper said why don't you contact/write into the school and ask them how they select the prize winners, explain to them that you and friends had higher grades and worked harder and ask them to justify it. As long as you keep it polite and well reasoned there is nothing wrong with saying any of the above to them. Maybe you can't be bothered seeing as you have left now, but I always think of the people who are in that class after you who might be going through the same thing. It doesn't take long to work up a letter and it might be interesting to you to see what they say.

Fresh sliced mango with nuts, seeds and dried fruit - Must get the RDA of fibre!

Only slightly!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, he was the one person I was really coming to see! Glad he's got work but gutted as this is the second uk event he's had to pull out of recently.

Sigh. It would be good to get Beau B though.

Ok, so photo shoot, pee breaks, fag breaks, lunch, talk - VERY busy chappie.

pee breaks, lunch....

Especially not with an hour out for photo's.

And remember that Collectormania is usually 4 days - LFCC is only 2. (Don't know how many days he was at Collectormania for though) The best advice is that if you really want to meet him you need to get there as early as possible - the later you get there the less chance there is. The only other way to arrive late and still get to see him would be to buy a Gold Ticket.

It's not so much a case of SM can do it right - maybe RDA doesn't want to be mobbed by the hundreds if not thousands that would probably turn up. Heck i'd love to get him at this type of show but I think it's more a case of HE doesn't want to do them. He's also big on charity so maybe he doen't like charging for auto's and stuff if it's going for profit. All of the auto's he's done so far he's donated his fee to charity. Instead of Chris J and Michael S, who have been over here a few times already, i'd rather see Ben Browder and Claudia Black. I know it's probably unlikely as I don't think either of them are fond of cons from what i've heard, but wouldn't you like some new people?

Getting decent posters for Stargate and Atlantis is almost imposible. I started with the grey "uniting the planets" one, but it's now full (About 50ish sigs) and have started getting sigs on the blue poster. I get my auto's on both the poster and 8x10's - I get the 8x10's personalised and just a sig on the poster. I do intend framing the posters eventually but I keep the photo's in a folder. I agree that when you have a few it will just look messy to have them on a wall. I had such a hard time with Atlantis - last year, or the year before, the entire main cast came over to the UK through 3 different events - i wanted a poster signed but there was absolutely nothing out there. Eventually I bought a limited edition picture from one of the dealers at Collectormania. I think it was "Atlantis at Night". I know someone on here said they have seen people getting their own picture designs signed but I will give out one note of caution over that. If you go to an actual convention (as opposed to a signing event) sometimes the actors are only allowed to sign official merchandise, and sometimes they are specifically told not to sign screen caps. I don't think it happens very often but it's better to be forewarned and forearmed. I'd hate to go to a con aiming to get something signed only to be told I couldn't because it was unofficial. And I agree with Rich about the problem with lots of sigs on posters is that you sometimes can't actually make out the name, so not having a picture to go with it can leave you scratching your head. I get around this by keeping a Word list - each time I get a sig added to the poster I put the actors (and character) name to the list - then using a process of elimination you can usually guess who's sig it is, or even if you can't it shouldn't matter as you have a list of who is on there anyway. That's also another good reason for also getting an 8x10 signed as well if you can afford it - you can then match the sigs up between the photo's and poster. I also put a sticky note on the back of all my 8x10's with the persons name, when I got the sig and at what event. I find that clears up any problems. I'm not usually too bothered by who I haven't gotten to sign either. There has to be limits anyway. When you start getting the occasional guest star or the bit actors you have to consider how worth it is it to get their sig. Where do you stop - oh he was in one episode, i'll get him, or he was the third evil guy to the left, i'll have him. I know this is a lot more relevant when you are talking about the main actors but my personal opinion is that if you collect sigs for a programme or film that has very rare/hard to get signers, i don't fret too much if I can't get them, I don't consider them unfinished. If the poster is full, i'll have it framed, then if one of those rare signers turned up at an event, i'd just take the poster out and get it signed. It's like RDA - until now it was highly unlikely that he would ever do an event anyway so the chances of getting an in person auto where so slim it's not even worth thinking about! So although now that he is doing an event, he won't be doing any auto's. It's dissapointing but considering I never really had any hope of getting one of my personal items signed by him before, I just think "oh well". It can be annoying to not have some of the main people on your items but if everyone else is in the same boat I don't personally think it matters.

I think the only way it would ever happen at one of these type events (ie unless it was a show specifically put on for charity) would be if Viggo waived the appearance fee and any money raised from selling the auto's went to charity. Don't see that happening though.

Hi there yes we do take personal items to get them signed. They are insured whilst in my possesion. Mick Excellent, I might be contacting you in the future then.
