Discworld Convention 2012 Launched

[Who's Wee Dug]

A wee hip flask used discretely is just the jobbie,I will have one with me.

 

[LifeChild]

EEEEEEE! I have signed up! I can't wait! Why is August 2012 so far away?! I've never been to one of these before, and I don't know anyone, but I thought what the heck, discworld fans are bound to be crazy and fantastic people, so, I shall tootle along and have fun. Any hints/tips on what to expect? How to behave? lol

 

[meerkat]

i don;t know that many either. But it'll be great to meet you. I'll be the LONA lurking in the corner!

I'll be interested in the replies as I'm not certain how to behave in Rotterdam, so the more info the better!

 

[The Mad Collector]

Just be yourself Meerkat and let the lunacy wash over you. I've been to several of these now and the more you go to the more fun it is especially when you start meeting people you recognise

 

[meerkat]

I'm so looking forward to Rotterdam!

 

[Sjoerd3000]

You'll get him going again SG! Don't mention the day-glo wellies!

We can have a day-glo themed wedding. Seeing you, Dot, Jan and all the other lovely wimmin in the brightest of bright day-glo will really set Pooh off, won't it? :twisted: (Or send him into spasms of- joy.)

Don't think mC will concede to that though!

I must be told this love story I wasn't present for! This isn't a reeally long ongoing joke, is it? Is this the first forum romance?

It isn't an ongoing joke It's a proper romance

 

[meerkat]

SG, this is Lurve! Cuddles and all that! Seriously, we all think it's lovely!

 

[shegallivants]

Aww. I'm so glad, Sjoerd. I didn't mean to be insulting, by the way, it's just that I have friends who carry out odd, very believable, long-running, entirely false relationships on facebook (and real life ). But I'm such a sucker for romance and love stories! Is it too nosy to ask how it happened?

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

I'm so looking forward to Rotterdam!

I bought a wig today! it's really lush - silvery grey and 60 cm long Now all I have to do is get a vaguely medieval-style dress but the plastic is in shock atm

 

[ShadowNinjaCat]

I want to go too

Do it! 48 quid!

I don't know if 48 quid is not a lot in England but converted it's a lot of mony.. is that just to attend or does that include anything else?.Ah well,my mom would never let me go to England by my self anyway. Hopefully next time,must be positive.

 

[Sjoerd3000]

It's a bit nosy But I don't mind

When mC was new I recieved a pm from her with some questions about the forum and a game I was running. After that we kept in touch via pm, facebook and gmail chat.

When she visited her father (he's Dutch ) during the Christmas period we went to the cinema together, and we really liked each other After that I visited her in Budapest.

 

[meerkat]

I've just got to get a white/grey wig. Oh, and a pipe!

That is the attendance cost. The hotel (just for me) is costing about £200 for the three nights and you need to allow about that much again for costs (food, drink etc.) over the weekend excluding any purchases.

Mad, you are depressing me! I have remortgaged the house for Rotterdam!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just booked for the Con and the hotel room.

Well I can put you in touch with a really good mortgage advisor for next year.

I'm not expecting to see much change out of £750 for the weekend
