The 2011 Irish Discworld Convention

[meerkat]

OK! Where was Pip and where was Archer? We sought high and in the bar to see if they made contact but NON (<-----Genuan)! And I had my handbag ready for Pip too! (a shame, it was!)

The best award goes to Jan who is seen using her mobile clacks to let people know she had just outbid Colin Smythe for Once More with Footnotes!

[Dotsie]

Brilliant pics meer! Did Jan do her Jackrum as well?

Cheers Sjoerd. Really missed not having DEATH around!

 

[Sjoerd3000]

I'll be there in Birmingham

Oh good! Did you like the guy in the Carrot costume? Very brave of him but he did have nice legs!

Djelibabi did a great Bursar! (at least I think it was Djelibabi). Might have been a bit sloshed at the time!
Next year I think I might enter the Maskerade. That was fun.

Wasn't he cold?

Yup that's Djelibabi (he was the Bursar in Rotterdam too )

 

[meerkat]

No, it was nice and cosy in the hotel! Wasn't too bad outside either, Nippy but with sunshine. PErfect early winters day!

Djelibabi was an excellent burser down to his multi coloured mittins!

i cant get over that that houses back door is below river leveljeez ibet theyve got ajob getting flood insurance

 

[meerkat]

A very odd building. There were more back stairs than I could shake a stick at! A rabbit warren is what it was.

I didn't get to ask about the insurance, it was just so picturesque!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Looks like you had a good time Meer.

@ RJH there is always quite a lot at Discworld cons but it's not compulsory to do so.

 

[meerkat]

Gods, there were at this one! But there was so much to choose from! It was fun in itself working out the day.

The food though, was splendid and you got looked at with a puzzled expression if you only had a small hot breakfast. I was told I could go back! The menu I hope came out ok and that you can see the choices?
What a choice, even if you were vegtarian. The lady next to me had gluten issues and they served her up gluten free and she got a strawberry pavlova whilst we had to make do with fruit crumble (ice or ice cream or both) or a warm brownie with cream and ice cream... I mean, really......oh and there was coffee and tea. NO MINTS! but we couldn't have managed them anyway!

Oh, and the chips were excellent!
