With Capn gone missing as well has he lost the drive

No pip just misplaced where he put the steering wheel.

I don't. It's like realising that the earache you've had for 2 years has just gone

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

I must say not having the nervous tension of wondering who he'll start slagging off next is quite refreshing - I could get used to it in fact. My hands used to want to swell up from wanting to slap him so much :twisted:

 

[snowballs]

PS if he wants to argue with that he can come on here & do it himself!

You are so seriously hard Dots I just so love your style

(even though I find you slightly scary )

 

[Dotsie]

Slightly?? Damn! Note to self - must try harder

How quickly do the tickets normally sell?

I ask because the handbrake on my car recently snapped sending my car down the road and into somebody elses. I have therefore had to buy a new one as mine was written off and won't have any spare cash until the middle of next month.

Do you think I can risk waiting that long or should I talk nicely to my mum and ask her to lend me the money??

I think last year pooh, Sjoerd Dotsie and I were booking in March-ish and the Convention wasn't until the end of August so I think you're safe enough to wait for now - this is hard core fans booking early I think

Also don't forget it's the Olympics next year so people are prolly still gonna be wanting to go to that and may hold back on booking for this until next year - I think the Olympic events will be going on well into August so there'll be counter attractions and travel clashes to take into account

Thanks for the answers. I will be getting the ticket next month just had a mild panic over how quickly they seemed to be going.

 

[Dotsie]

I'm so excited! What shall I wear? I'd like a few different but not very complicated costumes... witch? Which witch? Omnian travelling preacher maybe, with a few explanatory pamphlets... a watchman would be too expensive (and there are Anguas all over the place). NO corsets - they cost a fortune, they're uncomfortable, and nipples pop out all the time. Susan? There's usually a few Susans as well. I'm too tall to be a dwarf, and too organic to be a troll.

Who shall I be?

 

[meerkat]

Well, Birmingham means a Lady of Negotional Affection for me! What about Tiffany? You are young and pretty.

 

[Dotsie]

Well thank you, but, a 40-year-old Tiffany? I'm not that young! You might have me confused with someone else (although I am pretty )

Are you going to be wearing a corset as a LoNA?

Well you could be Tiffany as in ISWM - not that one, the other one.

 

[Dotsie]

Oi! I'm not that old either! I could grey up and wear a rabbit round my neck though (not one of mine - they'd be furious).

 

[meerkat]

How are the bunnies?

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Oi! I'm not that old either! I could grey up and wear a rabbit round my neck though (not one of mine - they'd be furious).

You could go as Sacharissa Cripslock

 

[Tonyblack]

Do we know how old THAT Tiffany is? It's a while since I read ISWM.

Well there's Esk of course.

And no! Don't do that to the bunnies.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I think she is about 15 or 16 definately midteens without checking.
