  1. i had a prepaid early bird ticket...and like a lot made a mad dash for a VT for Patrick Stewart,luckily i got number 306...in the time he was there he moved through over 650 i believe...i was very happy with my signature he also asked me what colour pen i would like has i had a black and white image of the cast...i said silver would be fine,i thanked him and he looked up at said "your welcome"...so over all i was happy with the day...
  2. Very dissapointed with the venue only,shame on you Earls Court!
  3. anyone else get the feeling that they were in a dark damp basement...rather than one of the biggest/brightest venues in the UK?
  4. it really annoys me when people whinge about the price of DVD's or they are splitting the season...no one is putting a gun to your head and say "buy it"...you want to send a clear message to these companies ,its simple really don't buy it....and it won't be too long before you get to pick up a complete season for probably £20.00....like i did with Supernatural...they eventually come down in price if they don't sell aswell first time round....and it sends a clear message to keep the price down for the next season!
  5. Yes, assuming he doesn't get last minute filming schedule changes. thanks!.....any chance of getting the rest of them aswell....it would make my son's day! I'm glad i already bought a 20"x14" print of the cast at collectomania 11
  6. its not in walking distance,don't expect the taxi to be cheap...but the underground is right on your doorstep you could even take a bus!
  7. I agree about having that feeling but the bottom line is renting Earls Court costs money and someone has to pay for it..................so its understandable really i guess. Still feels too much for me and some though. I will be there however and have budgeted £250 all in for the event. i'm not a big fan of entrance fees...but the upside of this event compared to Milton Keynes...is it isn't so cramped walking around the dealers tables with the daily shoppers of Milton Keynes,tripping over prams and small kids....and as been said....its not cheap to hire Earls Court!....but saying that i wouldn't want the Milton Keynes event to go anywhere else....Earls Court is just a nice change!
  8. i thought his acting in Eastenders was awful,but i suppose you can blame the scriptwriters for that!...well maybe!
  9. taxi prices are very expensive....the docklands to Earls Court is quite a distance and would set you back maybe twenty quid or more in a black cab....you'd be better off taking the docklands light railway then the underground! I would think significantly more than twenty quid. There's a rough guide here (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/taxisandminicabs/taxis/1140.aspx), and the detailed tariff here (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/taxisandminicabs/taxis/taxifares/4870.aspx) According to google maps, the distance between London City Airport, which is in Docklands, and EC1 is about 13.1 miles or about 21.1 km. Assuming that you're making your journey on Saturday or Sunday. That puts you on tariff 2 Tariff 2 For any hiring either during Monday to Friday between 20:00 and 22:00 or during Saturday or Sunday between 06:00 and 22:00, other than on a public holiday: * For the first 252 metres or 54.2 seconds (whichever is reached first) there is a minimum charge of £2.20 * For each additional 126.0 metres or 27.1 seconds (whichever is reached first), or part thereof, if the fare is less than £17.20 there is a charge of 20p * Once the fare is £17.20 or greater then there is a charge of 20p for each additional 108.8 metres or 23.4 seconds (whichever is reached first), or part thereof £2.20 gets you the first 252 metres. 75 lots of twenty pence, is 15 quid, which takes you up to £17.20. That's moved you along 75 lots of 126 metres, or 9450 metres in total. So, that leaves you 21,100 meters minus that first 252, minus another 9450, so that's another 11,398 metres to go. At 20 pence for each 108.8 meters (or a pound per 544 metres). Since there are approximately 21 lots of 544 metres in that remaining 11.398 km, that's another twenty-one quid, on top of your £17.20. So basically, if you get a straight drive all the way and never get caught in traffic once, it'll cost you about £38. More realistically, given the traffic in London on a Saturday or Sunday, we're talking somewhere between forty and fifty quid. thats why i said twenty quid or more....twenty quid being a starting price....
  10. taxi prices are very expensive....the docklands to Earls Court is quite a distance and would set you back maybe twenty quid or more in a black cab....you'd be better off taking the docklands light railway then the underground!
  11. yes...get off at Piccadilly Circus....one direction will take you to Leciester Square that then leads to Covent Garden....or another direction would take you up Regents Street bringing you out to Oxford Circus(middle of Oxford Street)...incidently if you go up Regent Street...there are signs for Carnaby Street as well.
  12. its only 6 stops on the Piccadilly line to Piccadilly Circus.....thats the most central spot in the west end...not that far at all really!
