elullatook Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Back to the thread subject..... we did warn people on the forum that the 'goodie bags' were crap and no one believed us. To be honest SM if you can not do any better than a 5x7 photo its best not to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelijahlover Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 That is extremely ungrateful...Be proud of the Showmasters for all they did for us this weekend! They were absolutely fabulous! I loved my Hobbit photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I didn't mind at all being given a photo as a giveaway. It was a freebie after all and I didn't let it spoil my day. I bought enough goodies and anyway, as they say "it's the thought that counts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted March 8, 2004 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2004 Makes me laugh really that some people are SO worried about not getting one little picture, when they've had a really great weekend meeting guests etc! Seems like something extremely tiny in the grand scale of things ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well said David!!! I agree totally. Like I said I'd bought a load of goodies already, met stars from Red Dwarf, met stars from LOTR, got photographed and filmed standing with said stars of LOTR, attended entertaining LOTR and RD talks, met loads of ppl from the forum and had a great time! That was already enough to make it a weekend to remember so anything else was just a bonus! Some people it seems are never going to be satisfied!

sarah-4-eva Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 i agree. if anyone doesnt want em, give em to someone who WILL appreciate them.. like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted March 8, 2004 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2004 And I'd just like to say that I'm pretty sure the point of the TALKS is to go and see the guests TALK Not to get free stuff Cuz paying just to get the free pic wud be silly!

ukelijahlover Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think people are just pointing out the fact it stated we would get a gift..of course they went to see the guests talk more than anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted March 8, 2004 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well it's the "is that all?" and "if that's all, Showmasters shouldn't bother" comments that I think are rather ungrateful seeing as they never HAD to give out ANY free stuff to ANYONE but they always choose to at the talks, people get a bit too greedy in my opinion.

stinkyberm Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 We went to LOTR talk 2 on the Sunday and didn't get a "give away" we were told there wasn't one! So to those who are unhappy with what you got, at least you got a keepsake of it Ticket stubs were very pretty tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eogwyn Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well I'm very happy with my picture of Aragorn and yes the ticket stubs are very pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyn Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 well of course i went for the talk but it's £15 it's alot of money esp with no cinema screening and i'd have appreciate a pciture esp as they said there would be a freebie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
