Wouldn't put that past him either :lol:

I'll let you know when I see him and his family in April. Still it will be one less for the 'Leonard of Quirm - lets escape convention and drink some real beer at a sensible price bus'
One of those? Oh I'm sure I have one somewhere..

Ok I've now officially got time off work WOOHOO :D

I'd also like to take this opportunity to offer my hospitality to anyone (I'm thinking of our oversees friends on here) who'd like a place to stay just before or after the convention to help out with costs. I could pick up and drop off at an airport too if need be as I have the whole week off :D I should point out that I only have room for one or maybe a couple.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.

The rest of us are a bit crap.

Some interesting facts graphs and pie charts about how quickly the DWCon sold out, I'm glad I got mine in the 1st week. :mrgreen: :D

The pizza diagram is fun :D I just can't decide which orange is Hungary - it's pretty much the same colour as Ireland and Belgium :?

Just copied this from the news letter, The Banquet will take place on the Sunday evening of the Convention by ticket only at a cost of £45 each.

That is a little bit too much for a veggie meal which will cost the hotel a couple of quid at the most, quite glad I will be leaving on the Sunday evening.

But the hotel has a habit of ripping con attendee's off they held the Eastercon one there last year. :evil: and I for one won't go back there if the next DWCon is held there. :cry:

Sorry you're not happy with that Dug, but I'm definitely signing up for the dinner. Om nom!
What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
