WorldCon 2005

[Stewart]

The world convention for fantasy and sci-fi stuff (or speculative, if you'd prefer) starts off today in Glasgow and runs until Sunday.

Anyone got any preference about who I should go along and punch?

Currently, I'm thinking Terry Pratchett.

Anyone wearing Mr Spock ears

 

[Zolipara]

From the list of people attending i would suggest you punch Terry Brooks, Terry Pratchett and anyone with a elf costume.

 

[Stewart]

I'll go find a photo of Terry Brooks.

Definately Pratchett - good choice

Sean Wright is going to be there too - obviously putting the con into WorldCon.

 

[Dierdre]

So, are you here to talk about books or him?

Excuse me if I find your criticism wanting.

Anyone wearing Mr Spock ears

I'm going to add onto this and say anyone wearing any type of costume that isn't getting paid to be there.

Wrong thread, mate. Take the first left, second door on the right.

Perhaps we need a sub-forum for spammy folks who you manage to upset. Wanna create a poll on it?

 

[Stewart]

I certainly won't be going along to. £25 to laugh at people dressed as pixies; no thanks. Althouhgh, for that price alone, I'd get to punch Pratchett. Maybe I should create a poll.

Actually, looke like it's more like £40 if you want to go on the day there's pixies there. I can't imagine shelling out that kindof cash for a big geeky costume party.

I've just received the following email from my colleague's girlfriend who works at the WorldCon venue:

I've just seen a man dressed as a wolf, with a green cape, queueing up for the ATM on the concourse. And its only ten past ten!

What must these people be thinking?

 

[Shade]

What must these people be thinking?

Something along the lines of: "What sort of a life is this??" perhaps?

Sadly Sean Wright will not be in attendance, as I understand he's in Australia.

A trip, no doubt, funded by his incredible book sales.

Young man, one should not be subject to your impudence on this forum.

You are obviously a mean twisted little person for whom grandeur will never trouble your delusions.

Have you thought of setting that to music? You could use Pomp and Circumstance.


My dearest Dierdre (I always thought it was Deirdre, but then some people spell Denise as Deniece; there's no accounting for some people's parents), may I remind you that the young man in question has been in this forum for a long time while spammers come and go? Will you still be here on Monday?

 

[Ronny]

I rather like Stewart's impudence

 

[cabrasopa]

Stewart's cool and i don't like birds either!

Oh yes one should, I love Stewart's impudence and positively look forward to it.