  13. depending what day you arrive....parking can be free in certain areas around Earls Court at the weekend....i will be parking around the North End Road area on the Saturday and walking the short distance to the event!...as for free carparks in London at any other time...not a chance!
  14. yes it has been asked ....and yes it is bing held at Earls Court!
  15. No, she did an awful lot of hard core don't read, mods please delete too. But again, in my view if slappers like LDM are going to be invited that would turn the event into something else entirely - something I've got no interest in. It's nothing to do with being married - I just have no interest in paying to meet don't read, mods please delete stars or page 3 girls. "Slappers"....not quite the word i'd use but....hey i'm a pretty open minded person that doesn't judge someone for what they do as a living! Lol hold on a minute - Let me be clear. I wasn't saying all glamour models are slappers - that would be completely untrue, unfair, and completely not what I was saying. On the contrary, I was specifically talking about LDM. Lets just quickly run through a few key points of her career, as noted on Wikipedia: She starting glamour modelling at 15, having her first topless photo's in the Daily Sport on her 16th birthday. At the age of 16, she did a successful don't read, mods please delete video involving various incestuous activities with her sister. At the age of 16 again, she had an affair with a married footballer 10 years older than him, including allegedly "romping" with him on the bonnet of his BMW. Through her 20s she performed in hard core don't read, mods please delete of various different types, and had affairs with numerous footballers. She has been convicting of drink driving. In 2004 she had yet another affair with a married footballer, breaking up his marriage. I don't mean to be cruel to her, but what's your definition of a slapper? so is a guy considered a slapper....if he likes to shag alot...you see the reason i don't like the word slapper being refered to a girl/woman who likes sex wether its in the don't read, mods please delete industry or just out on a Saturday night...is because there is just the same amount of guys like that out there....would you agree that (as an example) that Robbie Williams was a slapper...i here he's put himself about quite abit!....its the double standards that some guys have about what they can do but a woman can't....you usually find that some of the guys who do refer to women as slappers are the ones who feel intimidated by them,or the fact they have been blown out by them....

  17. I was making a joke about the stereotype of glamour models! A joke?....but glamour models have feelings as well you know!
  18. maybe because of the killjoys?
  19. if they were THAT popular why did they leave ar 12 on sunday?? Everytime i saw them last time they looked bored out of their brains. Sorry i meant heads cause of course we all know glamour models............ well i was there Saturday....and they were very busy! now thats a sweeping statement about models being brainless....so i gather your not bitter about them in anyway? was you there the year before....when the fetish models were there....well i did go that sunday and they were very popular!
  20. This is the first I've heard or even read about it. Does anyone remeber reading or hearing about that??? I cant/dont beleive they'd do that. What in the name of blue nice try does *g* mean??? *rolls eyes* "*g*" = "grin". As for the flashing, it was here that I read about it. Though I don't recall exactly which thread it was in, it was definitely here! And the lot of you, quit insulting me, I'm not saying I wouldn't want them around, just trying to explain a probable reason that they haven't been invited back. no one has insulted you....their opinions just differ!
  21. for the last two years there has been some kind of stand with a selection of models,from the fetish or glamour world...they were very popular as you can guess....and as far as i can remember there as never been any accusations of flashing up till now....i hope we do get some models there this year....if only to stick two fingers up at the fuddy duddies!
  22. And they did that WHEN exactly? Because I unfortunatly missed it, and seems everyone with a camera did or id have seen the pics by now And would this be the same children getting pregnant at 13-14 because its the cool thing to do? I had two disposable cameras last year, filled them up, and they both got trashed by the heat. So you can't reasonably assume that just because nobody got a photograph of it, it didn't happen. Why would someone make that up, exactly? I agree, I wasn't one of the people who saw it, but you can't logically assume people didn't when it was complained about. As for the children, not all of them are like that, and I saw kids a lot younger than that at the convention. Regardless, it is still inappropriate behaviour for an all-ages event. I wouldn't invite them back either if someone complained of behaviour like that, which - the complaints - did certainly happen on the forum if not also elsewhere. so you say they were flashing their spam....but you didn't actually see it happen!...hmmm!
  23. i'd like to see some glamour models there...but considering some killjoy negatives thoughts about last years ones...showmasters more than likely have knocked that idea on the head!
  24. Just out of curiousity, why did you think that? She's done at least three events in the last couple of years Stateside... but never here...lets hope Edward James Olmos does one sometime! Please add a SPOILER WARNING for those who have not seen the film, you might ruin the surprise. Surprise??....what that she dies?
